Not weird at all. You would be shocked to see how many CEOs and c-suite people sit on boards at other companies. As long as they aren't competitors, no issues and they are generally just collecting additional money.

I've been on a project at a Client where our company should have walked away because of screw ups and delays that the client was causing. Millions underwater later, it was finally delivered. The client's CEO sat on the BOD of our company, so of course it got done no matter how much it cost so the CEO didn't get thrown out.

I'm guessing this was not just a front-end website change. This had to be a backend system change that they couldn't keep running in parallel.

Normally you would roll this out slowly and route a % of traffic to the new website. Then monitor it for issues and feedback. If there were problems, you turn the routing off until you fix it.

The only thing that makes sense why they couldn't do that is because they went to a new data storage and/or structure. Instead of spending the money to then keep the legacy and new system in sync for all transactions, they probably chose the cheap option of just backing it up and switching over.

Whoever made that decision should be fired.
