Relaunching website

I have redesigned my existing website. What is the best way to relaunch the newly designed pages? Is it recommended to take the existing pages down (delete) first or put the new files first?

Just to be safe, I like to move old site files & assets to a new folder called OLD_SITE.  You might need something from it later.  When you're certain you don't need it, go ahead and delete the folder from your server.

Don't forget to create a new sitemap.xml for your root server.  Also tell Google to index your new site through your Webmaster Tools console.
