Website Briefing Checklist

So how much is a website? It’s the most common question we receive understandably but it’s like asking how long is a piece of string or how much is a house. There’s a lot of behind the scenes considerations that go into planning a digital platform; website design is not just a visual game but also a functionality one. It weighs on different factors and any detail could add or subtract from the total dramatically.

A little Something For You

To make things easier for everyone, you need a website checklist to help you work out the core structure of your site, understand the business and the elements the customers looking for. Here is a simple checklist to help you out. It doesn’t need to be filled out in great details, any little part helps. The more you provide, the more we have to work with.

• Do you currently have an existing website?
• What is the main purpose of your website?

• Who are your competitors? (please include URL addresses)
• Have you seen any websites that you like the look and feel of? (inspirational or as a general design guide)
