Project brief checklist

Not sure what to send? Start here.

You do not need a perfect plan before getting in touch. This page gives you a simple checklist of the details that help me understand a website, refresh, web tool, portfolio page or tech support job.

WebsitesRefreshesWeb toolsTech support
Quick version

Send what you have. Rough notes, links, screenshots and examples are enough to start.

  • What you need the site, page or tool to do
  • Any current website or social page
  • Pages, features or examples you like
  • Budget range and any deadline

Useful details to include.

The more of this you can send, the easier it is to give a sensible answer. It is fine if some parts are missing.

01

The basics

Name, location, what you do, who the site is for and what visitors should do next.

02

Pages

Homepage, services, about, contact, gallery, prices, FAQs, booking, portfolio or anything else you need.

03

Content

Text, photos, logo, colours, social links, examples of your work, prices or rough notes.

04

Style

Sites you like, sites you dislike, colours to use, colours to avoid and the general feel you want.

05

Setup

Domain name, hosting, email, Cloudflare, old website access or anything already bought.

06

Budget and timing

A rough budget range and whether there is a deadline. This helps keep the suggestion realistic.

Example message you can copy.

Use this as a starting point if you do not know what to write.
