Did You Have A Website Brief?

Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers locally?  A website brief can be very helpful, both for you and the various designers, if anything it is a starting point.

A website brief is not telling agencies what you want, but it is an outline of what you are looking for.

If anything it saves you having to repeat yourself multiple times when talking to different web design agencies in the area.

Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:

  • Which web platform should you choose?
  • Who would create the website content?
  • Did you want videos on the website?
  • What about hosting?
  • Did you know the colour scheme?
  • What websites have you seen that you like?
  • What particular features did you need, such as a payment gateway?
  • How many pages did you want/need?
  • Did you have a budget to keep to?

There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.
