Do You Have A Website Brief?

A website brief is an outline of what you want from the website, what you want it to do, what features you want, what videos you want and your budget.

A website brief is simply a proposal document, intended for a web agency, to help them understand what you’re looking for in a new website.  

It outlines key things about your website such as your target audience, problems with the old site and what you’d want your new site to achieve.

Just to be clear, this isn’t a document telling your designer precisely how your new website should look (you don’t want to be doing all the hard work if you’re going to pay a designer to do this for you!).  

All web designers in Exeter build websites on different web platforms, so knowing which platform is best is really the starting point.

However, you should include a few examples of websites you like the look and feel of to give the web design agency an idea of what you envisage your site looking like.

A Modern Website In The Digital World

Technology moves very quickly, so being on the ball is important.  Whether the website is essential to your business or not, people will judge your product/service on your website.

Responsive websites are best, as they automatically adapt to software updates from smart phones.

A good web design agency will ensure that every page on your website is organised well.  In a form that’s consistent so that people can navigate effortlessly.  Having an up to date site-map is also important.

The information on your web pages should also be displayed in an interesting and engaging to your customers.  The use of pictures and infographics is also important.

Chunks of text or an overload of imagery will drive people away.  This flows into the branding of your company.  

What kind of message are you communicating to your customers?  What emotions do people have when they look at your site (or your brand)?
