A better website starts with a better brief.

Start with the visitor, not the page count.

Write down who the website is for, why they would visit, and what they should be able to do. A prospective customer comparing providers needs different information from an existing customer looking for support.

Choose one primary outcome.

A website can explain your services, show your work, answer questions, and generate inquiries. Decide which action matters most, then make the supporting pages help visitors reach it.

Bring the useful details.

Share your current content, brand files, audience questions, required integrations, and examples you can explain. Tell your design partner what you find useful about each example rather than asking for a copy.

Agree on scope before production.

List the pages, functionality, content responsibilities, review stages, and handover needs. Clear assumptions make it easier to compare proposals and understand changes.
