01

Describe the change you need

Replace “a modern website” with the problem you need to solve. Do visitors misunderstand the offer, struggle to enquire or can you not update the content yourself? Choose the main issue and define how improvement would be recognised.

02

Separate needs from inspiration

References help discuss style, but do not replace audience information. Explain what you like in each example: navigation, content rhythm, colour or photography. List essential launch features separately from later possibilities.

03

Assign responsibility

Include domain, hosting, languages, content migration and integrations. State who supplies copy and images and who approves the work. Timing depends on materials and decisions as well as design and development.

Put it into practice

  1. Write one main goal and audience.
  2. Separate launch features from later features.
  3. Identify materials, decision makers and timing dependencies.
