Website Project Brief

Tell us about your larger WordPress website project

Planning a rebuild, redesign, new website, or larger piece of WordPress work?

Use this brief to share what you are trying to achieve, what is not working now, and any details you already know. You do not need everything worked out before getting in touch. We will review the brief and help identify the most sensible next step.

Rebuilds, redesigns and new websites Larger changes and development work A rough brief is fine

Need a smaller or urgent fix? Use the One-Off Support Enquiry instead.

Is this the right form for your project?

This brief is best when your website needs more than a quick fix or small update. It helps us understand the bigger picture before recommending the right route.

Project types

What can you use this brief for?

Not sure which one applies? Choose the closest option in the brief, or tell us in your own words.

Start with what you know

Not sure what kind of project it is yet?

You might know what needs to improve without knowing whether it calls for a rebuild, redesign, development work or something smaller.

Describe the problem or goal in your own words. We can use that information to help identify the right route.

Starting a new website? Tell us what you want it to do. You can leave questions about an existing website blank.

1
You may know the problem

The website feels outdated, messy, slow, hard to update, or no longer right for the business.

2
You may know the goal

You want a clearer website, better structure, easier editing, stronger pages, or a more reliable setup.

3
You may not know the route yet

That is fine. The brief helps us understand the situation before recommending what makes sense.

Preparing your brief

What to include in your project brief

You do not need a polished proposal or a detailed specification. The most useful brief is a clear summary of what is happening now, what you want to improve, and anything that may affect the work.

Share what you know. We can help fill in the gaps.

Include any fixed deadline or essential feature, even if other details are still undecided.

Include what you know about:
1
Your starting point

What you have now, what is not working, or whether you are starting from scratch.

2
The goal

What you want the project to achieve for the business, your team, or your visitors.

3
The likely scope

Any pages, sections, features, forms, booking tools, ecommerce needs, or integrations you already know about.

4
Design and content

Brand assets, example websites, written content, images, or anything that still needs creating.

5
Technical details

Hosting, migration needs, page builder details, performance issues, plugin concerns, or known technical problems.

6
Timeline and budget

Any deadlines and a rough budget range, if you have one.

What happens next

What happens after you send your brief

Once you send the brief, we will review what you have shared and consider the next step. We may need to ask a few questions, discuss a possible project or suggest a different support route.

1

We review the brief

We look at your goals, current website, likely scope, timeline, budget range, and any technical details you have shared.

2

We check which route fits

We consider whether the work calls for a larger project, a smaller service or a discussion about ongoing support.

3

We reply with a practical next step

You will hear back with clear guidance on what we recommend and what we need next, if anything.

The wider picture

Why a joined-up WordPress review matters

Larger website work rarely sits on its own. A rebuild, redesign, or development project can affect hosting, performance, security, maintenance, content, plugins, and how the site is supported afterwards.

We consider how the proposed work relates to the rest of your website, including anything that may need attention before or after the project.

You do not need to choose hosting or a care plan before sending a project brief.

1
We look at the wider setup

Your website’s hosting, plugins, performance, security, and maintenance needs can all affect the right project route.

2
We consider smaller alternatives

A focused change, migration or support task may be more suitable than a full rebuild.

3
We consider what follows the project

Hosting, upkeep and future changes can matter when planning the work.

Questions before sending

Questions before sending a project brief

A few quick answers if you are not sure whether this is the right place to start.

Do I need a complete brief before getting in touch?

No. A rough brief is fine. Share what you know, and we can ask follow-up questions if we need more detail.

What if I am not sure whether I need a rebuild, redesign, or development work?

Choose “Not sure yet” in the project type field, then describe what you want to achieve in your own words.

Can I use this form if I don't have a website yet?

Yes. Choose “New WordPress website” as the project type. You can leave the current website URL blank and describe what you want the new site to achieve.

Is this form for urgent website problems?

No. If your website is broken or showing errors, start with Website Repair to check whether that service fits. If you are unsure which service is right, use the One-Off Support Enquiry.

Can existing clients use this form?

Yes. Existing clients can use this form when the work is larger than normal support or outside the usual care plan scope.

Do I need a fixed budget?

No, but a rough budget range helps us recommend a realistic route. It does not need to be exact.

What happens if another service is a better fit?

We will let you know. The brief helps us decide whether the work fits a larger project, smaller website change, one-off support, migration, or care plan route.
