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 Useful when you are not sure which service fits A rough brief is fine Reviewed before we recommend the next step

Need a smaller or urgent fix? Use the One-Time 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.

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

Not sure yet?

Not sure what kind of project it is yet?

That is normal. Many website projects start with a problem, goal, or feeling that something needs to change before there is a clear project type.

You might not know whether you need a rebuild, redesign, development work, migration, or something smaller. Use the brief to explain what is happening, and we will help work out the right route.

You do not need to use the right technical wording. Plain English is better than guessing.

Customer reviewing website project options on a planning board before choosing the right type of website work
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The website feels outdated, messy, slow, hard to update, or no longer right for the business.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.

Before the form

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.

Rough notes are fine. Honest context is more useful than trying to make the brief sound perfect.

Useful details to include
1
The current website

What is not working, what feels outdated, and what prompted the project.

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

A rough timeline and budget range so we can recommend the most realistic route.

What happens next

What happens after you send your brief

Once you send the brief, we will review the details and work out the most sensible next step. That may be a project quote, a few follow-up questions, a smaller service, or 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 identify the best route

The work may fit a rebuild, redesign, new website, development task, migration, one-time support request, or care plan conversation.

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.

If your enquiry is better suited to another service, we will point you in the right direction.

Joined-up review

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.

That is why we review the brief in context, not just as a list of requested changes. The aim is to recommend the route that makes the most sense for the website now and in the long term.

The goal is not to push the biggest option. It is to recommend the route that makes the most sense.

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 help avoid the wrong kind of work

Sometimes a full project is right. Sometimes a smaller change, support task, migration, or care plan is the better next step.

3
We think beyond launch

A website should be easier to manage after the work is complete, not harder to look after.

Need something else?

Need a different kind of help?

If this does not feel like a larger website project, another route may be a better fit. Choose the option that matches what you need right now.

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?

That is okay. Choose the closest option in the form, or explain the situation in your own words.

Is this form for urgent website problems?

No. If your website is broken, showing errors, or needs urgent support, the One-Time Support Enquiry is usually the better route.

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-time support, migration, or care plan route.

Still unsure? Use the form to explain what you are trying to achieve, and we will help point you in the right direction.
