Why Filling Out a Client Brief is Crucial for Your Website Project

As a small business owner, you've likely realized the importance of a strong online presence. A well-designed website can be a powerful tool to attract new customers, showcase your products or services, and build brand awareness. To ensure that your web designer creates a website that meets your specific needs, it's crucial to fill out the questionnaire you’ve been sent to the best of your abilities. Nobody knows your business better than you do.




What is the questionnaire for?


The information you provide in the form helps us create what we call in our office a Client Brief. A client brief is a document that outlines your goals, expectations, and requirements for your website project. It serves as a roadmap for our web designers, helping them understand your vision and create a website that aligns with your brand and business objectives. That’s why we always say Your Vision is Our Mission. 



Why is a Complete Client Brief Important?


A complete client brief is essential for several reasons:


  1. Clear Communication: A well-filled-out brief ensures clear communication between you and your web designer. It minimizes misunderstandings and reduces the risk of errors.

  2. Efficient Workflow: A detailed brief allows your web designer to work efficiently and effectively. They can allocate resources and plan the project timeline accurately.

  3. Customized Design: By providing specific information about your business, target audience, and brand preferences, you enable your web designer to create a tailored design that resonates with your target market.

  4. Achieving Your Goals: A clear brief helps you define your goals for the website. Whether it's to generate leads, sell products, or provide information, your web designer can work towards achieving these objectives.



Key Categories to Fill Out in Your Client Brief:


To ensure a successful website project, make sure to provide detailed information in every category. Here is a list of them and why it’s so important:


  • Owner's Name and Contact Information: This basic information helps your web designer stay in touch with you.

  • Business Address and Phone Number: This information can be used for contact purposes and local SEO.

  • Business Name: This is the foundation of your brand identity and should be clearly stated.

  • Custom Domain: If you have a specific domain name, provide it to your designer. A custom domain is the web address. It is how you obtain space on the internet for your website. If you don’t have one, just let us know and we will show you later how to get one.

  • Social Media Links: Share your social media profiles to integrate them into your website.

  • Your Logo: If you have a professionally designed logo that you own the rights to, it’s important that you let us know and share it with us so we can integrate it into your new website design. If you don’t have one, we can create one for you as a separate project.

  • Color Preferences: Specify your preferred color scheme to maintain brand consistency. If you don’t have a defined color template, just pick the one that you like for your business out of the options included in your questionnaire. It can be fine tuned later or we can create one for you as a separate project.

  • Business Description: Clearly articulate your business's mission, vision, and unique selling points.

  • Customer Demographics: Describe your target audience's age, gender, interests, and location.

  • Products or Services Provided: List the main products or services you offer.

  • Purpose of the New Website: Clearly state the primary goals you want to achieve with your website.


By providing a comprehensive client brief, you're investing in the success of your website project. A well-designed website can significantly impact your business's online presence and drive growth.
