Website brief: agree the result before development

A brief can use ordinary words. It explains what customers and staff need to do, what materials are ready and how the result will be checked. A contract is available on request; scope and working terms should be agreed before the start.

01Understand requirements and acceptance

A requirement states what should happen. An acceptance criterion explains how to test it. A dependency is something needed first, such as content, access or a business decision. “A beautiful modern site” cannot identify where an enquiry is stored or who edits the text. Describe a complete customer journey instead.

02Write a fictional tutor’s booking request

“On a course page the customer leaves a name, contact and preferred time. The system saves the request. The tutor receives a notification and separately confirms the appointment.” This is a request, not an automatically reserved lesson. Test a valid submission from a phone, find the saved record and verify notification. Also test empty fields, double submission and a failed notification. Agree what the visitor sees in each case.

03List pages, languages and content owners

Specify pages and templates separately. One reusable template is not the same as writing and filling ten service pages. Name who creates text, photographs, translations and schedules and when they will be available. A language switch does not complete an untranslated version. Include labels, errors and confirmation. Describe what staff can edit and what training is needed.

04Describe integrations as data and actions

For each system, name the data, transfer direction, owner and error recovery. “Connect CRM” does not define fields, duplicate handling or responsibility for missing enquiries. Distinguish order, payment and reserve; a requested time and a confirmed appointment. Define permissions where staff handle different data. Separate essential launch work from later ideas.

05Agree stages, handover and ongoing costs

Each stage should end in a checkable output: structure, design, working version or publication. Name approvers and how comments are recorded. A new calculator changes scope; a broken agreed form is a correction. Record account ownership, source or export handover, instructions, backup and support. Timing depends on materials and decisions. Start with a short draft and refine technical details together.
