What do you need, what belongs in your brief, and what shapes the cost? Practical guides for your website, social design and presentations.
One-page or multipage website? Choose around your buyers
Page count follows the questions buyers need answered. Use this guide to choose a focused single page, a small multipage site, or a staged approach.
Write a website design brief for an accurate studio quote
A good brief makes decisions visible before design begins. Use a practical preparation process to reduce assumptions, organize content, and receive a useful proposal.
Website not getting enquiries? Find the problem before redesigning
A quiet inbox does not identify the cause. Follow a practical sequence to locate the failure and commission the smallest useful fix.
Plan a website relaunch: protect pages, URLs and enquiry paths
A redesign can change every screen without losing the pages and contact routes people already use. Build a URL map, assign each decision, and check it before and after launch.
Website content audit: decide what to keep, rewrite or retire
Before a redesign, review what each page says, who verifies it, and whether it still helps a buyer. Use an inventory to turn review notes into clear editorial decisions.
Website launch checklist: what to test before sign-off
A polished preview does not prove that a website is ready. Test the real visitor actions, confirm enquiry delivery, assign account ownership, and record what remains open.
Plan a small business website around customer questions
A page plan should explain what each page helps a buyer decide. Use this worked three-service example to name page purposes, links and next steps before design begins.
Write a service page buyers can evaluate
A service page needs enough detail for a buyer to judge fit. Follow an annotated outline for scope, process, requirements, evidence and a useful first action.
Write homepage copy that states the offer clearly
A useful homepage says who the business serves, what it offers and where different visitors should go next. Use confirmed proof and route buyers to useful details.
Choose a web designer by reviewing the portfolio and process
A polished screenshot tells you little about the work behind it. Review live pages, ask who made which decisions, and use one rubric for every candidate.
Website case study: show the project, context and work
A credible project page lets a buyer follow what the work involved. Use approved facts, explain the designer’s role, and leave unsupported claims out.
