Foundation
If you are considering a new website for your charity, you should ensure that the developer or agency who builds it understands what you need and can advise on the best approaches.
The simplest way to do this is to write a website design brief. A website design brief is a document that sets out what you want from your website design project, setting the foundation for the work and communicating your requirements clearly.
Once you have provided potential developers or agencies with a website design brief, they can begin to collaborate with you on the project's finer details and produce a plan tailored to your charity. With their experience and industry insights, they will provide guidance on what works, challenge what may not, and explain what can be feasible within the given time and budget constraints.
The better the brief, the smoother the project and the stronger the end result.
Use our checklist to structure your website design brief.
Some sections require technical knowledge, but don’t worry if you don’t have this now. Note it down and a good developer or agency will help you find what’s right for your charity.
