START ONLINE / BUILD WITH CLARITY

Your vision.
Every detail considered.

Tell us what you need through a guided project brief. We handle follow-up questions, proposals and approvals in writing. Form and email are preferred, with phone contact also available.

Required questions are marked *. Your answers stay on this page until you choose to send, download or email your brief.

Read our Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab) and Terms & Conditions (opens in a new tab) before sharing a brief.

01

Your business

A little context helps us make the right recommendations.

Use your project name if the business is still being formed.
A public link, or “none yet.”
Useful for deadlines and written updates; no call is required.
Who they are, where they are and what they need from you.
02

Your project

Describe what you need in your own words. “Not sure” is a useful answer.

For example: receive qualified inquiries, sell products, take bookings or save staff time.
Describe what people must be able to do. Include anything that is essential at launch.
Optional public links. Explain what you like; we do not copy another company’s identity.
Styles, colors, features, platforms or past frustrations.
03

Pages, features & workflows

The questions below adapt to the service you choose.

Website requirements

List the pages and approximate total. “Help me plan the pages” is fine.
Website features
For example: request a quote, buy, book or apply.
If relevant: how many, options/variants, inventory, shipping, taxes or booking rules.
Wix, Shopify, WordPress, a custom site, or no preference.
Email marketing, calendars, CRM, payments or other tools; say which accounts already exist.
Pages, products, blog posts, forms, account data or none. Do not paste customer records.

Application requirements

Where should the app run?Each platform needs its own scope, testing and release review. iOS and Android count as two platforms.
Example: sign up → browse → book → pay → receive a confirmation.
Approximate screen count; customer, staff, driver, administrator, etc.
App features
Which developer accounts exist? Any accessibility, device or review requirements? No credentials.

Software requirements

What triggers the work, what happens next and what result should be produced?
Spreadsheets, databases, emails, forms or other software.
How many people, what each role can do and approximate transactions or records.
Describe types and approximate volume; do not provide actual personal records.
“Not sure” is fine. Account access and subscriptions are scoped separately.
Describe categories and requirements, not private data or secrets.
An example task, expected output and any exceptions to handle.

Brand requirements

Brand deliverables
Audience, personality, position in the market and a few descriptive words.
Web, apps, print, signage, embroidery or other uses.

Hosting & care requirements

Public URL, kind of site/app, current platform and expected workload.
Provider names only; do not include credentials.
Care needs
Downtime, performance, recurring issues or expected growth.

Maintenance requirements

Public URL or app name, platform, supported versions and number of systems. No passwords.
For example: one WordPress website, an iOS app, Android, a web system, testing or production.
Describe examples and frequency. Plans have one combined allowance, not unlimited support.
Who manages these today? List responsibilities only; no credentials or private records.
An inquiry is not an emergency support channel. Response and resolution plans are agreed separately.

Search visibility requirements

Public website URL, platform and approximate page count. Say if the site is not live yet.
Recent changes, known indexing issues, competitors or searches that matter to you.
Tell us which tools are available and who owns them. Do not share account credentials.
New writing and ongoing content campaigns are separately scoped.

Let’s find the right solution

We can recommend a service from your written brief; technical terminology is not necessary.
04

Content & access

Tell us what is ready and where you need help. Do not include passwords or private customer records.

What is already available?
Writing, photography, product entry, page planning, brand assets or no help needed.
Public/non-sensitive links only. Restricted files can be shared securely after scope review. No passwords, API keys or private customer files.
You, a staff member, a previous agency or not sure. Names/roles only; no credentials.
Tell us about known standards, audience needs or policies that affect the project.
05

Budget, timing & care

Define the practical boundaries before a proposal is prepared.

“Flexible” is fine. Timing is confirmed after scope review.
Separating essentials from later ideas helps protect your budget.
Name/role, other reviewers and any approval process.
06

Review & next steps

We work through written briefs, email questions and digital approvals. Form and email are preferred, with phone contact also available.

Optional. Tell us about additional reviewers or availability for written feedback.

What happens after your inquiry?

We review your brief, send any follow-up questions by email and prepare a written scope. Deliverables, costs, third-party charges, timing and revisions are agreed digitally before work starts. Phone contact is also available when you need it; project scope and approvals stay in writing.

This is a project inquiry, not a purchase or commitment.
