Website Project Checklist - Free Download
Getting a website built is far smoother when you walk in prepared. This free checklist covers everything to sort before you brief a web designer, so your project starts on the front foot and does not stall halfway.
What's inside the checklist
Ten practical steps that save time and money on any web design project:
- - Define your goal: enquiries, sales, bookings or credibility
- - Know your audience and the customers you most want to reach
- - Gather your logo, branding and any brand colours
- - Collect your content: services, about, contact details and images
- - List the pages you think you need, and the ones you do not
- - Sort your domain name and who currently controls it
- - Decide who will update the site after launch
- - Set a rough budget and a realistic timeline
- - Note any bookings, payments or integrations you need
- - Plan how you will measure whether the site is working

Method: how we plan web design Brisbane projects
This checklist is not generated from a formula; it is the same preparation list we work through with Brisbane businesses before a build begins. Each item maps to a decision that, left unanswered, is the usual cause of a project stalling or blowing out: an unclear goal, missing content, an unsorted domain, or no plan for who updates the site afterwards. We have grouped the items in the order they tend to matter, from strategy and audience through to content, domain control, budget and measurement.
Working through it before you brief anyone means you arrive with the decisions made, which keeps scope, timeline and cost predictable. It also protects you as a customer: knowing exactly what you are asking for makes it far easier to compare quotes fairly and hold a supplier to a clear, written scope.
For guidance on your rights when engaging a service and comparing quotes, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) publishes plain-English information on fair dealing and consumer guarantees.
