A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE THE NEXT STEP
Questions worth asking.
What should I prepare before discussing website building?
Bring content, interface and technology into the same plan. Explore how a clear structure becomes an experience your visitors can use and your team can maintain. Bring the existing website or a representative example, explain the customer task and identify the constraints or decisions that are still open.
How do we review define the customer task?
Use a representative scenario and agree what a useful outcome would look like before changing the wider experience. For Website Building, the discussion should connect define the customer task with shape the content and interface and the people who will maintain the result.
What happens after the initial discussion?
The next step is to agree whether a scoped review or project is appropriate. Deliverables, access, dependencies, costs and timing need to be confirmed for that engagement. A conceptual illustration on this page does not represent a completed client project or promise a result.
