Plan a website around your brand strategy

A website can explain a service, generate inquiries, support sales, or help existing customers. Agree on its primary role before discussing individual pages and visual details.

Agree on the website’s role

Identify the people who will use it and the questions they need answered. This gives the project a practical starting point.

Translate positioning into content

Your brand strategy should inform the language, examples, and priorities on the site. Explain what makes your offer relevant without relying on vague claims.

Gather real evidence such as project details, process explanations, and customer questions. Useful content gives design something meaningful to organise.

• Who you help.
• What problem you solve.
• How the process works.
• What someone can do next.

Map the pages and customer journey

Plan how a visitor moves from an introduction to a decision. Make important information easy to find and keep navigation labels familiar.

A simple page map can reveal duplicated content, missing explanations, and unnecessary steps before development begins.

Prepare for life after launch

Assign responsibility for content updates, form responses, and routine maintenance. A website needs an owner after the initial project is complete.

Define what success will look like and schedule a review. Use what customers and performance data reveal to guide the next round of improvements.
