Next step

Website review vs website brief

This page helps decide whether the next useful step is to inspect the live site or to collect the brief details that will guide the build. Both are useful, but they solve different problems.

Choose the next step

Start with a website review

Use it when the site already exists and you need to understand what is weak: speed, SEO, mobile UX, trust, messaging and the lead path.

Start with the website brief

Use it when the next build still needs direction: business goals, services, languages, trust material, pages and launch limits.

What the pair solves

The review shows what should change. The brief shows what the new website should include before design begins.

What to send

Send the live site, the goal, the audience, the current work examples and any limits on what can be shown publicly.

Keep it real

Do not publish made-up results, goals, or readiness claims. The point is to clarify the real next step, not to guess.

FAQ

Questions worth answering before the build.

Which should come first?

If there is already a live site, start with a review. If the current problem is unclear scope or missing input, start with the brief.

Can this be used before launch?

Yes. The brief path is especially useful when the build still needs page priorities, trust signals and content decisions.

Does the review replace the brief?

No. The review diagnoses the current site. The brief defines what the next build should contain.

What happens after this page?

The next step is usually the trust checklist, launch guide, or the main service page that should carry the decision forward.
