Plan the client website
before you quote it.

Use this brief for a simple small-business website. Agree on what the site must do, check the full first-year cost, and decide who owns each account.

Fill this in, then print or save as PDF to keep your answers. This page does not submit or save them. Use project labels rather than sensitive client information.

Read the decision guide

1. Agree on the job

For accounts, online payments, complex booking, or application features, expand the technical brief before choosing a brochure-site plan.

2. Explain the choice

3. Count the first twelve months

Enter each item's full first-year amount in the same currency. A price shown “per month, billed yearly” normally means an annual upfront payment. Keep freelancer workspace costs separate from client hosting; document any amount you pass through.

4. Agree on ownership and handover

  1. Confirm ownership, billing and transfer steps in the chosen platform's current documentation.
  2. Check the live domain and submit a contact-form test after handover.
  3. Ask the client to complete a real editing task with their own access.
  4. Record renewal dates and recovery contacts in the client's secure records.
  5. Agree on future support, access and any export or migration limitations.
