HOSTRAT / THE WEBSITE FIELD GUIDE

Website planning

A better brief for a local web project.

Questions to bring to a web-design conversation in North Carolina or anywhere your business operates.

01

Describe the real service area

Record where you actually serve customers, whether they visit you and how they arrange an appointment. Use accurate location details. A place name in a page title should help visitors understand availability, not suggest an office that does not exist.

02

Agree how you will work together

Ask about meeting times, the review process, who writes the content and how feedback is consolidated. Location can affect convenience, but a clearly agreed working process matters whether the team is nearby or remote.

03

Leave with a written scope

Take the same brief to each provider and ask which assumptions need clarification. Compare the work included and the handover, not just the first number in a quote. HostRat is an independent guide publication and does not claim a North Carolina service office.
