Website Project Requirements
Everything You Need to Prepare Before We Begin
A successful website starts with good planning. The more information we have from the beginning, the more efficiently our team can design, develop, and launch your website. This guide outlines the information and materials that are commonly requested before starting a new website project.
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything ready today—we’ll guide you through the process and help identify what’s needed along the way.
Business Information
To help us understand your business, we’ll typically ask for:
- Business name
- Contact information
- Email address
- Phone and WhatsApp numbers
- Physical address (if applicable)
- Business hours
- Service areas or locations
- Links to your social media accounts
This information helps us build accurate contact pages and ensure consistency throughout your website.
Your Goals
Every website has a different purpose. Tell us what you’d like your website to accomplish. Common goals include:
- Generate new leads
- Showcase products or services
- Increase online visibility
- Accept bookings or reservations
- Sell products online
- Build credibility and trust
- Share information with customers
Understanding your goals helps us recommend the right structure and features for your website.
Website Content
We’ll need the content that will appear on your website, including:
- Information about your business
- Service or product descriptions
- About Us content
- Contact information
- Frequently Asked Questions (if applicable)
- Pricing or package information (if you wish to display it)
If your content isn’t finalized, don’t worry. Our team can help organize, improve, or create professional website copy as part of your project.
Branding & Visual Assets
If available, please provide:
- Your logo
- Brand colors
- Fonts or brand guidelines
- Professional photos
- Videos
- Marketing materials or brochures
Don’t have professional content yet Pacific Photography can help create high-quality photography, video, and drone content specifically designed for your website.
Inspiration
We always encourage clients to share examples of websites they like. You don’t need to copy another website—simply showing us what you like helps us better understand your preferred style, layout, and overall direction.
Existing Website (If Applicable)
If you already have a website, we’ll review it before beginning the project. We may request access to:
- Your current website
- Domain registrar
- Hosting account
- WordPress administrator (if applicable)
This allows us to evaluate what can be improved and determine the best approach for your new website.
Additional Features
If your website requires any special functionality, let us know early in the planning process. Examples include:
- Online booking systems
- E-commerce
- Payment gateways
- Membership areas
- Quote request forms
- Property listings
- Blog or news sections
- Multi-language websites
- Custom integrations
Identifying these features early helps us accurately plan your project.
Communication
To keep your project moving efficiently, we recommend having one primary contact who can provide feedback and approvals throughout the development process. Prompt communication helps reduce delays and keeps your project on schedule.
Before We Begin
Before development starts, we’ll confirm:
- Project scope
- Website structure
- Required content
- Timeline
- Pricing
- Payment schedule
- Terms and conditions
Once everything has been approved and your initial payment has been received, we’ll begin bringing your new website to life.
