    Website requirements document generator

    8 questions, about 5 minutes. You get a clear requirements document, ready to send to providers so the quotes you receive can be compared. Free, no sign-up.

    Your project

    What kind of website is it?

    Project type *

    Choose a project type.

    Describe your business in a few words.

    The website's goal

    The goal decides the pages, the calls to action and what will be measured. "A modern website" is not a goal.

    Main goal *

    Choose the main goal.

    Your visitors

    Who should find this website, and what will make them contact you or buy?

    Describe your visitors in a few words.

    Pages

    A rough list is enough. It lets the work be priced.

    Pages you want

    Features

    For each feature, say whether it is a must-have, a nice-to-have or for later. This lets a provider price a realistic first version, then the additions separately.

    Content and what already exists

    Who provides what, and what you already have.

    Copy
    Photos
    Logo and brand guidelines

    If the current website gets traffic from Google, the redesign must preserve it, and that work has to be planned.

    Website languages

    Constraints and preferences

    What is not negotiable, and what you like elsewhere.

    What you want to edit yourself after launch

    Budget and deadline

    This is the question that makes quotes comparable.

    € excl. VAT

    Give your best estimate, even a rough one: the amount you are prepared to invest for this website to reach its goal. A realistic budget lets you receive a solution designed for that amount, rather than a quote that misses your expectations. It commits you to nothing. For a benchmark, see how much a website costs.

    This amount is very low for a professional website and strongly limits what can be offered. Check that it matches what you are prepared to invest.

    Enter a budget, even a rough one.

    Enter a date, even an approximate one.

    What the requirements document contains

    The document covers the seven sections a provider needs to price a website without guessing:

    • Goal: what the website must achieve, and how to measure it.
    • Audience: who visits and what they look for.
    • Pages: the list, even a rough one.
    • Features: sorted into must-have, nice-to-have and later.
    • Content: who supplies the copy, photos and brand guidelines.
    • Constraints: what already exists, languages, autonomy, references.
    • Budget and deadline: a range and a date.

    It does not describe the technology: proposing and justifying it is the provider's job. For each section in detail, read the requirements document guide.

    Why state a budget?

    Hiding it does not lower prices: it forces every provider to guess, and the quotes you receive head in different directions. An honest range gets you proposals suited to what you want to invest, and lets you compare them.

    What next?

    You can send this document to several providers. If you send it to me, I will reply within 24 hours with a detailed quote, free and with no obligation.
