FixThatNow
Web designer
A new or existing website may need a clearer structure and a consistent experience across devices. Explain the business purpose, intended users and tasks the site must support, along with existing content and systems, so the designer can plan useful pages rather than produce an attractive but incomplete shell.
Service scope
Planning and design of a website's structure, visual presentation and user journeys, with implementation and ongoing support included only when agreed. Design, development, content production, hosting and search optimisation are related but distinct responsibilities that should be visible in the proposal.
What is normally included
- Website discovery and page planning
- Visual and interaction design
- Responsive layout specification
- Implementation or handover coordination within scope
What is not included
- Unlimited development and maintenance
- Guaranteed search rankings
- Accessibility certification from appearance alone
Typical tasks
- Clarify website goals and users
- Map pages and key journeys
- Develop visual and responsive designs
- Review content and interaction requirements
- Prepare an agreed build or handover package
What to include in your brief
- Website purpose
- User groups and tasks
- Required pages and features
- Existing brand and content
- Build and support responsibilities
Choosing the right professional
Compare the proposed process and deliverables, not only portfolio screenshots. Ask who writes content, implements features, checks accessibility and maintains the site, and make sure ownership, access and handover arrangements are clear before production starts.
Important considerations
- A design may not include working functionality
- Missing content can delay the build
- Visual polish does not prove usability or accessibility
