Start your brief

Your brief, one step at a time.

Your answers stay in this browser until you submit.

01 / 05

Start with the business.

Tell us who you are and what you want your next website to do. Short answers are enough.

Only your company name and reply details are required. Everything else is optional.

If you have one. For example, yourcompany.com.

What no longer reflects the business, or what would you like the website to make possible?

A launch, event or business change, and why the timing matters.

Distinguish offices or facilities from the areas you serve. Note who can confirm the details or enquiries outside normal coverage.

02 / 05

Who needs to understand you?

Help us see your business through your buyers’ eyes. We’ll turn the detail into a clear story.

Leave anything you’re unsure about. We’ll work through it with you.

Your primary buyers, anyone else who matters, and what they need to assess.

For example, discuss a project, request a quote or find a technical document.

The questions your sales or technical team answers repeatedly.

Key services or product families

Add the most useful examples. You do not need to enter a complete catalogue.

Capability 1

03 / 05

Build on what you already have.

Links and existing material save your team time. You do not need to create new content to complete this brief.

Leave anything you’re unsure about. We’ll work through it with you.

Owners, dates or revisions, and what is approved for public use. Leave missing evidence blank.

Anything that needs confirming

Unknowns are useful too. Record a question instead of guessing.

Open question 1

04 / 05

Keep the useful connections.

Share the details you know. Sidetrack will help identify what needs checking before launch.

Leave anything you’re unsure about. We’ll work through it with you.

Your identity, useful page addresses, documents customers link to, or anything else the next website should preserve.

Enquiry inboxes and their owners, forms or other systems. Include domain and hosting owners’ names if known, never passwords.

The people responsible for scope, technical accuracy and launch approval.

How a real enquiry is received, any Analytics or Search Console owner, important launch checks and who will maintain the content.

05 / 05

Ready when you are.

Check your answers and tell us where to reply. You can return to any section before sending.

A useful starting point is enough. This is not a requirement to write the website yourself.

Sidetrack will use these details to review your brief and respond. Privacy details.
