Technical briefs and website specifications

You are the expert in your business. We help you turn that knowledge into a clear specification that developers can quote for accurately and build from.

Talk To Us About A Brief

WHY PROJECTS GO WRONG BEFORE THEY START

You know what works in your business and what doesn't. The tricky part is converting that knowledge into a technical brief and requirements document.

So often, problems come from misunderstandings between what the client actually wants and what was scoped. How do you know what should be included, what can be left flexible, and what needs to be defined in detail before development begins?

That's where we help.

Without a clear brief Quotes that can't be compared, surprise extras, and a system that doesn't quite fit how you work.
With a clear brief Better, like-for-like quotes, fewer misunderstandings, and confidence that what gets built is what you need.

WHAT GOES INTO A TECHNICAL BRIEF

We work with you to translate your ideas, processes and goals into a structured specification. Every project is different, but a typical brief covers:

Goals and success measures

Why the project exists, who it is for, and how you will know it has worked.

User journeys

Who uses the system and the steps they take, from customers to back-office staff.

Core features

What the system must do, prioritised into essentials, nice-to-haves and later phases.

Data

What information is stored, where it comes from today, and what needs migrating.

Integrations

The payment, courier, finance and other systems it needs to talk to.

Risks and unknowns

Technical considerations and open questions, raised early rather than mid-build.

HOW IT WORKS

1

LISTEN

We talk to you and the people who will use the system, and look at how the work is done today.

2

DRAFT

We write a structured specification, using diagrams and prototypes where they make things clearer.

3

REVIEW

We go through it with you, fill the gaps and agree what is in scope and what can stay flexible.

4

DELIVER

You get a tender-ready document you own, ready to send to us or to any developer or agency.

WHO IT'S FOR

Whether you're commissioning a new website, rebuilding an existing platform, or digitising a business process, we help you go to market with confidence and clarity.

The brief is yours to keep. You can ask us to quote for the build, or take it to any other developer or agency.

WHY SPECIFICATIONS MATTER MORE THAN EVER

Detailed specifications went out of fashion for a while. With software increasingly built with the help of AI coding tools, a clear, precise description of how a system should work has become valuable again: it is what both people and tools build from. Where it helps, we go further and prototype parts of the system, so everyone can see what the finished project could look like before the larger cost is committed.

If you already have systems in place and aren't sure what to change, a Systems MOT is a good first step. And when you are ready to build, see how we approach bespoke web development.
