What to Include
The more of this a project brief contains, the more accurately a developer can assess it:
- The design — layered PSD, flat mockup, PDF, or a share link from your design tool.
- What you need — static HTML, a WordPress theme, responsive coding, or email templates.
- Layout count — how many genuinely different page layouts the project contains.
- Deadline — if you have one, say so now; rush work is possible when we plan for it.
- Anything unusual — animation, integrations, legacy browser requirements, accessibility targets.
How a Quote Is Assessed
A developer reviews the files, layout count, responsive requirements and any unusual functionality before setting a price and delivery date. Approved work then follows the standard six-step process.
Confidentiality
Unreleased designs should be shared only after confidentiality requirements and any NDA terms are agreed. White-label arrangements are explained in the FAQ.
Planning the Schedule
State the required deadline, the number of distinct layouts and whether the work includes animation, integrations or legacy-browser requirements. These details determine whether the proposed schedule is realistic.
Project Brief Checklist
Include the source format, page types, responsive breakpoints, browser support, accessibility target, integrations and deadline. Keep confidential files out of an initial brief until sharing terms are settled.
