What’s a web development project brief?
A project brief (project proposal, creative brief, design brief, or project plan) is a starting point for your web development project. Use it as a roadmap for the entire project and to help ensure all parties involved are on the same page regarding the project’s objectives and deliverables.

What should I include in a web development project brief?
A web development project brief should focus on results and outcomes. Here are some elements you may want to include:
- Project Title
- Project Objectives
- Scope
- Target Audience
- Design and Branding
- Technical Requirements
- Content Requirements
- Project Timeline
- Budget
- Stakeholders
- Deliverables
Allow your brief to grow and adapt.
Refrain from being concerned with formatting or adhering to a specific outline; a project brief can and should evolve depending on the goal. Here’s how you can achieve it:
- Describe the project. Give a project overview by defining the what and the why.
- Define SMART project objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely).
- Identify your target audience.
- Set the schedule and budget, including the final due date and important milestones.
- Detail the project scope: deliverables, features, tasks, and objectives.
- Determine how your team will define project success.
