The Project Kickoff Checklist
Starting a new server or development project doesn't have to be a slow process. When we begin, I typically ask for the following to get the momentum moving:
- A Short Brief: A concise document describing your primary goals and what success looks like for this project.
- Visual Inspiration: Examples of sites you like, which helps me understand the aesthetic and functional standards you expect.
- Brand Assets: Your high-resolution logo, official brand images, and style guides.
- Infrastructure Access: If we are not starting from scratch, I will need access to your existing hosting or domain registrar.
- A Point of Contact: A designated person who can provide timely feedback to keep the project on schedule.
Priorities and Compliance
Beyond the technical assets, understanding your "must-haves" versus your "nice-to-haves" is critical. Clear priorities allow me to allocate resources effectively.
Additionally, if your business operates in a space with specific regulatory requirements—such as strict privacy laws or accessibility standards—sharing these early is vital. It ensures that the security and architecture I build for you meet your legal obligations from day one.
Why this matters
When a project starts with a foggy vision, it inevitably leads to "scope creep"—where the workload expands without a corresponding adjustment in time or budget. Early clarity helps me provide you with a fixed, realistic estimate so there are no surprises when the final invoice arrives.
