To help with the design of your website, it would be ideal if you could prepare a requirements document. FODESIGN would be happy to know your needs and will keep your confidential information secure.
1. Analyze Industry Websites
Refer to competitors' websites or industry websites you admire, and understand what features and content they have implemented. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these reference sites from a visitor's perspective, then write down your thoughts in the document. For example, consider whether the website has a clear theme, if it attracts clicks, and whether it is easy to use.
2. Determine Appearance Requirements
A professional website development company can provide expert design services, so you need to define your appearance requirements. Based on the reference sites, outline your preferences for the interface, even down to the specific colors you want to use.
3. Define the Website's Structure
A website consists of many pages. The structure categorizes these pages. When designing navigation, try to limit the number of navigation items to 5-7, as this is the optimal number that people can easily process at once. If you need more navigation items, consider organizing some into submenus. If you have concerns about the arrangement of categories, please note them in the document. We know how to plan to minimize the number of clicks and ensure visitors can easily reach every page.
4. Specify Functional Requirements
What are functions? You might be unsure how to express your ideas. In this case, you can take screenshots of sections you like on the reference websites and add annotations. Whether it's a feature on the front end, the intended purpose, or back-end requirements, screenshots can express your ideas more concretely and clearly than plain text or verbal descriptions.
5. Add Any Ideas You Have
There may be some ideas you’re not sure whether they fall under functional or appearance requirements—just include them in the document. Nothing communicates your ideas to FODESIGN better than a detailed website requirements document. We will review the document, clarify any unclear parts with you, and then refine the entire requirements before submitting it back for your confirmation.
