Before you even consider approaching a company to design and build your website, you will first need to create a basic Scope of Work (scope).
The scope needs to detail the basic background of your company or organization, the aim of the design project, budget goals, completion time frame, audience, design requirements… essentially you need to be able to tell the company what you want and what your website needs to achieve, thus creating the framework in which they can design your site.
