Ep 008: The Dos & Don'ts Of Writing Bulletproof Website Specifications

People Over Pixels

It’s one of the biggest projects a company can undertake: launching a new website.

Whether you’re creating an entirely new domain or overhauling your existing site, it’s incredibly important and difficult to get it right - because between brief and execution things can easily go off-piste. Success starts with a well-considered website spec that clearly maps out the site’s purpose and core functionalities, but it’s easier said than done.

Following the conversation on project discovery workshops in the last episode, on this episode of People Over Pixels we’re talking all about how to write effective project specifications.

We’ll be discussing the Dos and Don'ts of writing a specification for your next web project; how to make sure the spec is aligned with your goals; the importance of not skimping on the details; and how to tackle the dreaded budget conversation.

Giorgio, importantly, also learns the importance of why your project specs benefit from being living documents before being continuously berated by Sam.
