Three sections
Content Strategy
This section focuses on defining the primary objectives of the website, identifying the target audience, and outlining the key messaging and content requirements. Clients are prompted to articulate their goals for the website, describe their ideal visitors, and specify the types of content they wish to include.
Style
The Style section delves into the visual aspects of the website, including design preferences, branding elements, and imagery. Clients are encouraged to describe the overall look and feel they envision for their website, provide examples of websites they admire, and specify their preferred color schemes and branding elements.
Organizational
The Organizational section addresses practical considerations such as deadline and budget. This information is essential to plan the project timeline and ensure meeting expectations within a given budget.
Each section offers concrete prompts and questions regarding different important topics for creating a new Website.
By guiding clients through these structured prompts, the Homepage Canvas ensures that both clients and developers have a clear understanding of the project requirements from the outset. This clarity minimizes misunderstandings, reduces development time, and ultimately can lead to more successful outcomes for website projects with less effort for both clients and developers.
