Project Requirements Brief Generator.
Walks through assets, access, technical constraints and timeline the way a scoping call would, then produces a downloadable brief so the first call starts at the second question.

Nobody can scope credentials-dependent work without knowing this up front.
Platform requirements, integrations that are non-negotiable, anything a builder needs to know before quoting.
Your brief
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS BRIEF -------------------------------------------- Project type: Website design or rebuild What already exists: - Nothing yet, starting from scratch Access that can be granted: - None confirmed yet Timeline: Within 1 month Budget range: Not decided yet Technical constraints or must-haves: - None noted Who needs to sign off: - Not noted Prepared with a free tool at godesigntech.com
Nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to send it. Bring the download to whoever you ask for a quote next, agency or freelancer, and the first call starts on scope instead of these questions.
Estimate done
Want the real number for your project?
An estimate works from typical scope. A quotation works from yours. Send this breakdown over and you get a fixed price back, from the person who would do the work, within one business day.
What this tool measures
Every agency and freelancer asks the same questions before they can quote: what exists already, who can grant access to it, what genuinely cannot change, when it has to be live, and who decides. Answering them once, in writing, is the single cheapest thing you can do to get comparable quotes.
It also changes what you get back. A supplier working from a written brief quotes the work; a supplier working from a conversation quotes a feeling, and pads it for the uncertainty you left in.
How to use it
Work through it in the order it is written, because that is roughly the order a scoping call goes in. Assets and access first, since those are the answers that most often turn out to be no.
Be specific in the constraints box. "Must stay on our current host" or "legal has to approve any copy" are the sentences that change an estimate most, and they are the ones people leave out because they feel like details.
Name the decision-maker even if it is you. A brief that cannot say who signs off is describing a project that will be scoped by whoever shouts last.
How to read the result
The output is a plain-text brief you can paste into an email or attach to an enquiry. It is deliberately not a specification: it says what you have, what you need and what constrains it, and leaves how to solve it to the people you are asking.
Send the identical brief to everyone you approach. The moment two suppliers are working from different information, their prices stop being comparable and the cheapest one is usually just the one who understood least.
Where you had to answer "not sure", leave it as not sure rather than guessing. Suppliers price unknowns, and a stated unknown is cheaper than a wrong certainty discovered in week three.
What to do next
Check access before you send it. Domain registrar, DNS, hosting, analytics and any current CMS: find out today who can log in, because "the previous developer has it" is a discovery worth making now rather than in launch week.
Then pair this brief with a cost estimate from one of the calculators here, so you approach suppliers knowing both what you want and roughly what it should cost.
Questions people ask
Is this a specification?
No, and deliberately. A specification says how to build it, which is what you are hiring someone for. This says what exists, what is needed and what cannot change.
Should I include my budget?
Yes, as a range. Withholding it does not get you a lower price, it gets you proposals aimed at the wrong scope and a second round of conversations to fix that.
What if I do not know the answers?
Then the brief has told you something useful for free. The unknowns it surfaces, especially around access and ownership, are the same ones that would have stalled the project in week three.
Is anything sent to you when I generate this?
No. The brief is built in your browser and downloaded from it. Nothing is transmitted unless you choose to send it to someone yourself.
