Step 01 of 09
A strong website project starts with fewer unknowns. Your client portal keeps the brief, files, access, milestones, project tracking, approvals, and requests in one place before strategy or design work begins.
What this stage produces
We confirm who approves the work, where feedback belongs, and when decisions are due. The client portal gives you one place to follow tasks, review progress, approve work, find files, and keep project conversations together.
This matters because scattered feedback and unclear ownership create more delay than design or development itself.
Brand files, current website access, analytics, photography, legal requirements, integrations, and available copy are collected early. Missing items are turned into visible tasks with owners and dates.
If content or branding is incomplete, we decide whether it needs to be created, refined, or removed from the first release.
The output is not another presentation. It is a practical project brief that records the goal, scope, audience, constraints, responsibilities, milestones, and known risks.
That brief becomes the reference point for Discovery and every decision that follows.
