Praise for The Complete Website Planning Guide: A great, accessible and practical guide that you can quickly use to get better results from your next website build. Get to it!Would you build a house without blueprints and expect it to be perfect?That's how many people go about their web projects, with napkin drawings, spoken discussions, partly finished summaries and guides. They then wonder they don't complete it on time, it costs more than it should, and people aren't happy with it.You can be the architect of your next website project and avoid delays, scope creep, missing functionality and extra costs.In The Complete Website Planning Guide, you will learn how to easily create blueprints (a scope) for you or your client's website. It will solve many of the critical problems that occur in website development projects.After more than 20 years running a design and development agency, Darryl couldn't find a standard method that everyone could use to outline the project. Most briefs or planning methods either focus on general things like platform, hosting and general design guidelines. Many agencies or freelancers still fly by the seat of their pants using their experience to guide the project.So he wrote this guidebook as an instruction manual to create useful site plans without missing out essential requirements or needing to be overly technical.In this simple step-by-step guide he walks you through the process of establishing what the website really needs to do and shows you how to do it.Read this book before you pick a theme and try to wedge your needs into it, or you tell your designer to copy someone else's site. If you are a freelancer or agency developer, don't take on a client or quote a new project without helping them plan the site properly.Learn how to create a plan so you can avoid overruns, scope creep and lost money.This book is the very first step you need for your next web project. Download the free templates and resources and join the facebook group where you can get advice on working through your plan.You can also now buy the companion Workbook to use side by side with this book.What readers said:"If you are a business owner, read it, print out the templates and have these discussions with your designers. Trust me, even if you do only a few things in this guide, your outcome will be 100% better than if you just choose your site based on the pretty colours." Ed Pelgen"I am a freelancer and this is what i was looking for. Darryl has used his experience in laying out the problems faced by clients and freelancers and also given some templates and methods to follow before starting a new project" Amrinder Signh
