Website Requirements

Website requirements describe what a website must accomplish and what it needs to include. They may cover the intended audience, key pages, content, forms, design constraints, integrations, performance expectations, and accessibility needs. A handyman business could specify that visitors must be able to view repair services, check service areas, and submit a quote request on a phone. Some requirements are essential; others are preferences that can wait. Writing them down gives the business owner and designer a shared reference for scope and review. A content brief guides a particular piece of writing, while website requirements address the wider project and how it should function.
