PURPOSE
An editable planning worksheet, not a client case study, proposal or performance forecast.

MARKET CONTEXT
Ann Arbor is recorded in Washtenaw, Michigan, United States. This place reference identifies the location; it does not define a business’s service area.
Define Ann Arbor coverage separately from the wider Washtenaw area. A place record is a reference point, not an advertising radius or a promise of service.

Local scheduling reference: America/Detroit. Confirm dates and working availability.

Qualified customer action: ____________________
Approver, delivery owner and review date: ____________________

SERVICE SCOPE REVIEW
A familiar CMS and a custom-coded site can both be appropriate, depending on the requirements. List who changes content, how often updates occur and which workflows need integration. Compare the options against those tasks and the support resources available after launch.
Custom backend features need more than a design description. Specify inputs, permissions, external dependencies and what a successful operation looks like. Keep content ownership, recurring costs and handover requirements visible so the organisation can run the site reliably.

List editing tasks
Identify the content staff need to change and the approval process. Confirm the required editor access and training.

Define integration behaviour
Describe how connected systems exchange information and who maintains them. Include failure handling in the acceptance checks.

Agree ownership and upkeep
Document domain, hosting, code and account access. Specify updates, support and recurring charges before approval.

BUYER QUESTIONS
Is a custom-coded site better than a CMS website?
It depends on the customer and staff requirements. Compare editing, integrations, performance needs and maintenance capacity. The proposal should justify the choice using those requirements rather than a platform preference.

What should handover include?
Include required account access, editing guidance, dependencies and support responsibilities. For custom functionality, document how it works and who can maintain it when connected systems change.

FIRST DECISION
Choose the visitor's primary task—booking, requesting a quote or buying—before approving the page layout.

INPUTS
[ ] Existing URLs, content and brand assets
[ ] Required forms, booking tools, integrations and content owners
[ ] Coverage rules and the person responsible for each enquiry type

DELIVERABLES AND ACCEPTANCE
1. Plan the page roles
Map the offer, supporting information and conversion destination. Keep useful existing URLs or document a redirect decision for each change.
Acceptance: The sitemap explains what each page helps a visitor do and where old URLs will lead.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

2. Prototype the local journey
Make supported areas and service choices readable before the enquiry action. Design missing-field, unsupported-area and successful submission states.
Acceptance: A narrow-screen visitor can identify the right service, correct an error and understand the confirmation.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

3. Release with ownership
Check forms, key integrations, keyboard access and representative-device performance. Record account, content and maintenance ownership.
Acceptance: The agreed journeys pass, critical defects are resolved and the business receives a documented handoff.
Owner / evidence / status: ____________________

PLANNING EXERCISE
A hypothetical customer selects a service and an area the business cannot support. The prototype should explain that limitation before a full enquiry is collected and provide the approved alternative path.
Test one supported request from Ann Arbor and one excluded-area request. Record expected and observed responses.
This exercise is hypothetical; it is not evidence of local client work.

MEASUREMENT
Compare form errors, completed journeys and qualified outcomes alongside traffic sources. A visual redesign alone does not prove a revenue improvement.

SCOPE LIMITS
Custom integrations, copy production, hosting and maintenance are included only when stated in the proposal.
