BRIEF BEFORE BUILD

Your digital brief—structured, reviewed, ready to build.

One place for brand, messaging, standards, trust discussion items, personas, and marketing intent—then an assigned consultant sharpens it with you before you hand off to a web team.
Heads-up: checklists surface accessibility and trust topics as discussion prompts—confirm outcomes with counsel and your web team. Preflight does not provide legal or compliance advice.

Less rework. Faster alignment. A brief that matches how you do business.

See sample output
Stop rediscovering what you already know

Hero copy, IA intent, SEO keywords, and policy discussion items—captured before build so your team ships instead of re-interviewing you.

Look as serious as you are

Sections, tables, and plain language suitable for RFPs, freelancer onboarding, or internal sign-off—not a wall of form fields.

A reviewer in the loop

An assigned consultant comments by section, discusses async, and requests targeted revisions within your plan—accountability, not a chatbot.

Who it's for

Teams that need clarity before the build

Same core workflow; different contexts—from solo founders to structured programs.

Founders & owners

New brand, new offer, or replatform—you need one artifact everyone aligns on.

Marketing & ops leads

You’re the internal owner for the site project and want discovery done once, properly.

Small business teams

Limited time; you want guided prompts, not a blank doc or fifty meandering meetings.

Programs & educators

Cohort-friendly roles are on the roadmap; reach out if you’re running a course or incubator.

Product

Everything in one guided flow

Essential → Core → Optional modules mirror a mature stakeholder brief—not a flat survey export.

Checklist-driven intake

Branding, hero, contact, standards, trust discussion items, personas, marketing, and more—with milestone and full submit gates.

Consultant workflow

Admin-assigned reviewers see only their clients. Per-module feedback, status, revision rounds, and async discussion.

Report preview & export

“At a glance” lead plus full brief. Markdown download today; PDF and share links fit the same pipeline.

Built for SMB reality

Autosave, milestone submit for early review, and optional modules behind opt-in or smart conditions.

Risk-aware framing

Accessibility and trust prompts are discussion checklists—aligned with counsel and your market, not product claims.

“We stopped thrashing in discovery once the brief lived in one structured doc. The handoff to our agency finally felt fair to both sides.”
