Start a project
Tell it badly. That is fine.
A rambling paragraph about the annoying thing you do by hand every week is more useful than a tidy specification. The questions come afterwards, and they are free.
What happens next
- A reply with questions, or with a fixed price and a date.
- A written scope list saying exactly what will be built.
- Half the fee books the time; the rest is due on delivery.
Optional, but it speeds things up
Build your brief here
Fill this in and it assembles a project brief you can copy or open straight in your email app. Nothing is sent from this page and nothing is stored — it is all happening in your browser, which is roughly how the things on this site tend to work.

Four things worth including
None of these are required. Each one removes a round trip, which means a faster quote and usually a cheaper one.
-
A real example, with real numbers
One actual case, worked through as you do it now. A worked example settles more questions than three paragraphs of description.
-
What happens today instead
A spreadsheet, a laminated card, a WhatsApp thread, forty minutes on the phone. Knowing what is being replaced usually reveals a simpler answer.
-
The deadline, if there is one
Especially for events. A date makes it obvious very quickly whether the job is possible, and whether it should be smaller.
-
Your budget, even roughly
It is not a haggling move. It decides which version of the idea gets quoted, and it stops both of us designing something you did not want to pay for.
