Website Planning Consultation Needed

I’m ready to get a new website off the ground but I need expert guidance before any code is written. Right now I only know I want “a website” and that’s where your experience comes in—help me clarify the site’s purpose, structure, tech stack, and the roadmap that will turn an idea into something launch-ready.

What I’m looking for from you is a short discovery process that ends with clear, practical recommendations I can confidently move forward with. After a video call (or two, if needed) I expect a concise strategy document that covers:

• A recommended site type (e-commerce, portfolio, blog, or hybrid) and the reasoning behind it
• Target-audience definition and key user journeys
• Suggested platforms or frameworks (for example, WordPress, Shopify, custom React) and hosting options
• A basic sitemap, feature list, and any third-party integrations worth considering
• Rough timelines and phased milestones so I understand what happens first and what can wait

If you’re comfortable translating vague ideas into an actionable plan—complete with plain-English explanations, not just technical jargon—let’s talk. I’ll come prepared with my goals and questions; you bring the expertise to fill in the gaps and set the project up for success.
