Collect web design requirements automatically

The technical web design brief

A web design project brief is a technical roadmap. It must define the sitemap structure, hosting environment, CMS preferences, and third-party integrations. Intakly captures these specific technical necessities alongside the visual requirements.

Pain points

• Clients forgetting to provide hosting access
• Confusion over the number of pages (sitemap)
• Missing brand assets (logos, fonts) delaying launch

How Intakly helps

• Automated collection of sitemaps and content
• Secure capture of hosting and DNS credentials
• Checklist for all necessary brand assets

Who this is for

• Web Design Agencies
• Freelance Designers
• Dev Studios

FAQ

• Does it ask about mobile responsiveness? Yes, it covers responsive breakpoints and mobile-first requirements.
• Can I ask for reference sites? Yes, clients can provide URLs of sites they like for design inspiration.
• Is this only for agencies? No. Freelancers and solo designers can also use AI-powered briefs.

What this use case is

This use case is for web design teams that want every new project to start with a complete, realistic picture of what needs to be built. Instead of discovering missing assets and constraints mid-project, you collect them through a structured intake.

How AI Intake Forms helps

AI reads each project brief and surfaces the essentials: sitemap complexity, technical stack, content readiness, and brand guidelines. It flags risks like missing copy, unclear hosting, or heavy integrations so you can push for clarity before design work begins.

Key benefits

• Fewer delays caused by missing access or assets
• Clearer estimates based on scope, not guesswork
• A single brief that designers, developers, and clients can all understand

Example workflow

1. You send the web design project brief form after a proposal is accepted.
2. Clients outline structure, integrations, content sources, and visual direction.
3. AI creates a summary and checklist of what is ready and what is missing.
4. Your team reviews the summary, asks targeted follow-up questions, and finalizes scope.
5. The brief stays as the living reference point throughout design and build.
