Project brief builder

A clear brief gets you better questions, faster answers and more useful proposals from any development partner. Fill in what you know, skip what you do not, and get a structured brief you can edit, copy or send to us.

Private by design: what you type stays in your browser. It is passed to our enquiry form only if you choose that option.

Without it, email us what you have in mind — the goal, who will use it and any deadline are enough to start.

What makes a brief useful

A goal, not a solution. “Customers should be able to book without phoning us” is easier to design for than “we need an app”.
The people involved. Who uses it, who approves things and who supports it afterwards.
The first release. The two or three things it must do on day one; everything else can wait.
What already exists. The tools and data it has to live alongside.
Constraints. Deadlines, regulations, languages and anything that cannot change.

Please leave out passwords, confidential documents and sensitive personal data. A brief never needs them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a project brief, and why does it help?

A brief is a short written description of what you want to achieve, for whom and within what limits. It lets a development team ask sharper questions, spot risks early and give you a proposal that fits your situation.

Do I need to answer every question?

No. Only the goal is required. Anything you skip appears as “Not specified”, and a good first conversation will fill the gaps.

Do I have to send the brief to Aixo Lab?

No. Copy it and use it with any supplier. If you would like to talk to us, you can add it to the enquiry form, or email it directly.

Is anything I type stored or sent?

No. The brief is created in your browser. It leaves the page only when you click to add it to the enquiry form or to email it, and even then you decide when to send.

How detailed should the brief be?

One page is usually enough. Clear and short beats long and vague. You can always add detail as the conversation progresses.

Can I change the brief after it is created?

Yes. The text appears in an editable box, and you can go back and change your answers at any time.

Already know what you need?

Skip the tools and tell us directly. A few sentences are enough to start.
