Copyable checklist

  • Current website URL and admin access
  • Business goals for the redesign
  • Pages that must stay, change, merge, or disappear
  • Brand files in editable formats
  • Website copy grouped by page
  • Product or service descriptions
  • Testimonials, case studies, and proof points
  • Team photos, office photos, and product images
  • Hosting, CMS, domain, analytics, and Search Console access
  • Competitor and inspiration links
  • Required integrations and tracking needs
  • Launch date, review process, and final approver

When to use it

Use this checklist before discovery calls, kickoff meetings, or first design concepts. It gives the client a clear picture of what the agency needs and gives the agency one place to track what is still missing.

Turn it into a portal

The static version is useful. A live Kicklayer portal adds progress tracking, file requirements, reminders, rejection notes, and a clean export when the client finishes.
