Hello Edmund

Edmund:                Hey Darryl how are you? This one is gonna be very close to your heart I'm sure

Darryl:                    It is it is okay so a couple of weeks ago three weeks ago oh look at that look what have you got there on the video show

Edmund:                I'm holding up called the complete website planning guide by author Darryl King

Darryl:                    well there we go okay two things we talked about in our Wordpress theme issue that people choose a theme and then try to wedge is what they want into it and I mentioned back then that if they had a better idea about what they wanted they might choose a theme that works for them and this whole topic comes from all years of building stuff one of the biggest problems you try to solve is how to make a project run well how to be able to quote something really well and how to make sure that their client gets what they're expecting and so that that's where their book eventually came from all the problems that went with running design development getting briefs and things going but coming all the way around to looking at it from the client perspective so you the business owner you the marketing person about what is the plan for a website so just for clarity you could call it a scope you can call it a brief you can call it planning call what you like it's a blueprint about what you're trying to do when looking at building the website or improving a website

Edmund:                yeah and

Darryl:                    and that’s (…1:49) so some could call it a brief some could call it a scope plan is simple it's a plan I think its super important but (…1:59)

Edmund:                yeah I mean absolutely and I think that the important thing to recognize here is that what you're talking about at the end of the day is just to spend some time thinking about it spend some time thinking about the website properly and not having it as an afterthought thinking oh we just need to have the website just copy this do that just get it up whatever it is let's think about how we can make this the best possible website

Darryl:                    Yeah, you know when you're an accountant you know or a coach or whatever you talk to business owners and executives about business plans and marketing plans or all of these plans people do and you know that they run their businesses by and strategies and implementation plans and you're one of the most vocal assets of marketing and of business support services and everything in a digital age and an information age it's a website and yet people rock up with the pre fest of brief summaries or some of the things I've heard like I just copy that site or

Edmund:                mm-hmm

Darryl:                    you know I don't really want a lot of content people don't read comments so all these assumptions and ideas that they turn up with and go I just need a new website

Edmund:                so if we're telling people that they need a website plan why don't you tell us or give us some insight into what should be included in the website plan what is actually in it because some people have no idea
