“We need a website” needs context: what should customers do, what works today, and what matters most? Collect the answers; let a person review the brief. Illustrated example with fictional details and prepared replies.

Choosing your first channel? Ask whether customers are already searching, need a demonstration or need reassurance. Then test one audience, one offer and one clear next action.

One typo should not erase the rest of an enquiry. Keep the answers, name the field that needs attention and explain the fix. Test one deliberate error on your mobile form.

What does someone still have to guess on your page? Our website exercise, prompted by Paul Graham’s early Airbnb account: find one doubt, show a specific answer, then test it with a real visitor. Source: paulgraham.com/ds.html

Five tools. You’re still the integration. Inbox → sheet → CRM → calendar → reminder. Ctrl+C is now a job title. Which two tools do you keep moving the same information between? Illustrative photo: Mizuno K / Pexels.

“Form submitted” is the start of the check. Find the saved row, the recipient and the next action. Our local demo also shows the status changing after acknowledgement. Where would you notice a failed notification in your real workflow? Local demo. Fictional data.

The ad says “website audit.” The page says “digital experiences.” The audit has apparently left the meeting. Open your ad and page together. Do their headlines and buttons still describe the same offer and next step? Illustrative photo: Sarah Chai / Pexels.

A familiar face opens the conversation. Does the page then explain the offer and the next action? Our reading of Mint’s Ryan Reynolds page: mintmobile.com/ryan-reynolds-…

Hour 12 of a “five-minute” task. Same name. Same email. Third spreadsheet. Coffee has been promoted to project manager. Which repeated hand-off would you remove first? Illustrative photo: Vitaly Gariev / Pexels.

A form → a saved table row → an owner → a follow-up task. Our working local demo carries the same details through, without retyping. A fixed rule handles this example. Which hand-off does your team still copy and paste?

Where does your funnel lose the thread? Before sending more traffic, test one enquiry from ad to reply. Check the offer, the mobile form, the owner and the next action. Which step would you fix first?
