Why write specifications for your website?

A website without specifications is like building a house without a plan. You're flying blind, wasting time, forgetting key elements... and the result is rarely up to scratch.
Website specifications are an essential framework document: they formalize your objectives, needs, constraints, and vision for the project.

It is the cornerstone of any structured digital project. It guides your choices, aligns your teams, directs your partners, and secures your investments.
Far from being an administrative document, the specifications are a strategic tool, a compass that ensures consistency between your vision, your resources, and your deliverables.

What good web specifications enable

A well-structured specification saves time, increases efficiency, and provides peace of mind.
It helps you to:

  • clearly define the scope of the project
  • anticipate technical and functional needs
  • align priorities among your internal teams
  • supervise the work of your service providers
  • control your budget and deadlines.

This is the reference document on which all decisions are based: content, UX, design, development, testing, and launch.
Good specifications guarantee better project management and a more effective website.

Good specifications are not just a simple list of pages.

Writing specifications is not just about writing a list of features or pages to be included. It must also set out the strategic framework: who are your users? What are your business objectives? What is your value proposition? How do your user journeys fit together ?

A good framework document aligns your ambitions with your reality: your targets, your budget, your schedule.
It incorporates performance and user experience considerations, becoming a decision-making tool throughout the project.

It must also remain scalable: overly rigid specifications hinder agility. The goal is to provide a clear but flexible framework that allows for necessary adjustments without losing sight of the big picture.

Align teams and increase efficiency

Website specifications are also a powerful tool for internal alignment.
They bring together the marketing, communications, product, technical, and sales departments around a shared vision.
By formalizing requirements, they streamline communication and limit misunderstandings between stakeholders.

It is also a valuable tool for communicating with your service providers.

A well-structured document facilitates mutual understanding, speeds up the quotation phase, reduces ambiguities, and improves the quality of proposals.

It becomes a concrete management tool: it allows you to measure the progress of the project, prioritize deliverables, and secure production.

Anticipate the strategy from the outset

Good specifications are not limited to technical requirements. They must also incorporate your strategic and marketing vision. Elements such as communication strategy, brand positioning, lead management, and acquisition strategy naturally have their place here .

Now is the time to align your future website with your business ambitions.
Would you like to improve your SEO? Generate more leads? Better tell your brand story?
These intentions must be visible from the moment the document is drafted to guide the design, content, and hierarchy of the pages.

A well-written specification is therefore not limited to "what you want to do," but also explains "why you are doing it."

The keys to successful digital specifications

To maximize its effectiveness, your specifications must be clear, structured, and prioritized.
Here are the essential elements to include:

  • Presentation of the project and its context: why this project, what are the challenges, who are the decision-makers.
  • Strategic objectives and associated KPIs: what the future site should enable (conversion, brand awareness, customer loyalty, internal efficiency).
  • Description of users and key journeys: better understanding needs, uses, and behaviors.
  • Tree structure, features, and technical requirements: CMS, integrations, security, hosting.
  • Editorial and UX guidelines: tone, messages, visual consistency.
  • Planning and indicative budget: anticipate priorities and avoid unpleasant surprises.

This information structures the dialogue with your service providers, clarifies expectations, and allows for better comparison between the proposals received.

Mistakes to avoid when drawing up specifications

Many projects fail not because of a lack of resources, but because of a lack of structure.
Here are the most common mistakes:

  • copy a generic template without customization;
  • forgetting to involve internal teams;
  • neglect user analysis;
  • ignore the actual technical constraints;
  • ignoring SEO and UX aspects from the outset.

Good support helps you avoid these pitfalls and save valuable time.
At La Boucle, we help companies structure, prioritize, and draft their specifications in a pragmatic and efficient manner, so that every dollar invested has a measurable impact.
