Author(s): Altaz Valani, Kyle Lubieniecki, Andrew Kum-Seun

The Website Design Document Template allows development teams to document design artifacts and ensure team members are on the same page regarding their design initiatives. This template includes areas to:

  • List the business objectives for the website
  • Document user experience (UX) issues
  • Brainstorm potential website user personas and their use cases, draw user workflows
  • Arrange wireframe diagrams into a storyboard
  • Draw a web system architecture of the website
  • Determine which metrics to use to measure the value of the website’s UX from both user and systems perspectives
  • Brainstorm and document key risks that may interrupt or derail the project, including mitigation tactics
  • Define roles and responsibilities on the UX development team
  • Estimate project costs and plan the rollout

Use this template in conjunction with the blueprint, Modernize Your Corporate Website to Drive Business Value.
