About
The Website Design mind map template provides a structured 100-node framework for planning and executing a complete website project, from initial research through ongoing maintenance. It covers seven major phases: Information Gathering, Planning, Design, Development, Testing, Delivery, and Maintenance. Key nodes include 'SWOT Analysis' with strengths like 'High quality facilities offered' and 'Responsive support', and 'Target Audience' segments such as 'Sportsman', 'Corporate', and 'Public'. This template serves as a comprehensive project checklist for web designers, project managers, and business owners. It integrates business strategy with technical execution, making it suitable for both agency and in-house teams. The layout organizes each phase as a main branch, with detailed sub-nodes for tasks like 'Budget' (including 'Hosting domain fees' and 'Labour costs') and 'Layout' (covering 'Font', 'Size', and 'Navigation').
