2. A Detailed Brief
   A brief is a document or email that outlines your requirements for the website. It should include information about your target audience, the type of content you want on the site, and any specific features you require. It does not have to be lengthy, just covering the things you need.
   
   
3. A Sitemap
   A sitemap is a visual representation of your website's structure. It shows the hierarchy of pages and how they link together. Providing your Web Designer with a sitemap will help them to understand how the site should be structured. It will also help you know what information needs to be provided.
