A dated account of what was found, what it means and what is worth checking next.
A clear direction for what the website needs to communicate and do.
Both starting points create a basis for deciding what,
if anything, should
follow.
If the website need is already clear, BeardMonkey does not require an Audit before discovery.
Knowing a website is needed does not yet establish what it should communicate, contain or do.
Recommendations follow from evidence, context and an understood need.
The starting point may differ, but the questions are straightforward.
Start with what has already been established.
Gather what is needed to understand the situation properly.
Make sense of what was found in the organisation’s real context.
Decide what matters, what can wait and what needs no attention.
No outcome is assumed in advance.
A dated account of an unclear digital situation, useful whether BeardMonkey does any later work or not.
Discovery establishes the direction before design and implementation begin.
Meaningful changes are re-checked over time when doing so would provide useful evidence.
