Overview

Use this skill to treat a website as a business investment, not a generic online presence. It helps business plans explain what the website will do, why the chosen approach fits the business, how it will be built and operated, and what costs must be included in financial projections.

Use When

• A business plan includes a website, online store, booking site, content hub, landing pages, portal, web app, or SEO-driven customer acquisition.
• The plan needs to explain website design philosophy, tech stack, website operations, content/SEO, launch, maintenance, or realistic costing.
• The business sells website design/development services and needs productised service tiers, pricing logic, delivery capacity, and margins.
• Website spend appears in startup costs, capex, marketing budget, software subscriptions, or implementation roadmap.

Do Not Use When

• The business has no material website, digital presence, ecommerce, online marketing, or technology investment.
• A one-line "we will have a website" statement is enough for a very small, non-digital plan.
