A useful way through
- List the users and tasks, then the required page types. Include search, errors, language versions and confirmation screens where they matter.
- Write the behaviour for each interactive feature, including invalid input, empty results and service failure.
- Agree content ownership, accessibility expectations, hosting, security maintenance and handover deliverables. Keep credentials outside the brief.
- Ask each supplier to mark exclusions and third-party costs. Use the same acceptance checklist before launch and after deployment.

Put it into practice
A contact form specification should say where messages go, what visitors see after submission and what happens when delivery fails. “Add a contact form” does not establish those details.
Illustrative example, not a reported client project or test.
