About Before You Start

Good advice.
Before the commitment.

The brief. The supplier. The budget. Big decisions deserve an independent view while there’s still time to shape them.

Experience on your side

Lee Woodman.

Founder of Before You Start
and Visit Digital.

15+ years in digital strategy

Experienced thinking.
Brought into the decision earlier.

Through Visit Digital, Lee has worked alongside businesses on ecommerce, search, analytics, website migrations and digital growth.

Before You Start brings that experience forward: helping you question the brief, the proposal or the next move before the supplier is appointed and the budget is committed.

Independent by design

The right advice can take
you in a different direction.

We start with what your business needs. The answer doesn’t have to be a new website, a different platform or a bigger project.

  • Proceed with confidence.

    Know why the proposed approach fits the outcome you need.

  • Change direction.

    Challenge the assumptions while there’s still room to choose.

  • Spend less.

    Focus the scope on what matters to your business.

  • Pause for now.

    Sometimes the strongest decision is to wait, or do nothing.

One decision is enough to start

What are you
about to commit to?

Bring your plans, a proposal or the question you keep coming back to.
