The Website Design Planning template is a ready-made Storyflow board for mapping a website before you build it, with space for goals, sitemap, page layouts, visual references, and content notes.
About this template
This template gives you one canvas to think through a website end to end. Instead of scattering ideas across docs, browser tabs, and chat threads, you gather the project goals, audience, sitemap, page-by-page wireframe sketches, reference screenshots, and copy notes in a single place you can rearrange as the plan takes shape.
It is built for web designers, product and marketing teams, freelancers, and founders planning a new site or a redesign. Whether you are scoping a single landing page or a full multi-page site, the board keeps structure decisions, visual direction, and content requirements next to each other so nothing gets lost between kickoff and handoff.
On the board you will find labeled areas for the project brief and goals, a sitemap and page hierarchy, low-fidelity page layout blocks, a design-reference zone for screenshots and links, and a content checklist. Drop in images and URLs, write notes beside each section, and ask the AI assistant to read the active board and help you spot gaps or draft copy as you work.
