Choose the business and write the brief

Every client job starts here, and most bad client jobs go wrong here. Not in the code. In the conversation before the code: a price nobody agreed, a photo the owner didn't send, an opening time that changed last month, a "booking system" that meant something different to each of you.

The brief is how professionals avoid that. You learned it in Lesson 2.4 and used it for your own site in Lesson 3.1. This time you're writing it for someone else's business, which changes three things:

1. The facts aren't yours. Prices, hours, services, photos and the owner's phone number come from the owner, or, for an invented business, are clearly made up and labelled.
2. There's a back end to describe. The brief now says exactly what the form asks, what gets saved, who gets emailed, and what the owner does next. Cursor builds what the brief says, so a vague brief gives you a vague booking system.
3. You build first, then show. For a real business you don't ask before you start. You build a private demo, show it to the owner, and if they like it, they're your client. If not, you thank them, take it down and move on to the next business.
