WEBSITE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Explore a website step by step while keeping research organized.

Start from selected pages, collect their content, and identify relevant links within an agreed website scope. Continue through a chosen number of link levels while keeping a clear record of visited pages and newly discovered references. Have a person check access, source terms, completeness, and reuse permissions before collected material is shared or used in public content.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A starting page and the permitted website area the team intends to review

“Collect content from selected pages and relevant links, with human review of access and reuse before external publication.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps research and content teams explore related pages without manually tracking every page they have already reviewed.

  1. Choose the starting pages and scope

    Identify the pages relevant to the research question and define which site areas or links are in bounds.

  2. Set a manageable exploration depth

    Choose how many layers of relevant links to review so the collection stays focused on the intended subject.

  3. Collect page content with source details

    Keep each page’s address and useful content together so reviewers can return to the original context.

  4. Identify relevant links for further review

    Record newly discovered links that match the agreed scope and make repeated or out-of-scope pages visible.

  5. Check access and permissions before reuse

    Have a person confirm site rules, content rights, privacy, accuracy, and intended audience before sharing or publishing collected material.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An organized set of page notes and discovered links within the chosen scope, ready for review and further research.

Keep in mind

Website content may be copyrighted, access-restricted, personal, or subject to site rules. Respect access controls and applicable terms, limit collection to an appropriate scope, avoid collecting unnecessary personal details, and require a human to verify permissions and approve any material before public or customer-facing use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define allowed sites and page areas

Choose the research scope and confirm that the team may access the selected content for its intended purpose.

Set link and depth boundaries

Specify which links are relevant and how far exploration should continue to avoid unnecessary collection.

Choose storage and access rules

Keep source references with collected material, limit access, and avoid retaining unnecessary personal or restricted content.

Assign content and rights reviewers

Name who checks site terms, accuracy, attribution, and reuse permissions before material is shared externally.
