What is your primary objective with the site?

Firstly you need to decide what objective do you want to achieve with your website.

  • Establishing your credibility
  • Describing your products or services
  • Completing sales transactions
  • Offering customer service and support
  • Communicating company identity or branding

Look and Feel of the website

  • Have you seen any sites that you would like to model yours after? Or site designs to avoid?
  • What do you like about those sites?
  • What colors do you prefer for the site?
  • What image the site should convey?
  • Do you want your pages to be easily printable or do you want to offer PDF files of information rich pages?
  • Vertical or horizontal navigation bar preference?
  • Are you interested in animation files?
  • What questions are your customers constantly asking you?

Logo

  • Do you have a logo?
  • Do you have a digital copy of it?
  • Do you need a logo or would a stylized typeset of your company name be sufficient?
  • Do you have a tag line? How would you describe your business in one sentence to a family member?

Content of the Website

  • Do you have any existing written materials we can start from?
  • Do you have this information electronically?
  • What menu categories make sense for you?

Technical Issues

  • Have you registered a domain name?
  • Have you secured hosting?
