have you worked with in the past?
Is there other in-house documentation
to help us with content and style?
What media do you currently employ?
Note: Once your web site goes "live",
remember to include your web site address on all communications,
advertising and publishing. You should consider updating your
business cards and stationary as soon as possible. These media
will help drive traffic to your web site.
content
development
Content is the most important, so
before we build our image we must build our content, and let the
image cater to that. We build our content through scenarios which
are short, detailed, fictional stories describing a typical visitor
to your web site, the challenges they face and the information
they need to be persuaded to buy your firm's product or service.
Instead of creating a myopic "brag and boast" site that
only emphasizes the firm's accomplishments, you should present
your message from your visitors' perspective. Think about the
purpose of your web site or why it is needed. The more details
you provide, the better.
Describe your company services and/or what your business is all
about:
Describe your clientele/web audience
(include demographics, user's internet connection, etc.):

audience faces:
A successful solution that only
your company can provide to your audience (a call to action &
how to present information that will leave a lasting impression):
Do you need a web copy editor
to supply your web site with professional content?
Who do you want to maintain/edit your website once your site goes "live"?
Please indicate any additional
features needed to pique interest and close the deal:
sitemap
Layout your web site pages with
approximate titles for each page (to the best of your knowledge):

What information do you want to display in the footer of every page? (address, disclaimer, copyright, or privacy statement)
logo/images/style
Do you have a logo that can be used
for the website?
We strongly suggest incorporating
quality images in your web site.
If no, how much are you willing to spend on stock photography?
(typically costs can be anywhere from $1 - $50/image to $500/CD of
100 images) Recommend searching at www.istockphoto.com
