Here are several things to consider as we prepare to develop a site for you. Keep in mind that this is written for companies but most of it is applicable to personal sites as well.  

Who Are You

• What does your organization do?
• What is your mission or vision?
• What products or services do you offer?
• What do you do that others don't?
• Why should someone use your services?
• What are your key messages?

Who is Your Audience

• Is it clients?
• Is it friends?
• Are you a money making venture or a not-for-profit organization?

What is Your Look

• Do you have a logo?
  • If so, is it available in digital format?
  • If not, should you have one?
• What do you like in a website? Show me some examples if you can.
• What do you dislike in a website? Show me some examples of this, too.
• Do you prefer horizontal or vertical navigational bars?
• Do you have special fonts or graphics that you want to use?
• Do you have permission to use those items?
• Do you have copy of material you want to include on the site?
• What do you want people to say about your site?

What makes You Different

• What makes you different from your competitors?
