This is how we plan your web design project.
Here are the questions we'll go over at the consultation. They will help you organize your thoughts and focus on what you would like your website to achieve. These questions are here for you to print out and go over at your leisure.
1. What is your main objective for your site? (1 or 2 sentences)
2. List some additional objectives for your site.
3. Describe your audience and how they will be accessing your site.
4. List the addresses (URLs) of sites you have found that offer the type of information you want to create on
your site(content & features).
5. List the addresses (URLs) of sites you have found that have a visual look and feel you admire (Think graphic style).
6. List five adjectives you would like your site to express (Example: sophisticated, easy, informed).
7. What is your desired deadline for having your site available publicly?
8. How should the following site constraints limit and control your site design and functionality?
Download time
• We will sacrifice design and features in favor of speed.

Use of plug-ins (Many multimedia features require small, free helper
programs installed to the browser to view the media).
• Our audience will most likely NOT have the plug-ins installed, and we don't want them to leave
the site to get them.
• Our audience will most likely NOT have the plug-ins installed, but we feel the media has enough value to
warrant the user getting the plug-in.
