Website
Don't have a website at all yet? We'll talk about what you need to do to get the ball rolling.
We're going to look at four aspects of this project:
style, branding, scope, and scheduling.
STYLE
In general, how would you like your website to look?
Clean and open
Textured and artsy
Professional and businesslike
Sleek and modern

BRANDING
What type of site will this be?
*
Small business
Writer, blogger, artist, or other creative professional
Faith community or other organization
Briefly describe your company
What is it about you and your work that sets you apart?
Describe your target audience, potential readers/customers - income, interests, age, gender, how they access your site.
If you were using a search engine to find a site like yours, what would you search for?
Why should people do business with you, rather than with a competitor?
Briefly describe your focus:
*
If you're a blogger or writer, what are your main topics? If you're another type of creative professional, what media do you work in, and what themes do you explore?

Briefly describe your organization or faith community.
Describe your target audience, potential readers/customers - income, interests, age, gender, how they access your site.
If you were using a search engine to find a site like yours, what would you search for?
Are you currently a registered nonprofit organization?
*
Yes
No
SCOPE
How do you plan to promote your site outside of search engine traffic?
How many pages will the new site include?
*
Note - for the purpose of this survey, a blog is a separate component of a site, rather than a page itself.
3-7 pages
8-12 pages
13-20 pages
Extensive project with a large number of pages
Will your site include a blog?
*
Yes
No
Not sure if I need one or not
Do you need a logo and/or header design?
*
Yes
No
Would you like for the site to be mobile-responsive?
*
A mobile-responsive site "reshapes" itself depending on the type of device being used to visit it - a desktop machine, tablet, smartphone, etc. This requires additional coding and would increase the cost of the project; if you're not sure whether you'd like this feature or not, we'll talk over why it may or may not be a good enhancement for your site.
Yes
No
Not really sure
Have you made arrangements for hosting your site?
*
You can
learn more about my hosting rates for clients on my FAQs page.
Yes, I already have a web host
No, and I am interested in having you host my site
No, and I would like help in setting up hosting elsewhere
Would you like to sell products via your site?
*
Yes, I need a full e-commerce solution to sell multiple products
Yes, but just a couple of items
No
Are you already set up to accept credit card payments online?
Yes
No
Other services:
What other services would you be interested in beyond a basic website? Click any that apply - this isn't a commitment, just a way for you to consider all of your needs and for me to give you an accurate quote.
Install tracking software such as Google Analytics to show you what brings visitors to your site
Migrate a blog from Blogger to WordPress
Set up an email newsletter or automatic "get updates by email" process
Schedule the site to make periodic backups to your Dropbox account
Forms beyond a basic Contact form
Ability to sell ads via the site
Event calendar
Membership site with restricted access or special content for those who join
Setting up a Facebook Page to publicize the website, or customizing an existing Facebook page
Setting up a Twitter account to publicize the website, or customizing an existing account with a custom background and images
Other services
Nah, I'm good with just a website.
SCHEDULING
What is your deadline for this project?
*
Most projects start 3-5 weeks after I have received your deposit and we've signed our contract; earlier is possible depending on my schedule, your budget, and whether you already have your content ready for the site.
2-3 weeks
1-2 months
3+ months
Is your final copy ready for the site?
*
If you're a blogger, you'll always be producing new copy so this may not be relevant to you except for an "About" page or something similar. If you are a small business, faith community, other organziation, etc., having your copy finalized is key to completing this project in a timely fashion. I do offer
copywriting as a separate service.
Yes
