When starting or planning for a new design project, there's a few things you can do that will help your designer better understand your needs and objectives.

A little planning can go a long way and below are few suggestions that should help when preparing for a new project.

Initial Planning

Take some time in the beginning to think about what you want in terms of style. Write down your thoughts or suggestions so you can reference them later. Gather a few links to other websites that are similar to the style you'd like to have for your website. Determine what features you want your new website to offer such as, e-commerce, subscriber based newsletter, blog, online calendar, customer login area, photo gallery, video, music, etc...   Try to determine what areas or sections you would like your new website to have, such as... Home, About Us, Customer Info, Store, Gallery, Links etc...

Meeting with your designer

When meeting with your designer, feel free to bring any artwork, graphics (such as existing logos) and photos that you wish to use on your new site. Ask us any questions you might have. We don't believe in stupid questions.

Starting the project

When providing us with existing graphics (such as a logo), try to save everything on CD, DVD or in a digital format like a ZIP file so it can be easily accessed. Unless you've hired us to be your voice as well, try to provide all text in Open Office, Word or plain text files. To ensure that we meet your timetable, please be ready to answer any questions we might have during the design process.

Our goal is to see your vision, chip away the rough edges and produce an end product that exceeds your dreams and expectations.
