I always thought that the hardest part of creating a website is a process of design. But I was wrong.
We want to create an individual and useful website that’s aesthetically pleasing, but our highest priority should be to meet the needs of our client.
If We not properly use the knowledge gained from the very beginning from the client, the entire project will come falling down, along with our reputation.
Ask the customer what he really wants.
The trick is in asking the right questions guiding the search for their own, sometimes individual solutions and to conduct negotiations in both deadlines and salary. Looking for information outside of our heads we have the opportunity to go beyond the pattern known and not always working mechanisms.
Because every client is different, even in different, often unexpected circumstances, you will have the opportunity to present your offer to him, do not always have time and opportunities, in order to be prepared for this meeting, hence the few questions that you may help you save your professional image.
The technical details of developing, hosting, and maintaining a website or application can be easy one. However, the process of graphic design is always important. He can be boiled down to just three key tasks: discovery (meet customer needs, what he would like to focus on, what he do, but also try to learn as much as you can about their industry before the first meeting), analysis (all the information, products, and services and play around with how these should be arranged.), and implementation.
Because every client is different, even in different, often unexpected circumstances, you will have the opportunity to present your offer to him, do not always have time and opportunities, in order to be prepared for this meeting, hence the few questions that you may help you save your professional image.
Here are a few of the questions:
- What does the company do?
- What is your role in the company (manager, boss, secretary)?
- Does the company have an existing logo, brand or Company Identity?
- What is your goal in developing a website?
- What information do you wish to provide online?
- Who comprises your target audience (men/women/kids/age etc.)?
- Who are your competitors and whether you liked them websites?
- Do you have examples of good websites and why and which elements?
- What kind of timeline do you have for the project and what is the budget?
- What extent you will provide content for the website and photos?
Remember that it is better to ask more questions than less and suffer the customer for a few days asking the obvious questions for him.
