It would help me to know how you found me? Eg. through Google, Twitter or similar or someone referred you?

(This is where I would like you to be descriptive and detailed as I really need to understand to the best of my abilities, what I am designing for.)

(This is important. Please provide some background information so we can understand your reasons.)

Please list the type of people that need to be influenced by the logo when they see it. For example, who is the decision maker of the company, customers, investors etc. If possible, please indicate geography (local, regional, national, global) and demographic information (gender, age, income, profession).

Does this website need to compete with any existing similar businesses, companies etc? Or are you more of a unique business idea and there will be no major competition in terms of identity to really make a bigger or more stylish splash?

This includes: local, regional and/or worldwide. We absolutely need to know how your competitors position themselves before we can create a website for you. Please provide URL's of websites that you compete with, and comment on their strengths and weaknesses.).

Usually I require 2 to 4 weeks notice, but I may be able to help if you need something promptly. Please indicate how long you are happy to wait before commencing the project.

It may be easier to tell me the deadline for when you actually need the website completed by.

e.g. updatable news, multiple authors, comments, search, forum etc.

(What are their roles? Any experience administrating a site, using HTML, etc?)

(eg. through referrals from clients, networking, telesales etc?)

(Try a search on Google of the keywords that you would use to see what the rankings are?)

(Advertising through leaflets, on the radio, press or PR?)

(eg. Facebook, Twitter, Linked in etc?)
