Step 2 - YOUR OBJECTIVES

Why do you want a website (or want to upgrade your existing site?)

What do you hope to accomplish that you aren't accomplishing now?

As specifically as possible, list your objectives in a concise fashion:

Step 3 - COMMERCE

Will you be selling products on your website?* (If no, move on to Step 4)

Yes

If so, roughly, how many products will you be selling?

What forms of payment will you accept?

Do you already have a 'Merchant Account' set up (do you currently accept credit cards in your regular business)?

Yes

No

Step 4 - CONTENT

Not counting product catalog pages, how many content pages do you expect to have?

Can you please provide a very rough outline of your site? This will help us determine what kind of navigation system is required.

Step 5 - DESIGN

Do you have any specific design styles, colors or fonts in mind for your website?



Do you require Flash or any other animation? Please be specific as to the nature and purpose of the animation.



This is very important: please give us some URLs of sites that you like or want to model your site after. You can point out specific parts or aspects of the sites if you don't like the whole thing. (Note: If you don't know of any, please visit www.coolhomepages.com. There are many screenshots there that are easy to browse quickly.)*



Are there any sites that you don't particularly like?
