There are some basic questions you should have answered before we begin working on a website:

• Do you already have a site up? If not, do you already have a domain name (URL) and a host account assigned to your domain?
• For a new site, what are your navigation links or how many individual "pages" will you need on your site? For an existing site, what changes or additions do you want to make?
• What is the purpose of your site? What message do you want the viewer to come away with?
• Do you want to link your site up with other sites to create cross-promotion?
• Do you want to take control of updating the site after I design and upload it?
• Do you need to have frequent updates or changes to the content?
• It's all about the content. Write out your website content in Microsoft Word or a text program to create your basic text layouts. In Word you can even insert photos or artwork to get an idea of what you want on each page. Or print the pages from Word, cut out blocks of text from the printed pages and create a loose mock-up on separate individual sheets of paper. Cut out images from magazines or print your own photos/images from your computer and create a rough collage layout for each page. Email or bring these pages with you to our first meeting to begin the process.
