Your Website Project: Onboarding & Homework!

Hey - looks like we’re building you a website! That’s awesome!

There’s a few things we’re going to need from you, and we’ve outlined them below.

The process:

Okay, there’s a few things we’ll need from you. Here’s how it all works:

Firstly, if you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to fill in the initial self-audit form here.
Then, fill in the forms below with your website homework.

Thereafter, we’ll supply any additional requests when we’re working through the start of the project. We’ll then propose a website navigation menu structure or sitemap, for feedback and sign-off. And once that sitemap is agreed, we’ll send you one more piece of homework:

A list of the detail that the written copy should cover for each page of the website.

After that, we’ll send over our homepage design concept for feedback and sign-off, and once the homepage design is signed off, we’ll crack on with the rest of the site!

Homework:

Make sure your self-audit form is filled in first, then take a look at the questions below.

Business Name

Website Address

Your primary domain here.

Contact Email

Website Functionality

Please outline what functionality you require the website to have, especially if you're significantly changing functionality of an existing website.

Proposed Navigation Menu

Please note your proposed navigation menu structure - we'll propose our own nav menu, but this gives us an idea of how you see the overall site structure.

Creative Approach to Website

Please let us know any specific approach you wish us to take with the design or creative elements of the website.

Other Websites You Love

In each case, try and tell us specifically what you think you like about each example, if you know(!)

Written Copy Approach - SEO vs. Creative

Often when writing copy for websites, we face a direct conflict between SEO goals, vs. creative copy. It's really interesting to get a steer from you at this stage, to see where your priorities lie - so let us know by a percentage balance where you stand on this very generally speaking.

Project Deadlines and Expectations

I realise that the expected delivery timescales outlined are based on an expectation of swift feedback whenever work is presented to me. I recognise that feedback that takes longer than 72 hours from the time of submission will likely add additional time to the overall process. In the event that projects run on significantly, we reserve the right to levy additional admin fees.
