What Kind Of Web Design Package Are You Looking For?
Try to explain to us what kind of website and features you desire.
Do You Have a Web Design Budget?
That is right. We need to know that what you desire matches any budget you have in mind for the project. You should plan some kind of budget, the web design is really only one aspect of a website’s success. Some of your budgets could potentially go towards development like SEO, and marketing, or not you may have a separate budget for this.
Do You Have a Set Deadline?
As a select digital agency we plan and book our time specifically and in advance — although most CMS web design can be accomplished within weeks, large-scale projects may take longer. If a deadline is simply not achievable its be best to identify this immediately.
Do You Require a Brand Design?
Many businesses start without a brand concept or a logo and therefore require such a part of the project. We incorporate brand design with logo design however they are separate from the needs of a web design. As there are important aspects and applications to consider beyond the scope of use on a website. A Brand design will, therefore, be designed first if required.
Useful side note on style guides or brand guidelines
Style Guides or Brand guidelines as some call them, lay down your vision of how you want your brand to be applied and maintained. This includes logos, website design, or anything that requires styling really. These guides are especially useful when you have more than one person involved in signing off each stage of your brand design work.
Our Branding packages will save time and future confusion whilst keeping your company image at its best. This can be supplied to any designers in the future as a reference point to work from and ensure your requests are met.
Do You Know What Pages You Want On Your Website?
Formerly known as a site map. Typically Website will start with a home page, about, services and contact as a baseline. It helps us when you have some idea of what pages you think you will need and the elements you expect to see.
Will You Require a Content Management System?
We recommend that all sites have a content management system, so the clients can update the content themselves. For example, if you are looking to sell online you will need some kind of e-commerce solution, or if you want to build interaction with an audience via social marketing, then a blog is a basic requirement on a website. Premium plugin functions/modules can be included with the project however sometimes specialised plugins are required to obtain certain functionality. Plugin fees or subscriptions can be included as part of an ongoing website maintenance contract to make it easy and hassle-free.
Do You Already Have Any Kind of Web Presence?
Whether you have a landing page or a full existing website already (especially if you are looking to update or redevelop a site), the implications of already having a site will affect the decisions made on the next stage of development.
Hosting and a Domain Name
Allow us to make this simple for you and deal with your hosting and domain name requirements. We’ll work with you to guide you through the process and make sure everything is set up correctly in your name.
Are You the Sole Decision Maker / Point of Contact?
Here at Interweb Dynamics we are very well organised and autonomous at our work and will require a single point of approval contact to keep the project running smoothly and in good communication.
Can You Supply Digital Format Resources / Background Material?
We can take the lead with our Content services however if you wish to provide us then this would include items such as logo and branding material (perhaps brand guidelines) and also a brief/spec/background. It is also useful to have any content and images.
Can You Supply Any Online Points of Reference?
Perhaps other websites you like the look, feel, functionality, features of, etc. If you don’t have any at this time, I would recommend checking out our work portfolio of the latest websites as a starting point for inspiration and research.
