When you fill in our website design questionnaire you will be giving us all the information we need to ensure you get the website you envision. These questions are the result of years of listening to what our clients want. Whether you want us to develop a new web site or re-design your present site, the clearer you are about what you are looking for the easier it will be for us to design. You may even find that this questionnaire will help you clarify what you actually want too! We are committed to providing only the highest quality web services to our customers around the world.

It is important to note that a successful website is dependant upon input from the decision-maker of your company. This survey will help articulate and identify the overall goals of the site, including specific questions regarding message, audience, content, look and feel, and functionality. Please answer each of the questions in a thorough but brief and clear manner, and add anyadditional notes or comments at the end of the survey.

Content Management System: Unless you are ordering a very basic website of no more than 5 pages, we will provide you with a Content Management System (CMS) so that you can change the content in your website any time. As soon as you make a change in the CMS it will appear in your website. This will save you time and money, and gives you complete control over your website without relying on a webmaster. We include a Free MySql database with each CMS, and we will design the database to work exclusively with your website.

Fields marked by an asterisk (*) are required fields.
