Project questionnaire

Hooray! If you have made it to this page, you have taken the first steps toward creating or redeveloping your website. Well done.

While this questionnaire may seem a bit long at first glance, I promise if you invest the time to thoughtfully answer these questions, you will have done a significant amount of the work necessary to create a website with focus and purpose. Considering these questions will help you clarify your goals for the site, your ideal clients, and the services you’d like to advertise or offer online.

A copy of this questionnaire will be mailed to you upon completion as well. Thank you!
