You will save time, money and create a better Internet presence by honestly and thoughtfully filling out this self assessment planning form & questionnaire. With the emailed report you get from completing this web-form, you will be well on your way towards having a plan, budget and strategy for creating a successful website.

So let's start with information about you and your company:

 << URL of your website
 << Name of your company
 << Your name
 << Your email address

What is the nature of your business? What industry do you serve?

What is the main product, service or information you offer? What do you want to be know for?

Are your products & services local, community, regional, worldwide,...?

Do you offer one, a few or lots and lots of different products and services?

 
What is your "point of departure"? What makes you stand out from the crowd? What makes you unique? Why would someone come to you instead of your competition?
Why should someone pick you instead of the competition?

 
What types of visitors do you want the site to attract? Who is your "target market"? What demographics? Male/female, young/teen/old, professional/casual, conservative/radical, athlete/couch potato, expert/clueless... Anything that can help build a profile of who we are trying to reach with your message. This can greatly affect the style, navigation and "look & feel" of your site.

You can create more effective and persuasive webpage copy by knowing your target audience, how and why your product or service is unique or better than the competition, and the sort of user interaction you want.

In the next section... we will ask about your website size, content, desired user experience and how to best structure your site.
