Identity

How would you describe your company/business in a few sentences? It would also be helpful to include a listing of keywords you associate with your business.

Who comprises your target audience? Please detail things such as breakdowns by age, sex, or a physical location.

What differentiates your company/business from your competitors? With that in mind, can you list your competitors? Please provide URL's, or contact details for us to begin our research.

Are there any “mythologies” or “perceptions” about your business that you hope to dispel or reshape through this project?

Current Website

What three words would you use to describe your current site?

What is it that you like about your current site or find to be the most successful?

What is it you dislike, or find to be the most challenging?

What do you think are the most successful elements of your homepage in drawing in users?

Imagine a typical prospective client browsing your current site. What would they be thinking?

New Website

Please identify three over-arching goals for your future website. Such as: market services, develop customer base, etc.

What’s the first thing you want visitors to know about your company/business when they visit your site?

Please list the names of 3-5 other sites (of any kind) that you like for their aesthetics or functionality. Why are they attractive to you? (These do not have to be competitor sites)

Are there specific competitor websites that you find successful? If so, please describe for each site the specific features that hold appeal. For example: use of photography, exemplary design, ease in navigating, etc.

Please let us know if there are any sites that you do not like. What is it that you dislike or feel is not effective?

Is there a new site plan in place or in development? (Even if it’s on a napkin!) Or is it the expectation that a revised site plan will emerge from this Discovery process?

Are there current internal systems used for managing work and client information that we should be made aware of? Are there plans for new systems?

Are there social media strategies in place for your company/business? If so, please provide us with identities. If not, is the intent to launch such a strategy concurrently with the launch of the new website?

Overall Website Tone

In addition to your responses to the above questions, we will need the following materials in order to successfully complete the discovery phase:

An inventory of any existing style guide, color palette/pantone colors, logo files and guidelines and supporting fonts.
Any video and/or photography.
Any new copy that you want to add to the new website (if available).
Login information to your existing website (if available)
