Just a few more questions

We’re almost done!  (this part might be the most important)

As you know, I hand build each and every one of the websites I am hired for.  Nothing is farmed out to others.

That said, I want to build a website that fits your needs and expectations.  I’ve found that the easiest way to start is to ask you a few simple questions. (yup, the 5 Ws and the H) Fill out the questions below and It will help me build the best possible website for you!

  • WHO  – as in, who do you want to attract to this site?
  • WHAT – as in, what are you going to do with this site?  Are you a blogger?  Take a bunch of photos?  Podcaster?  Vlogger?  In what format do you like to create content? Hint: It’s ok to use more than one.
  • WHERE – as in domain name.  Do you have a domain name?  Is it short, easy to spell, easy to remember?  Sometimes the answers to these other questions help you pick a domain name.  Have a hosting account?  You’ll need both but they don’t have to be at the same place.
  • WHEN – as in, when are you going update this site?  Are you a daily blogger?  Never blogger?  Once a week?  Take some time and think about this.  Do you need help creating an editorial calendar?
  • WHY – as in, that exactly.  Why do you want / need a site?  No really, I’m asking.
  • HOW – this is actually a multipart question
    • How do you expect to attract new people to your site?
    • How do you expect to keep them coming back?
    • How will you know if your site is meeting your goals?  What are those metrics / goals?

That’s it!  While this may seem silly and simple to you, it starts us on the right path to building a site that actually works for you. (that’s what you want isn’t it?)  If your last website builder didn’t ask you these questions – did they build the site you wanted, or the site they wanted?

  • (close your eyes and visualize the perfect client - got it? Now describe them. who they are, what they do, what they like and so on)
  • (as in posts, videos, pictures, even tweets)
  • (I can help you build an editorial calendar as well)
  • (I'm serious. Sites can serve as an online resume or business card, a place to disseminate information, lead generation machines or ad destinations or squeeze pages)
  • (as in google search results, ad campaigns, past or existing clients)
  • (have a newsletter? Facebook Page? Active on Twitter or other social media?)
  • (what metrics / goals can we use to determine this?)
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
