Now let's talk about how you want your website to work.
Usability testing is a frequently overlooked step in web site design and development. Just as companies will put new products through focus groups as part of the Research & Development process, a web site should be put through at least a basic round of usability testing to determine how well the design and build works in practice.

17. Usability & User Experience(required)
If you’re interested in developing a persona or having us perform user research as part of the development process, tell us here. If not, you will still need to tell us about your audience. If you have relevant statistics about the demographics of your current web site visitors, refer to them here. If you have a specific flow you would like your visitors to follow, run through it with us.

18. Website Functionality(required)
In layman’s terms, this section asks the question, “What do you want your website to DO?” We need you outline the features and functionality you’ll be wanting to see on your site (this could be things like a secure members area, contact forms, file upload functions, database development to store lead info, content management system to edit your own content, custom admin area, newsletter opt-in form, blogs, news sections, discussion forums, FAQ or knowledgebase, or e-commerce to sell products).

Great Work! Now it's time to talk budget.

This is another item that a lot of people skip over. We understand that you want to get as much as you can for as little as possible (it’s human nature), and we also understand that a small proportion of unscrupulous designers will pad their quotes to max out your budget. We’re not in that group, and we don’t play that game.

Be honest about what you can afford, and we’ll be honest and respectful about what we can give you within those parameters. Even if your budget is a little lacking, there are usually compromises that can be made here and there to accommodate you.

If you don’t have a budget set at all, then you’re not ready to be undergoing this step – your business plan should already include budgets for marketing and corporate identity development.

19. How much do you plan to invest in this project?
Choose an approximate budget range. Please keep in mind, you will be billed in US Dollars a. $3k - 6k  b. $6k - 10k  c. $15k-20k  d. 20k - 30k  e. $30k+ 

That wasn't so bad, was it? Now let's find out when you want this project to be complete.

20. What is your estimated expected timeline of completion?
This is an easy one – if you have a rough date by which you’d like the project done, let us know here. Similarly, if you have specific deadlines, we’ll need to know those as well. Remember, most designers will charge a premium for rush jobs – you’re bumping other paying clients out of queue when you request priority status. a. 1-3 monhts  b. 3-6 monhts  c. 6-9 months
