Visit with the Client - jpjohnsonjr/learning-notes GitHub Wiki

Basic Ideas

  • Most clients have NO IDEA what they want (when it comes to a website)
  • Bring website examples of similar businesses
  • Most clients will want to put a lot of information on the site -- they think everything is important. When everything is important, nothing is important. Encourage client to follow rule of less = more
  • Find a way for the client to INVEST in the project; client needs to feel that they have some skin in the game
  • Have client designate ONE PERSON responsible for decisions
  • Limit number of (free) revisions UPFRONT
  • Google "web development client questionnaire"
  • Involve others if needed
  • Get an idea of what the client has right now
