    Web DESIGN \/ Web Re-DESIGN QUESTIONS – in more detail<\/strong>
    \n[written for developer\/designer viewpoint<\/span> \u2013 so read appropriately]<\/p>\n

    A.<\/p>\n

    Here are a few of the questions I like to ask in initial client meetings, even if I\u2019ve already established\u00a0the answer myself via a search engine:<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What does the company do?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What is your role in the company?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 Does the company have an existing logo or brand? What is your goal in developing a website?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What information do you wish to provide online?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 Who comprises your target audience? Do its members share any common demographics, like age, sex, or physical location?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 Who are your competitors and do they have websites?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 Do you have examples of websites you like or dislike?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What kind of timeline do you have for the project and what is the budget?<\/p>\n

    If the project is to redesign<\/span> an existing website, I also like to ask:<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What are your visitors usually looking for when they come to your site?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What are the problems with your current design?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 What do you hope to achieve with a redesign?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 Are there any elements of the current site that you want to keep?<\/p>\n

    \u25a0 How do you think your visitors will react to a new site design?<\/p>\n

    B.<\/p>\n

    This is a rough list that can serve you well in any project. We\u2019ll call it our \u201cNeed to Know List.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Who is the intended audience?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u25a0 What is their age group and demographic?<\/p>\n

        \u25a0 Are there color or design guidelines?<\/p>\n

        \u25a0 How closely do we need to stick with the brand\u2019s identity?<\/p>\n

        1. What is the site\u2019s intended purpose?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u25a0 Are there marketing goals?<\/p>\n

          \u25a0 Is the client trying to sell a product or service?<\/p>\n

          \u25a0 What are some of the goals that the client hopes to achieve with the site?<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. What is the site\u2019s content?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u25a0 How much content will be on the site?<\/p>\n

            \u25a0 Will the content constantly change or will it be relatively static?<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. What additional restrictions are placed on the project?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u25a0 Does the site form part of a larger campaign?<\/p>\n

              \u25a0 Does the site need to work in conjunction with other media like print or film?<\/p>\n

                \n

                  \n
                1. What is the project budget?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \u25a0 Is the amount the client wants to spend realistic for the project\u2019s requirements?<\/p>\n

                    This list is by no means complete. It serves as a basic starting point for communication between you and the client. You\u2019ll probably never be able to anticipate all the questions that need answering for a project, but this is a good place to begin.<\/p>\n

                    C.<\/p>\n

                    The Bottom Line Recap of What You Need to Know<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Talk to your client and study their business from a broader perspective, covering\u00a0areas such as their:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 business offering<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 customer relationships<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 business infrastructure<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 revenue streams<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 cost structures<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Collaborate and communicate with other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Balance business needs (is it feasible and viable?) with user needs (will people\u00a0want this product?).<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Understand the end-to-end service customers currently experience with the\u00a0business.<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Think about the human context:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Who are your users?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What are their key tasks?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What will define a great experience?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Know which behaviors you\u2019re targeting for change.<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Make a plan for your project and consider what you should be mindful of at this\u00a0point.<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Set a clear project vision and refer to it constantly; this statement will help you\u00a0and your stakeholders navigate through the project and make clearer decisions.<\/p>\n

                    D.<\/p>\n

                    Revenue Streams<\/p>\n

                    It is necessary to consider the financial drivers of your client\u2019s business. Are they\u00a0driven by a focus on creating low-cost and no-frills products, or is their goal to\u00a0create a premium product? Knowing these drivers will affect your design work, as\u00a0does knowing the client\u2019s main source of revenue. The following questions will\u00a0help you to distinguish the client\u2019s revenue streams:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How does the client make money from customers?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How does the client make money from partners?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How do customers currently pay?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What do customers pay for?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How much does each channel contribute to overall revenue for the client?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What is the total value customers are willing to pay for the product?<\/p>\n

                    Cost Structures<\/p>\n

                    The following questions will help\u00a0you to identify the client\u2019s cost structures:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What are the most important costs to the business?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Which resources are the most expensive?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Which activities are the most expensive?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Is the client looking to cut costs through the use of technology? If so, how?<\/p>\n

                    Why does this project matter to the client?<\/p>\n

                    The following questions will help uncover your client\u2019s goals and objectives for the\u00a0project:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Why is this project important to the business? Why was it initiated?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How will the success of the project be measured internally?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Who will be involved in determining the overall success of the project?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Who is paying for the project (often referred to as the \u201cproject sponsor\u201d if you\u2019re\u00a0working within a larger corporate setting), and how will they be involved?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What other areas of the business should be invited to participate in your process?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Who will manage the expectations and involvement of other key stakeholders? (You or your client?)<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Are there dates, time frames, or other projects that your work needs to tie into?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Are there internal processes or constraints that you\u2019ll need to be mindful of, or\u00a0work within?<\/p>\n

                    Understand the Target Segment<\/p>\n

                    As a guide, you should focus your discussion on the following points:<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Who are the assumed users of the client\u2019s product?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 Why are these users being targeted for this product?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What are the most critical tasks users need to complete in using the product?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How do users currently perform these tasks (without the use of technology)?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What behaviors are we hoping to shift or change in our customers with the\u00a0product we\u2019re creating?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What would trigger the users to want to engage with the product?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 What does the entire experience around the product and its use entail?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How would the client define a great experience for the users of this product?\u00a0Why?<\/p>\n

                    \u25a0 How does this experience fit with the other products and services the client has\u00a0on offer?<\/p>\n

                    This all comes back to gaining an appreciation for the eventual context of use for the product; importantly, it also makes you think in more detail about human behavior with your product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
