One Day WordPress Website Guide

• What will be the goal of your website?
  Are you trying to capture email, customer leads via a form, selling a product or service.
• Tell us about your target audience.
  Are you targeting a certain age group?  Are they male or female?  Businesses or individuals?  A specific location?  Are they in a specific industry or position (i.e. doctors, lawyers, artists, etc.)?
  
• Describe your ideal website, or share links of some website you like and what it is you like about them.
• What do you want your website visitor to feel when they visit your website?
• Do you know what fonts, color scheme, or patterns you would like to use?
  Include font names for headings and paragraph text. Keep your color scheme and font styles simple. Too many colors or font styles will distract users from your goal. (3-5 colors max, and 3 font styles max)
• Will users be able to log into your website?
• Do you have any other design preference?
  Do you like a specific layout, right sidebar or left or none, use of gradients, etc.

This is the most important part of any website. We prefer that you have your website content complete for all pages in your website build with us. Designing around content is always best and produces the best results. We do understand that circumstances arise in that you may not be able to deliver your content before our appointment date. If this is the case, we can provide filler content for your website during the build in which you can update later very easily using our Page Builder and front-end editor.

We will setup a site where you can upload this guide, your website content, logos, images, login information, etc. We’ll send you the site info after you sign up.

Is this project a redesign of your current website?

If so, just tell us what content for which pages you'd like to use, or if all the content will remain the same for all pages.  There will be no need for you to deliver content to us since we'll be able to copy the content from your current site.

Is this a new website project?  Please provide us with the following:

• Sitemap (list of all pages for your website).
  Provide a list of all pages for your website; Home, About Us, Services, Portfolio, Testimonials, Blog, Our Team, Shop, Account, Contact, etc.  This will help us in creating your main navigation.  Please clearly show any page that is a subpage of another.
