Initial Consultation

Meet with the client: Arrange an initial meeting (in-person or virtual) to discuss the project in detail. The aim is to understand the purpose, vision, and goals for their website.Ask key questions: These include:

• What is the primary goal of the website? (e.g., selling products, providing information, showcasing a portfolio)
• Who is the target audience?
• Do they have existing branding (logo, colors, fonts) or do they need help creating that?
• Are there any websites they admire or want to emulate?
• What features or functionality are essential? (e.g., e-commerce, contact forms, blogs)
• What is the desired timeline for the project?
• What is the budget?

Understand their competitors: Ask about their competitors and their views on those websites to understand what’s working and what’s not in the industry.
