What do you want to accomplish with your website and what is your first priority? (top 4 answers: produce sales leads, sell products directly, promote a physical service or retail location, provide support/information for existing customers) 

Do you already have website copy or will it need to be written for/with you? 

Do you want e-commerce functionality and if so how many products/services do you want to sell (approximate number is great)? 

Do you have a plan in place for SEO and Internet Marketing? If you don’t, I would recommend a plan to allocate at least an equal budget for the web design and SEO/Marketing portions of your website.  What’s the point of having a website no one will see.
