What makes a great website?
Although I typically don't merely follow "trends", I feel it's more important to give the end user an online experience that is not only unique, but easy to use and quickly locate information.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
1. In general, what is your vision for this project?
2. Have you have samples of anything done previously, or is there a competitors idea that you would like to make your own?
3. What is your timeframe for this project?
4. Do you have any brand standards that must be adhered to?
5. Will any outside vending be needed (printing, mailing, hosting, etc.)
Describe your creative process.
After getting answers on the questions I might ask, the process is straight foward, but would always be in communication with the client as questions and challenges arise.
1. I gather all necessary information on a given project, being mindful of the company's history, culture, and style.
2. If needed, I would provide a timeline with milestones as to where we should be at any given time.
3. Initial proofs would be emailed to the client, to evoke a reaction on the concept. Changes can be discussed in any fashion, phone, email, markup, etc.
4. Step 3 would continue until all parties are satisfied.
5. Final pieces would be forwarded to client for release.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
In addition to general information about the company, it would be necessary to know their overall goals for their company, and then match that to each individual project in order to achieve the best results.
What do you love most about your job?
Everything. I believe if you do what you love doing (and get paid for it to boot!), it's not really a job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ability to be creative as clients want, meeting needs and goals dictated by them
Why should our clients choose you?
I have been in the design, consulting, print production and prepress for over 25 years in corporate, small business and agency environments. I understand the challenges needed to get a project completed on time and under budget. As I say on the website, I am creative, adept, and dependable.
