  • Let's get started with a little information about your primary contact. This is the point person on your end—the one who will answer questions about the project.
  • Let's talk about the reason for this project and some goals.
  • Please tell us a few of your most important objectives with this project.
  • What is the central “pain point” your organization is experiencing with your website?
  • Okay, this is where we get nerdy. These are the details that we will need to know to estimate your project. A detailed specifications document will be created once the project kicks off, but this gives us a starting point.
  • If you are already working with a content management system, please explain.
  • Please describe your eCommerce goals, including what type of products you plan to sell and how many. Please also tell us about any unique challenges to selling online in your particular industry.
  • Does your organization depend on 3rd party services for things like email newsletters, marketing automation, CRM / contact management, inventory control, intranet, accounting / Quickbooks, or inventory management? If so, be sure to include the ones for which synching / integration with the website is essential and describe how you expect it to work.
  • Please describe any additional functional requirements.
  • Do you require membership management on your site? This would be for allowing people to access special or hidden content on your site, perhaps after submitting an email address or paying to view a whitepaper.
  • Please describe your current hosting set-up.
  • This is the fun part. In this section, you will provide the information that will lead to an amazing design. Don't be shy about what you like and don't like.
  • As a pure development firm, we do not offer design services. We partner with creative shops that provide world-class design services. Interface design will be contracted separately.
  • Have any architecture documents been created? Please​ select one or more .
  • Provide a general description of your primary target audience. Talk about your customers or clients—who are they (demographics: age/sex/income/location), what do they like to do (what are their hobbies, where do they typically spend time online) and why do they or why should they use your services or buy your product?
  • For websites whose audience skews older, larger default text and click areas will inform the design. Government & public sites often require Section 508 compliance.
  • All projects stem from goals and objectives. Your website is no different. You should have a clear set of measurable goals. Many website RFPs have goals around attaining new functionality (such as mobile friendly), however functionality is a means to an end, not a goal. Your goals should be around increasing leads from your website. Your website can increase leads in two ways: either by ranking higher in search engines or by improving your website’s conversion rate.
  • Describe​ what a conversion looks like for your company and require an explanation on how a path to conversion may be established or improved ti increase conversions. Talk about specific numbers if possible.
  • Describe other goals that you need to meet to consider this project a success. This field is extremely important.
  • Should we include time for training sessions post-launch? It is a good idea to get your staff up to speed on the​ functionality of their new toy.
  • This is the section where we establish timelines for the project. These key dates should be enough for us to create a production timeline with milestones.
  • All proposals should be delivered by this date.
  • This is the date that you plan to notify vendors of a selection.
  • This is the date that you expect that project to begin. (You can estimate.)
  • This is the date that the completed site will be available to the public. (You can estimate.)
  • Please use this space to include any other details you would like to convey.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
