Website Design Companies come in all shapes and sizes. They also offer a wide range of web design solutions, so it’s important your web design company understands your website objectives, and what you want your website to achieve for your business or organisation. 
 
When you tell us about your web design project, there are some critical things we need to understand. These include: 

Deciding on your Website Functionality 

This essentially means, what the website needs to “do.” Some common functionality includes:
- Content Management System (CMS) – Allows you to update the website yourself
- Image Gallery – Ideal for portfolio/accommodation/association websites
- Online Forms – Good for lead generation/registration/applications
- Secure Members Area
- Discussion Forum – Good for creating online community and getting return visitors
- Ecommerce – Ability to sell products via credit card online 
 
We also need to understand your business and industry. Things to think about in this area include:
- What your business does
- Your key points of difference
- Your target market
- Geographic Region your business operates e.g. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or New Zealand wide
- Your Current Marketing Mix 
 
Web Design is a collaborative effort. Although we are designers, it’s important to get your perspective on what makes good website design from within your industry. For this reason, providing us with a few websites from within your industry gives us some good input, and helps us as web designers get on the same page. The websites can be competitors, suppliers, New Zealand based, or international sites. It’s really just to get an idea of design.
