Web Site Planning Worksheet
Here are some things for you to consider before we build your web site. You may not know the answer to all of these questions - that's okay. We are happy to discuss each of these things with you and come up with a plan together. Answer the things you can. It will give us a place to start. Feel free to call us at 817-944-8204 if you have any questions.
What is the main purpose of your site?
- Build brand identity
- Sell products directly over the Internet
- Make product and price information available
- Make a favorable impression of your company or organization
- Disseminate information
- Develop a potential client list
- Inform public about your purpose
- Be seen as an authority in your field
What kind of mood do you want to set?
For example: fun, serious, kooky, slick, tailored, whimsical, hi tech, hip, retro, old fashioned, etc.
Does you have a specific color scheme?
For readability its best to keep the background neutral, but accent colors can be any you like.

Do you already have a logo or graphics?
If yes, email them to jennifer@deadeyedata.com or upload them to this site, or if you don't have digital files, you can mail hard copies to
Deadeye Data

If you don't have a logo or graphics, but would like them, we can do that for you. Regular design rates apply.
Do you already have brochures or other written material about your company?
Email your existing content to jennifer@deadeyedata.com.
If you don't already have content, we can write content for you. I majored in public relations and minored in English at UT Arlington. I'm not just a techie geek. I can write too. Regular design rates apply.
Have you already registered your domain name?
What is it? If you haven't, we can tell you some good sources. Do not pay more that $15 per year. It's also better if you register your name, not your host. That way you know that you are the registered owner. When some hosts register a domain for you, they register it in their name, not yours.
Have you chosen a host?
Deadeye Data designs web sites, we do not sell hosting. However we will be happy to share our experience with you and hopefully save you some grief when making a hosting decision. We will need your hosting information if you want us to upload your site, otherwise the final product will be delivered to you on CD.
