The first place to start from our point of view is for you, the client to indicate to us any website which contains a style or any individual element which you believe could compliment your site when designed. This could be a number of things: |
| • |
Color scheme |
| • |
Navigation |
| • |
Technical features |
| • |
Interactivity |
| • |
Use of imagery |
| • |
Graphical elements including animation |
| Anything which catches your attention, that sticks in your mind, will of course stay in the minds of the viewers of your site. |

Check out your competitors. What can you do to improve on their site? Obviously that is down to us, but you know your business better than we do, so we need to know what you expect from us. |

If possible having all the information together before you send it to us is helpful, because when we know exactly what is involved we will not stumble through the initial design process, thus us all saving time. |

If you have an existing logo or corporate identity, it would be most helpful if you could supply to us all available graphics or information in its original format. For example: |
| • |
High resolution images (so that we do not lose any quality) |
| • |
Any specific typefaces used in logos |
| • |
Original photographs |
| • |
Vector created graphics, for use in Illustrator and Flash (so that the logo can be animated) |
| We can reproduce or re-draw just about any design or logo if necessary with our in-house designer. |
