Web Site Discovery Form


Thank you for considering our services for the design and launch of your Web site. In order for us to provide an accurate estimate, we need to ask you some questions about the type of Web site you want. What do you want your customers to experience when they visit your site. The below questionnaire will guide you through the discovery process to assist you in identifying your needs quickly and easily. The information provided will be considered a Request for Proposal and will assist us in offering the best service options for your specific needs.

Please type your answer after each question. Neatness, grammar and punctuation do not matter, but please answer each question as thoroughly as is possible. When you have completed this questionnaire, click the submit button. Once we receive your Request for Proposal, we will review it and send you a quote as soon as possible.

We understand that answering the below questions may take some time, but it is crucial in enabling us to provide you with the best solutions available. We thank you for your time, are available to answer any questions, and look forward to working with you. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Fred Moreira
