It's time for another homework assignment and this one requires a bit more work. As you see, putting a website together requires a bit of planning but you have already reached step 3. We're almost there.
Note that if you prefer, we can fax or mail you a copy of the questions below. Feel free to call us anytime at 1(800) 556-8548 or Fax (732) 516-1206 to request a copy.
We'll need the following information to begin work on your website design. For now it's just the basics as applicable:
1. Full Company Name
2. Short Company Name (if applicable)
3. Full Street Address including Zip Code
4. Phone Number
5. Fax Number
6. Email Address (this could change if you want to receive email at your domain, e.g. president@yourwebsite.com)
7. Do you have an existing URL or reserved domain name (Internet Address?) e.g. http://www.yournamehere.com
8. Often businesses want to redirect sales and inquiries to specific members in their business or to other E-mail accounts for easier book keeping. Supply the contact information of the person who will receive your orders and inquiries, if applicable.

a. Contact's Full Name
b. Contact's Position
c. Contact's Telephone
d. Contact's FAX
e. Contact's E-mail Address

9. Company Logo (please provide the clearest image possible, we will scan this and include it in your website)
10. Company Slogan or Motto
11. Company Description (tell your website visitors about your company, its history or profile, how you stand up against your competitors etc. be as descriptive as possible)
12. Do you want a Feedback Form where customers can let you know what they think of your product/website/service?
13. What types of pages do you want to include in your website? (cf. http://www.j3ns.com/pagetypes.htm) Any special considerations or preferences regarding the design or its layout? If you wish, you might reference already existing websites as an example. "I want my website to look something like amazon.com's."
14. Business Category? Ex: non-profit organization, retail, school, industrial, medical, real estate etc.
15. Does your business accept credit cards? If so, which ones?
16. Any other acceptable payment methods? COD, check, money order?
17. Do you want customers to be able to place orders for products online? This means you would receive an order from a customer via email who you would contact regarding the transaction.
18. Do you want customers to be able to purchase items online? This is a more expensive option which means you could accept and process credit card orders online. It also requires a separate merchant account with a bank and arrangements to accept credit cards.
19. Please give a list of at least 5 and as many as 30 words or phrases which describe your business or organization. This information will be used to make it easier for the general public surfing the Internet to find you when inquiring the various search engines. We will take the liberty of adding to this list to increase your site's ranking in the search engines' hierarchy. Ex: tobacco store, cigars, cigarettes, lighters, pipes, filters etc.
20. Feel free to include anything else you think might be relevant. And don't hesitate to call us at 1(800) 556-8548.
