Passwords and Credentials

We won't be asking for any passwords or credentials on this form, but we will potentially need access to some or all of the following in the near future:

Login info or delegate access to your current Domain Registrar and/or Hosting provider (GoDaddy, etc.)
Add info@giantdonutmarketing.com as a user with permissions to any relevant Google assets (Google Analytics, Search Console, etc.)

You'll want to ensure that you have access to these accounts as we will need access as well. We'll help you determine exactly what credentials we need.

Website - Current Assets

Business Website URL

If known, provide the URL that will be used for your business website. (e.g. https://giantdonutmarketing.com)

Do you currently have website hosting (GoDaddy, etc.)?*

Yes

Not sure

Website hosting is a remote server where the contents of your website live. Examples of hosting companies are GoDaddy, SiteGround, etc.

We often switch users to our fully-managed hosting. Are you interested in this option?

Yes, sounds good

No, I'd like to stay with my hosting

Not sure

A new web build is a great time to switch hosting. Our cPanel hosting gives us high-level access to any hosting parameters to best mitigate issues and keep your site in top shape. In some cases, we don't recommend switching, but we often do. The price of hosting AND an SSL certificate are included in any of our monthly website management plans or can separately be purchased for $150/yr (for standard plans). This is only in relation to your hosting and NOT your domain name. Your domain name will never be moved to us.

Branding and Logos

In this section we just want to establish what logos and branding you may have for planning purposes. We'll collect any actual files separately.

Do you have a professionally designed logo that we can use?*

Yes, Vector (source file)

Yes, PNG image

Yes, JPG image

Yes, but unsure of format

Yes, but the quality is poor

Yes, but we need a redesign

No, we currently don't have a logo

Please check all that apply

Do you need us to design a logo for you?

Yes, I'd love to talk through options on a logo design

Not sure

This is typically an add-on cost. GDM can create a professionally-designed logo that best represents your brand.

Do you have a branding guide or specific fonts or colors that we need to use?

Yes, we have a full branding guide

No branding guide, but we do have specific fonts or colors that we use

Fonts related to your brand (e.g. Montserrat, Helvetica)

(if unknown, leave blank)

Colors related to your brand (hex or rgb, etc.)

E.g. #00305a, #f56b0a (if unknown, leave blank)

Photos and Graphics

In this section we just want to establish what graphic assets you have for planning purposes. We'll collect these actual files separately.

Do you already have photos or graphics that you'd like to use for this site?

Yes, I have or will provide 100% of the photos and graphics needed for the site

I have some photos and graphics, but will need to use stock photos for some images

I don't have any graphics yet – I will need a photo shoot

I don't have any graphics yet – We'll plan to use stock photos

Unsure

We often utilize stock photos (which we typically provide as part of the web build) and can help you with all the graphics needed for your site. Some businesses will want their own photos to represent their brand or business. Additionally, we often recommend photos of your team for an About page, etc. All photos that we use should be high quality and ideally at least 800px wide regardless of height. We can help establish what photos you may need and whether your existing photos will work or not.

Website Design and Content

We'll have a separate meeting to talk through specifics, but this will help establish a baseline for this project.

Give us an example of 2-3 websites you really like aesthetically (or for other reasons).

Example 1

https://

Example 2

https://

Example 3

General design notes

Include any general notes about things that are important on this site – visually or otherwise. We can talk more details, so this is just a starting point.

What pages do you envision including on this site?

(E.g. Home, About, Services, Contact) We'll help in determining pages that you should include or not include, but this will give us a starting point.

Elements you'd like to include on your site

Email Signup Form

"Polite" popup – Email signup form

eCommerce

Donations

Product Database (non-eCommerce)

Events Calendar

News or Blog (we only recommend this for very specific sites)

Advanced forms (anything more than a contact form)

Videos embedded on the site

Team section (with custom fields for managing a list of staff or team)

Membership Section

Subscriptions

Photo Gallery

Other custom functionality (include in "General design notes" above)

Please note that some additional elements may affect pricing. Check all that apply. These can be added to or removed – This is just to get an idea of functionality that you may need.

Do you already have written content for the site?

Yes, we already have some content and can provide any additional written content as needed

We currently have no content, but can provide all written content as needed

We need help with content writing

Most web builds require additional written content. As a general rule, we aim for 300+ words per page on the website to best provide value to search engines like Google. Written content is the #1 element that typically holds up the website launch process, so we'll work with you to get this going as soon as possible. Our team can also provide content writing for an additional cost.

Timeline

Our typical timeline for a project is 6-8 weeks. If you have a specific launch date in mind, let us know.

Proposed Launch Date

MM slash DD slash YYYY

Please note that the actual launch date will be established once the entire scope is reviewed with the development team. (You may leave this blank)
