  • What does your company do and who is your target audience?
  • What are your goals for redesigning/building a website?
  • Do you currently have branding guidelines and design assets? Would you like to keep the current branding? Kindly provide assets that we can use.
  • Kindly provide a handful of websites you’d like that we can use for reference in our design. And provide reasons what you like and dislike about them.

design direction

To know the basic design preferences I would usually have stakeholder meetings and/or website questionnaire to know more about the company, its goals, vision, and aesthetic preferences.

Those methods are great in giving me baseline understanding of the client and the project. In meetings the client would usually provide their thoughts and websites that we can use as reference when designing the website. They would also do the same for the questionnaire, as an example here are some of the questions we asked:

brand coherence

To maintain brand coherence, I used the existing branding guidelines. Their color scheme are revolves around the orange color. It also serves as the dominant color in their branding materials. Their typography uses a sans serif font. These information will be used as baseline materials for the website's visual design.

conclusions

It is crucial that I understand the client's vision for the website because this is an important guide to the direction of the project. It is also important for success of the project. Projects can become costly and time-consuming for the client and the designer if both have a disconnect on what they are building. It's better to nail this part at the start. This will make it easier for the research, design and development processes.
