What does my designer need from me?

This decision is based on how much work you wish to do yourself, the more you are willing to do yourself the cheaper the website becomes.

If for example you are just to busy to warrant the time but still want a website then we can do all the work for you based on some bullet point decisions that you have made.

Typically we need to know:

• The domain name that you want (e.g. www.puafo.com).
• How many pages you want and a rough idea of what you want to say on those pages
• Your logo and a colour scheme that you like.
• Do you require additional Search Engine Optimization (SE0) work
• Do you require a Content Management System (CMS)
• Your budget, we require this so we can plan your website project around what you want to spend, remember we do have payment options.

Its a good idea to take some time to browse a few website's and take note of ones that you like, although we wont copy them it will give us a better understanding of your taste in style and layout.
