How should I prepare for the interview?
Following your purchase of a Web site or logo design, you will set up an interview time with a Design Specialist. The interview is a very important part of the design process. Your Design Specialist will ask you questions about the vision you have for your project, answer any questions you have, and explain the design process.
The interview is the time during which your Design Specialist learns about your specific needs and expectations. It is important that you have specific expectations of your finished product and discuss these expectations with your Design Specialist. Consider the purpose of your project. Do you want to educate visitors, market a product, or simply share information?
Your Design Specialist cannot begin your project until you provide this information. Design Specialists cannot provide Web site content, create an identity for your business, compose a tag line, or develop position statements. Your input is vital to the design process. A great way to start developing your vision is by noting Web sites and logos that have elements that catch your attention. Take note of colors, styles, and functionality.
Note: When your Design Specialist begins the design process, major changes cannot be made to your project. Your design specialist cannot continually add content throughout the Web site, layout, or logo design process. When you submit your content, be sure you have included everything you want on your site.

Tip: Verify that your Design Specialist has your current email address.
