Meet CP Sharp

My team and I have always felt that one the largest obstacles to the marriage of technology and design is when the techies just don’t get what the artists are looking for. Over time we’ve settled on a few questions that are brief and concise but give us a lot of the information we need to get to work.

Domain Name

Do you already own a domain name?
We can manage the process of setting up your domain, and even set you up with hosting.
How should people reach you on the internet?
Will you need a hosting-provider? Yes No, or I’m not sure
Though there are recurring costs involved with domain registration and hosting setup, we will take care of these costs for as long as you’re our client.

WordPress is a blogging solution that’s been in existence for a number of years and has managed to survive in a thriving tech market because it simply does a great job at separating the inner workings of the technology from the content production that is involved in keeping websites great. I think Susan has mentioned this to you, and all but the most exception clients I’ve had have been very satisfied with wordpress. Don’t let me lock you into it though, if you decide you’d like to work with me we’ll give you a chance to try some other options. Yes
No, or I’m not sure

Lets talk design

A great website design is much easier to bring to life if there’s a base strong brand behind it. If you’re already established, great! If you’re not, even better, because now is when you get to think about what your site might look like! Do you have a logo? Yes
No, or I’m not happy with mine *Populates with radio selected output val*

Design complexity

So once we’re past the simple questions, we’ll start focusing in on the specifics of how you want your page to feel. Now, before I say more I want to assure you that your site will look impressive if you decide on the Hyundai or the Mercedes. I stand behind the work of my team and we simply won’t be happy until you are. That being said, there are sites such as the photograpy/blog site theworldinmylens.com which, while I’m sad to say I didn’t design, is very active, loaded with content, and remains pleasing to the eye at the same time. After seeing that site,as it relates to anotheimage heavy site, called theworkcycle.com, to me the feel of the photography site simply has more pull on emotions, but accordingly, would takme much longer to build and come at a higher price point. To make it straight forward, let’s say these two sites are on opposite ends of the spectrum, where do you see the level of detail you’re looking for in your design falling between 1 and 100.

Finally, the business end

It’s very important I understand the kind of business are you are doing? Even something vague can be helpful if you haven’t quite found your niche! The characteristics of the business will have a lot to do with how the site operates and feels. What do you want you site visitors to come to see see at your website. As I might invite a friend over to show him a new TV, you’re going to be inviting customers to a new online presence and it’s good to have a solid idea of what you want them to see first. Finally, how do you plan to monetize the site? How is it going to increase your revenue stream? Some of my clients get more than half of their references from their internet presence, so it’s one of the things that should be most important as we approach a design strategy.
