FreeLists / webproducers / [webproducers] Re: helping clients express what they want for design

[Scott Spence <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

He he he he...

you must be joking Morry - questions, with answers that the client
*actually* sticks to? (I know a mind reader in the Camden markets...)

Seriously though, I find the best way to get an idea of what the client
want is to ask for examples of web sites that they like. I think one of
the most important things is to make sure that you manage the client's
expectations from this point. Always better to impress than disappoint!
When asking a 'series' of questions unless the client is technical avoid
any terms such as 'frames', 'flash', 'javascript', 'gifs' or 'transitional
progressive encoding' :-)

KISS
