Project Plan and Questionnaire
“Some of these are questions we never even thought about and answering them helped us define our project better.”
When small businesses and non-profits take the time to download and work through our project plan and questionnaire, they almost always tell us that they feel more confident about their details and goals. It’s a valuable document, but it’s also a solid way of getting the most accurate cost and time estimate for your project. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sign up for our Design and Marketing Tips newsletter and you’ll be able to download the questionnaire right away (it’s a fillable PDF file). Don’t worry, we’re not going to share your email or hard sell you on services. You’ll get an occasional newsletter with a valuable tip straight from the experts and can unsubscribe at any time.
