When acquiring new website clients, what steps does everyone take when meeting with the client when it comes to generating content for the website? My clients are mainly local to me and Iv been fortunate enough to have some easy going clients who pretty much give me full control. I sit down and figure out exactly what they do in business, what services they offer and that's pretty much it.

How much pre planning does everyone do with the client to ensure you are meeting their expectations?

I am creating simple informative WordPress sites under 5 pages. It's been working for what i do but I'm always interested in learning from others.

    We used to have a questionnaire in the earlier stages of my web design and development carrier but after that things became so repetitive that I just had a few questions which are crucial for me to plan the website and leave out the rest because in any case the clients never have the time to fill pages of questions! By the way how much do you charge for a 5-page WordPress website?

    Wordpress is kinda an online broshoore.

    You invite evrywan most likely to go for what you gaht ... an' you show 'em round the place.

    An' it is naht an accidental presentation.

    Bcs your audience's meanderin' around is guided by the struckchoore of the narrative you present an' the woids you choose to get' 'em thinkin' ... yanno, this might just be the zackliest evah thing for me!

    thb I don't color in alla tha CTA boxes get nacho averse ballet artistes more excited than dead-of-night showdown guys with a persnlly chosen weapon, bcs that is naht muh skillset.

    Websites flip pages open. Like Curiosity Unbound gaht lucky.

    That is why you quit the othah site you searched, directly aftah the headline.

    An' it is naht like you GLAD you switched out this way ... it is more like you FORGAHT.

    FORGAHT as you readin' the next stuff you seein', as you follow HOME ABOUT SERVICES CONTACT STRATEGIESTOFOLLOWWHENPUMASATTACK ... in a FLASH bcs MENU.

    Steada what you ain't gaht no cloo what else might be OUT THERE bcs yr present moment attention says so.

    So be engagin' an' adventurous regardin' any menu of stuffs you want visitahs to pick an' pick an' pick from.

    An' be sure to figure the best shit to put on page 1 of yr broshoore.

    Nowan nevah flips back to p1 without willingly choosin' to do so.

    p1 is eithah blanked, or referenced as a proven consequence of sum kinda ordah.

    Why, its place in the hierarchy of proven events is even called HISTORY.

    What you gaht gowin' on says READ ON?

    From wherevah you start?

    As will impart upon yuh poisanal self all glories?

    Wouldn't YOU rathah discovah stuffs errin' on the sidea the PERSONAL steada the POISONAL?

    Evry bookmark an' link you gaht on any browsah or website you regard as pertinent to your needs in 2023 prolly ain't POISONAL -- less'n you onea them noo kinda heartless MANIACS -- which is why choice mattahs, I guess.

    You gaht optschwaahs, mebbe you can bend ovah sweet real easy, an' pull miracles outta the what.

    Wordpress is kinda an online broshoore.

    You invite evrywan most likely to go for what you gaht ... an' you show 'em round the place.

    An' it is naht an accidental presentation.

    First It depends upon the client you approach with, we can't say this is the blueprint.
    Understand them, research about them and their website too, and Categories your doubts and needs and be ready expect the same from them.

    What does a client want from a website? That's the ultimate goal.

    The content of the site should simply be a bridge to that.

    You can create your own quick template: ready-made questions to get details about the client's business, target audience, etc.

    After you have all the info, flip your thinking and put on the customer's hat. What is the customer seeking when they come to your site.
