FAQ
Q: I’m not sure exactly what I want or need - can you help?
A: Our questionnaires and quote forms are written specifically to provoke thought and consideration. You’ll find the forms within our site, wherever you see the big “Q” (at left), or in our Form Library. While filling out your questionnaire or form, you are welcome to contact us with any questions or concerns you may 
have. The best way to create a design that integrates your ideas, is to answer the questionnaire as completely as possible–do your best to answer EVERY question in detail. Be sure to provide us with colors and samples of sites you’ve seen that appealed to you, as visual clues can be the defining influence for a designer. While it may require a little extra time to fill out your questionnaire, it will be worth the effort to achieve your perfect design.
