Q: I'm not sure exactly what I want or need -
can you help? |
|
 A:
Our questionnaires (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 right),
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. |
Q: What can I do to prepare
myself for working with Classic Creations? |
|
A: Think
carefully about what you want, before we
get started. The more detailed you are
in your descriptions, the better chance
there is of your "vision" becoming
reality. We always research extensively
when working on any project, and knowing
what you want will help us to move in
the right direction. |
Q: Why doesn't Classic
Creations have an online questionnaire? |
|
A: The answer
is simple, a downloadable questionnaire
allows you more time and flexibility
when answering the questions. You don't
feel "rushed" to answer, or "glued to
the computer" while trying to think-and
you can change your answers as many
times as you need to, right up until you
send it to us. |

better) the resolution. |
