will help your project succeed
Dear Reader,

If you are ready to take a big step and get a website built for your new startup or an existing business but you are unsure on where to start and what to expect when working with web development companies - my ebook is here to help you!
As the CEO of a web development company in Silicon Valley I participate in many meetings with new clients that range from individual entrepreneurs to governmental organizations like United Nations. Project sizes vary, client team sizes vary, technological solutions vary but one thing seems to stay the same - most clients have a hard time figuring out the process that happens before the development begins and here are the bad outcomes that I see:
They struggle with how much detail to give developers some describe a 5000 hour project in one sentence (e.g. Its just like MySpace.com), others spend countless hours drawing hundreds of screens for their future site but the screens explain only 5% of functionality and developers can't give a quote without additional work.

Because clients dont have a good understanding of the pre-production process they skip steps or do them out of order and make the process longer and tiresome.

Many clients give different pieces of information to different development teams and end up comparing apples to oranges when bids come in thus awarding the project to unfit vendors.

I always felt that if only I had time to address frequently asked questions beforehand and give clients insight into what's happening on the development team's side of the process - many projects would run smoother. And so this eBook answers the following top 10 questions:
How much should I know about technology?
Internet and website technology primer
