Project Discovery
Don’t build a website without a plan. Sterner Stuff’s website discovery process takes the risk and uncertainty out of designing and developing a new website.
You know your business and where you want it to go. You know what’s going well and what your hurdles are. So when it comes time to build a website, it’s important to understand not only what your website needs to do to serve those goals and overcomes those hurdles, but to work out the finer points of how.
Building a website without a thorough plan often leads to:
- Projects going over-budget
- Websites that don’t represent you well
- Websites that don’t generate leads, sell products, manage members, or do the other things they need to do.
Forget all that.
Discovery is Sterner Stuff’s stand-alone service designed to help everyone get on the same page about how your website fits into the bigger picture. What is success, and how exactly do we get there? Discovery results in a clear understanding of the current landscape, assets, and challenges, and provides a technical plan that ensure the full project is an unqualified success.
Why spend money on website discovery?
- Website discovery ensures the work that gets done is in-line with business goals and not just work for work’s sake
- Project discovery turns vague requirements (“Migrate content”) into solid, actionable items (“We can use these tools on our current platform to migrate data to the new platform”)
- A well-defined scope leads to accurate budgets
- Discovery is a low-cost opportunity for us to work together and ensure our styles and strategies are a match for higher-cost projects down the road
Getting Started
To get started, you’ll fill out the form below. Assuming everything looks good, we’ll contact you to schedule an introductory phone call, 20-30 minutes, to make sure we’re a good fit.
From there, we formally begin discovery. This is a 60-90 minute session, in-person or by video chat. We’ll do a deep dive into your business so that we have all the knowledge we need to make your project a success. This includes details about your best buyers, questions about your competition and inspiration, problems your business is facing, and how you envision the future.
We’ll deliver a document reviewing all of this to you, as well as a bid to get it done with Sterner Stuff.
All of that is a flat $500, which is applied to the full project bid if you choose to work with us (because you were so impressed with the thorough bid you received).
