Find A Client ~ Web Design - Monday

Who Will You Serve?

Your mission is to find a client - a person or organization that needs your help.
The main goal is to create a web site where there is no web site or the existing web site needs a renovation.
You may have a parent or relative that qualifies. If so, ask.
Others are out there that don't even know they need your help. Find one.
Here are a few examples:

• Southlands HOA
• Roswell UMC
• Roswell Photographic Society
• Local clubs
• Local churches
• Local Home Owners Associations

Once you have a prospect, copy the 5 items below into a Word Document and fill it out. Submit is to wdrasku@comcast.net.

Profile of the Client’s Company or Organization:

1. Company or organization name:

2. Products or services performed:

3. URL (if client already has a site):

4. Client’s mission statement (brief paragraph summarizing their mission, i.e., what they do and for whom and why):

5. Client's goals in having a website:
