What To Bring To Your First Creative Design Meeting

Design

The first meeting between a creative team and a client is one of the most important ones we’ll have with you. It’s the time where we get to know you, your brand, and where we’re going to take it all.

Meeting your designers doesn’t require a lot of preparation, but anything you can bring us helps speed the process along and makes everything more productive. If you’re getting ready for your first creative design meeting, why not bring:

The right people

We love a first meeting to be full of ideas. We want to meet the people who are going to be working with us as we design your site, so bring along anybody who’s likely to have input. That having been said, if it’s going to get crowded then send a delegate with some notes from everybody else.

An idea of what you want to achieve from your new site

The goals and expectations of your site are vital for everybody to understand. By this, we don’t mean what you want it to look like (although we’ll definitely be talking about that!). We want to know if you’re looking for people to buy from an ecommerce platform, read your content, use a contact form or something else.  

Some likes

Competitors, colour schemes, or just sites that you’ve stumbled across that you love – it’s all valuable. From the things you show us, we’ll be able to understand whether you like things minimalist and clean or bright and busy. Even if there’s just the one component that you like, bring it over to us for a look.

Some dislikes

The things you don’t like are just as valuable as the things you do. When it comes down to it design is all about personal style, and we want to make sure that what we’re designing is in line with yours. We primarily design for the end user, but it’s important to us that you’re just as in love with your website as we are, so if you can show us sites you’re not a fan of we’ll be able to get a feel for the things we should be avoiding.

The beginnings of a plan

We’ll walk and talk you through everything that we need to know, but if you’ve got an idea of what you need in a website at the beginning it’s invaluable for us. Think about the pages you’ll need and the kind of things you need on there. A mini plan with your navigation and what’s required is a great jumping off point for us.

To talk about your new website, branding and more, give the Zinc Creative Team a call today. We can’t wait to hear from you.
