Questions to ask clients before designing their website. As with any project you start, gathering essential information upfront is not only beneficial to a successful deliverable but will also save you and your client plenty of headaches throughout the process and pave the way to a lasting and trusting relationship.

The more information you have equals the smoother the project goes — which in turn sets the tone for a good designer/client relationship. Some of the questions below can be applied to more then just website design so I broke them down into sections for better functionality for your clients. Company-related questions Do you currently have a website? What is the URL? Describe the products/services you sell.Who are your main competitors? Project-related questions Technical skill level of your client base.

Additional questions Do you need to be able to update the website on your own? As with my logo questionnaire, I also like to leave my clients with a field or extra room at the end where they can provide additional details and comments. Blackboard Learn. A guide to Google Analytics Pt2 | Features. Dashboards By far the easiest way to customise Google Analytics is using dashboards. These let you drop widgets onto one of 20 dashboards per profile, with each widget showing a graph or a table for a particular set of dimensions and metrics. Chart options include pie charts and timelines, while there’s also the option of just showing a particular metric.

You can add filters to widgets, as well as treating custom reports as widget contents. Each dashboard can cover a different time frame, set using the time control in the top-right of the screen. You can set a custom view or a relative range; relative ranges simplify using dashboards, as they give you all the relevant data for the last week or month. The standard report At the bottom of the Standard report are a set of tables that give you a quick overview of key demographic and system metrics.

Custom reports While the default reports and dashboards are packed with useful information, you can also create your own reports. Real-Time.
