6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

As an independent web designer, you have a lot on your hands. From creating designs and layouts, producing sample sites, doing digital retouching and keeping up with recent software developments, you really put a lot of time and effort into making every project a success. So you don't want all this hard work to go down the drain because it just wasn't what the client was looking for.

For this reason, implementing a website design form is a great way to gather all the information you need before you decide to work with them. It enables you to do more research about their target audience and to give a precise quote as well as turnaround time. However, if you don't ask the correct questions, you might develop a website that they don't need or exceed their budget.

To help you create a comprehensive website design form for client intake we'll go over the main aspects your form should cover. But before we get into it, let's quickly define what a web design questionnaire/form is.

Note: Use Bonsai to create effective web design questionnaires that meet your business' needs and sets you up for a successful project. Our custom client forms are fully customizable and can be easily integrated into your website. Get yours today for free here!

What is a web design client questionnaire?

A website design client questionnaire/form is a list of questions that web designers provide for their prospective clients in order to better understand their needs for business and design before developing their website. It is closely tied to a client intake meeting because the questions can be utilized to create that resource and gain a better understanding of the client's priorities in terms of timeframe, budget, and other relevant variables.

Obtaining as much information as you can upfront can give you knowledge of the client's target market and objectives, enabling you to make sure that your finished product meets or even exceeds the client's original vision. While each form can be tailored to different clients, it can be time consuming to create a form from scratch each time you're about to start a project, so it's a good idea to create a basic template you can use as reference and save lots of time. Read on to find out what to include.

Elements to Include in Your Web Design Client Questionnaire

Asking plenty of questions is the best method to comprehend your clients' wants and give them the most accurate quote. However, it can be hard to cover every single detail when first meeting with your client. So to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding requirements, budget and design process make sure to cover the following aspects.

Client Information

The first thing you must do is gather the client's essential contact information. Include the potential client's full name (or business name), physical address, phone number and email address. This way you can not only have all you need to do a proper follow-up but you will keep your client profiles well organized.

Brand & Industry Insights

You're looking for a solid basis to build a website that is consistent with your client's brand, so you must fully understand their business model and their main competitors. To help you find out what their competitive advantage is and what kinds of clients they're looking to reach, you may ask these questions.

- What products and services do you provide?

- Who are your primary target customers?

- How long have you been in business?

- What is the goal of your business?

- Do you have any brand assets or standards we may utilize as a guide?

- What distinguishes you from your rivals (unique selling proposition)?

- How many companies are you directly up against? (If you could include links to their websites)

- What types of images best reflect your business? (Pictures of establishments, markets, goods, the outside, etc.)

Website Design Project Details

Your web design questionnaire should include enough questions to help you clearly understand what your client has in mind. Find out whether they need a whole new website designed or are just looking to revamp the existing website, as well as the precise features the client wants to include. The following questions will help you discover your client's expectations.

- What is the project's main focus?

- How soon do you need the website to be developed?

- How many pages or sections will your website have in total?

- Do you require assistance with copywriting or content strategy?

- Please list the different functionalities of the website that you require. (For instance, sign-up forms for volunteers, a slideshow on the homepage, a Facebook badge, etc.)

- Will you require hosting and email?

- List the menu options you want, such as "home," "about," "services," etc.

- Do you want to establish a color preference inside your firm or does it already have a color scheme?

- Do you require a Wordmark or company logo for this project?

Challenges & Goals

Next, you must find out the state of your potential client's current site (if any) as well as the kind of finished product they're after. It's also important to understand how they want their customers to interact with the website. Here are some questions that should help figure this out.

- Do you currently have a website? If so, what is and isn't working for you?

- Do you have any prepared web content?

- What do you want to accomplish with your website?

- Do you already have a logo or other brand identifying features?

- How important is SEO to your website's success?

- Do you have a particular favorite website? Why? (Examples include sidebars, headers, menus, colors, typography, and images.)

- What characteristics must your website have to be successful? (For instance, CTA (Call To Action) buttons, live chat, integrating social media, or compatibility with different browsers)

- Do you have any doubts or concerns about the web design project?

- What do you want your website visitors to do when they access it?

Client's Budget

In order to determine how much your potential client values your job and whether they can genuinely afford your services you'll have to inquire about their budget for the website. You can directly ask the question 'What's your estimated budget for the project', however, you may help them provide a more realistic estimate by offering a dropdown list with the minimum amount you would consider as the beginning point. Typically, this would be your least favorite budget, and depending on how much work the client is expecting you to complete, you might decide to decline it.

Questions & Comments

Finally, before deciding to take on the project, you don't want to leave any questions unanswered. You can leave some space at the end of the website design questionnaire to allow your prospective client to enter any more information they may deem pertinent to the project and ask further questions. They might have some relevant details that your form missed or they might want to know more about you and your services.
