Three good questions to ask clients when embarking on a web site redesign:
- If your site was a person, what would he or she be like?
- How would you expect visitors to react when they first view your site?
- What celebrity (or car, movie, etc.) is your site most like? Least like? Why?
Nice ice breaker and a way to get them thinking creatively.
