Your Discovery Call with ArcFires
Congratulations on taking the first step towards building a powerful online presence for your business! Our Discovery Call is a crucial part of the process where we dive deep into your project’s scope, needs, and goals. An effective Discovery Call will help us prepare an accurate bid for your project, so please come prepared!
To make the most out of our time together, the tabs above provide some resources to help you prepare.
What is a Discovery Call?
A Discovery Call is a scheduled meeting where we discuss the specifics of your website project. This is where we define what your website needs to accomplish, how it will look, and how it will function.
Your business will evolve, and your website should too. We’ll discuss how we can build a scalable website that can adapt to your future needs.
Be prepared to discuss your budget constraints, as this will help us tailor a solution that maximizes your investment.
The Discovery Call is a two-way street. We’ll ask questions, but we also want to hear your ideas, concerns, and questions.
What Happens Next?
After the Discovery Call, we’ll send you a detailed proposal outlining the project’s scope, timeline, and cost. Once everything is agreed upon, we’ll move on to the exciting part—building your website!
These are the questions that should be answered for us to have an efficient Discovery Call. We will share a collaborative document with you and ask that you insert the answers to these questions into the document.
To get more clarification on these questions, view the Discovery Call Prep Packet in the next tab.
