[snip] Can anyone provide or direct me to the subject? I need more than a checklist of what to include. Something to go over with the client, complete the sections, and create a document to determine scope and determine price. [/snip] Web sites are like elbows and opinions. Everyone has one or two and they are almost always never the same. I have been in the industry for a long time and have never seen a boilerplate requirements document for a web site. It has always been my opinion that the developer is responsible for listening to the customer and then writing a requirements document. That document is subject to many revisions before becoming final...and everyone signs off on it. Having said that there are some questions to ask (none of them technical mind you, because the customer doesn't know how a developer develops...and really does not care); What do you want your web site to do for you? (advertise, build community, sell stuff, etc.) Who will supply the graphics? (you or a design firm) Who will design the layout? (you or a design firm) Do you need; a. a __________ for staff or users (forum, gallery, etc) b. e-commerce (order fulfillment, payment acceptance, etc.) c. a maintenance contract (with all conditions spelled out, including delivery times, do you [the developer] provide a warranty of any type and what does it cover) Who will update content? (you or them, and if them what tools do they expect) These questions will beget many others....good luck! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
