Every client and every project is different. There is no checklist that fits every client and every project - at least not that I'm aware of!

But there are some basics that are necessary to get started with a new client.

What do you ask them at first contact? How do you store this?

I'm curious!

I use Google Forms and here is what I ask new clients before making an offer for a project:

• Web/App/Other project or combination?
• If applicable: are domains already registered?
• If applicable: Name of registrar
• If applicable: Name of domain(s)
• If applicable: Do you have an existing host?
• If applicable: Should I take care of hosting? (charging included)
• Base data of company and client (Name, address, VAT-Id, and whatnot is required)
• Can I display this project in my portfolio?
• Upload of resources (Logo, other stuff)
