Monday The 12Th Of March - First Time Meeting The Client

Quick note - My thoughts:
Today we were meant to meet the client for the first time to ask our pre planned questions for the clients feedback. However the client/clients could not make it in today. This was a bit of a set back in terms of timing and organisation, but we decided to email the client our questions in order to obtain the feedback we need to progress visually. We are now awaiting a reply, however in the mean time i will research into existing website layouts, colour schemes, typography, navigation layouts etc.

Our Email:
A small group of us devised the an email containing all the necessary pre-planned questions that we would have asked the client if they were able to attend the meeting. Below are the questions we
devised.
