Yes and no. I use those question to stimulate the client`s thoughts about his or her qoals and expectations for the web pesence. If they have answers, great. If they do not, it is a topic we discuss.  They probably do have answers, just not commited into writing, so I use the questions to stimulate a discussion about their goals.

I really have to agree with this. At this time I have a product that is selling (although lately,slow) and while I have ideas of the type of site that I want I am not a developer. A good developer can draw out the information that is needed to develop the site with some of the questions that you posted.. I will definetly keep you in mine when I can get to the point of lauching a web site.

Well, I will have to agree with ~Roland. Anyone who is planning to build a website for business should have a master plan or at least some goals of what to do with the site when it is launched. You just don't have to create a website and make others be irritated of how disorganized it is.

I guess you should ask yourself what is the purpose of it. If it is to help your clients, it doesn`t seem the right approach. :)

There's quite a lively discussion here!  

As a member of a website team myself, www.web-wis-dom.com I wanted to chime in with my thoughts.  I truly believe that the lesson here is that every client is different, and every website is therefore different.  There cannot be a cookie cutter version of any quality website - a quality website must reflect the individual style of a client's personality and business.  The look and feel is the most important part of the website in my opinion, and it would be difficult to get a sense of this with simply a questionnaire.  However, as Roland said, often those questions are used to begin the discussion which is a great starting point.  

When choosing a firm to design and develop your site my greatest piece of advice is just to trust your gut and go with the people who you can trust and who seem to a) put in the effort to get to know you and your individual needs, and b) do NOT seem like they are simply out for the money.  Customer Service is equally important as talent in this field (in my opinion)
