This is what I do when I start a new design, follow these steps has really helped me to not getting stucked building the website's structure. Let me know your thoughts about this.

Private Group: Members Posts: 11 Joined: 29-September 08 From: Scranton, PA Member No.: 1,192	I like to help out clients by giving them example "buzzwords" for the theme of their site, such as; happy, corporate, playful, techy, modern, retro, boutique, etc. Sometimes I have problems getting answers out of the client. Most of the time they say "you're the expert" and after I finish the mockup, THEN suddenly they have a very big opinion. I found the best way to combat that is to inform them as much as possible so they feel they can be an important part of the design process. A lot of clients are simply just intimidated by design and don't feel like what they say makes sense... or they don't know how to convey what they want in a visual manner. So I send them a questionnaire with a lot of examples and reference links so they can familiarize themselves with what answers I'm looking for. It seems to work pretty well. Good post!
