This article's core is the dataSpheric Web Development Requirements Gathering Explained document which is given to clients in a short presentation in the early phases of a web project. Since you web surfers don't have the benefit of the presentation (and because the process, for most people, is completely non-intuitive), a little back ground is in order.

Like many of our dataSpheric web project management templates, this Web Project Requirements Gathering Explained document is packed with subtle hints and indicators for the client but this one isn't a worksheet, it's purely informational. It not only explains how our client's input is used in the development process but it lays out certain ground-rules. Requirements gathering, like any other website development phase, is tightly controlled by time and cost factors. It's imperative that clients realize that delays escalate project cost and duration. Altogether too often, clients seem to believe that the production process is "the web developer's job". This belief contains three fatal errors:We don't know exactly what you need to do your job. You don't know exactly what we need to do ours. Website design is determined by content. The first two points have to do primarily with web-enabled, that is, websites that do work like ecommerce or inventory management systems. The final point is most worthy of focus. Website design is in great part determined by content, not the other way around. The nature and quantity of information required by your website or your business is the single greatest determining factor in website design. And in the dataSpheric book, website design as a visual value is secondary to informational content. In other words, to us, what you say is more important than how you say it. To wrap up our introduction, our reasons for an exhaustive up-front requirements gathering process are to nail down how it should work and what it should say before the real money starts getting spent.
