Basis for Project Survey

For the basis of my survey I will look at finding out the following information to leverage my recommendation for the Project at hand:

• Minimal Required Functionality : What will the website be used for (i.e. Winery promition / Wine Sales / Information etc)
• User constraints : What limitations will users visiting the site have (i.e. Bandwidth / Browser limitations)
  
• User preferences : How do users want Web site to act? Are the users familiar with web-browsing or are users new to the internet? Do your users have cookiephobia? (IE 6 has a default configuration that blocks many cookies). Fast downloads with few graphics or lots of streaming audio & video?
• User habits : How do users currently carry out tasks? Do users view competitor's sites?
  
• Existing Systems : What kinds of systems (i.d.home PC etc) do users operate?
  
• User dislikes : What do users hate about the existing site or comparible sites?
  
• Personal Data : Who are users? How old are they? What's their level of Internet know how? How educated are they? What sites do they use the most? Are they current customers of potential customers? Where do they live? How many computers do they have at home?
