Tower Systems retail business website questionnaire

Tower Systems small business retailer web development questionnaire

Helping you to define your needs so your website is more useful and valuable.
In addition to developing POS software for specialty small business retail, Tower Systems develops websites. These can be stand-alone or POS software connected. Click here to read more about our web development services.

To provide a more accurate proposal for the development of your website, or so you may gain a better understanding of your own needs, here is a questionnaire on POS connected websites for small business retailers.

Many web developers develop websites based in their capabilities and not so much to the requirements of the client.

We think it is important to start with your requirements. Hence this questionnaire. It seeks to help you clarify what you want.

WEBSITE CONTENT.

The content should include text for an About Us page, your business terms and conditions (although we can provide a standard set we use), text describing the business, text for all products to be loaded onto the site (from the products in your POS software).

When it comes to web development, you get what you pay for. Saving money may not be as good as it first seems as it could be that the saving is achieved by using an offshore web developer who is only available at certain times and who does not understand the social and commercial situation in which your business operates.

The Tower Systems web team is 100% based in Hawthorn, Victoria. All Tower clients have direct access to the development team, enabling open communication.

We will review your questionnaire responses and get back to you.

Thank you!
