Scenario
Sunholm Solar Inc. is a startup company that intends to design, finance, install, and maintain residential solar power systems for homeowners across the United States. Sunholm Solar was founded 3 months ago by a group of executives from established solar companies who decided to strike out on their own. The new company has been refining its business plan, securing financing, hiring staff, and preparing to launch operations about 2 months from now. Sunholm's next priority is to begin work on a company website, a key element of the firm's aggressive marketing plan. To keep their internal staff to a minimum, Sunholm executives wish to contract with an independent web developer to create their site. They are now interviewing candidates and gathering ideas about how to proceed.
Role
You are an independent web developer being considered by Sunholm Systems for the job of designing and building its new website. The initial interviews went well; company executives are impressed with your background and qualifications. You are now meeting with some of the company's key personnel to learn more about their goals and plans for the site. On the basis of what you learn in this meeting, you will prepare a general specification memo that outlines your initial ideas for the site. You hope this memo will convince the Sunholm executives that you are the best developer for the job.
