Hi [Name],
Thanks for reaching out. I saw your message about [project/service]. The best next step is a quick call so I can understand what your business needs, what customers should do on the site, and whether a new website or revamp makes the most sense.
If you already have a website, send it over before the call so I can take a look.
Thanks,
Matt
