Explanation

Stakeholders are the correct answer because they represent everyone with a vested interest in the project's outcome - clients, end users, managers, marketing teams, and others whose needs must be understood before development begins. Gathering stakeholder input during the initial planning meeting ensures the site aligns with business goals, user requirements, and organizational constraints.

Shareholders (A) are incorrect because they hold financial equity in a company but don't necessarily have direct involvement in or knowledge of a website's functional requirements. Web developers (C) and graphic designers (D) are implementation roles - they execute the vision rather than define it; their input comes later in the design and development phases, not the initial planning stage.

Memory tip: Think of stake as "having something at stake" - anyone who cares about the outcome is a stakeholder. If the website fails, stakeholders are affected; shareholders just watch the stock price.
