Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired Expedition to act as Omega's dedicated website maintenance & development partner. Our prior vendor was not able to meet our development needs and we sought out a partner with a strong balance of creativity and productivity to help us modernize our corporate website and ensure its continued functionality. We needed someone to keep our site running, troubleshoot issues and help us transition to a more efficient, modern development platform after previously working with a vendor who boxed us into a proprietary design. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Expedition has been a great partner and has helped us take significant steps to modernizing our website and building a more efficient platform for the future. Bradley is communicative, creative and transparent - helping us to not only solve problems with our existing website (created from prior vendor relationships) but also to proactively move toward platforms and styles that will keep our site healthy, stable and compliant for the future. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Bradley and the Expedition team have been fabulous to work with. We meet regularly to talk about upcoming projects and initiatives and brainstorm new ways to keep our site fresh and healthy. His creatively has shown through, mocking up new ideas in ways that are easy for our team to digest and compare so we can decide on the best path forward. He and his team are efficient, communicative and reliable - their maintenance plan has given us a confidence in our website that was missing with prior vendors.
