Helios Design's first project with the company was to develop audience-specific microsites. Since they demonstrated great work, they were hired again to craft complex interactive client tools and mobile apps.

Throughout the years, they have developed outstanding works and a number of them received awards. The Helios Design team utilized OpenCMS on their projects. Given their consistent and effective solutions, the company gained several customers requesting the production of new sites.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I worked with Helios for many years while I was Senior Online Communication Manager at DLA Piper, the world's largest law firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Helios Design, and what were your goals?

Helios was initially hired to develop audience-specific microsites, such as a careers site for graduates. Their impressive qualities and technical expertise meant they were subsequently commissioned to create technically complex, interactive bespoke client tools and also mobile apps. Several of the their projects won awards.

SOLUTION

How did you select Helios Design and what were the deciding factors?

Helios were selected for their design skills, value for money and the quality of materials during the selection process.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Helios use OpenCMS and provided end-to-end services on all projects, from high quality proposals to post launch suggestions for continuous improvement (which makes them unique in my experience).

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

This varied across projects but the technical lead and project/design lead (the co-founders of Helios) were fully engaged in every project and at every step.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Helios deliver outstanding work, which is why so many stakeholders in the firm requested sites and why Helios were commissioned to build so many projects.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Helios know how to work with partner-owned professional services firms and adapt their project management style accordingly. This means having to be flexible enough to meet challenging deadlines at short notice and at the other extreme, await required content or input that is long overdue from the client whilst politely making them aware of the implications of delay. Their communication is excellent and their timelines realistic.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They give 110%. The quality of their work and attention to detail is second to none.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

They are simply the best agency I've ever worked with.
