Hex Digital provided front-end development services. The team worked on UI standardization, ensuring consistent design across defined pages by refining spacing, labels, buttons, and form fields. Hex Digital also standardized components such as menus, modals, and icons for a cohesive user experience.

Moreover, the team enhanced navigation and UX by improving usability with better search, filters, pagination, and table layouts. Hex Digital optimized screen space and introduced a new menu system to enhance accessibility and efficiency. The team also worked on a scalable design system.

Why did you select Hex Digital over others?

• Great culture fit
• Good value for cost
• Company values aligned

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

Following an extensive audit of Pembroke's digital presence, I discovered that it had a fractured ecosystem, which wasn't aligned to the business priorities. I searched within the US, UK and Europe for an agency that had the understanding of working with a global company, which catered to multiple audiences in different locations, each of which had different objectives from the website. 

The brief was explicit, we required the assistance to create a new website and digital strategy, based on existing data, as well as provide a solution that was flexible enough to align with websites that had to remain and smooth out the customer journey and user experience. Hex's response to the brief was exactly what we were looking for. 

They very quickly understood the challenges with our existing website and provided us with recommendations for improvement, taking the strengths of our existing website and optimising them for ease of the user, clearly demonstrating what elements required improvement and provided solution's for elements that confused the journey as well as provided a refreshed, dynamic and contemporary design.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A new website to be designed and launched before December 2023

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

The project management of the website was the easiest I have experienced. The team embedded themselves within Pembroke and quickly became an extension to the team, they were knowledgeable, passionate, and went above and beyond, especially when hit with a curve ball. 

Their agile approach to project management and delivery made my role easier, 9 times out of 10, they pre-empted additional questions I had and if they didn't know the answer, they would find out and always come back to me in a timely manner, and if they couldn't achieve what was requested, they would always provide me with an alternative.

The team always met deadlines provided and if there was unforeseen circumstances, Hex was quick to inform me if the deadlines wouldn’t be met, but would always provide a date to when the deliverable would be met
