Please describe your company and your position there.

Grove Park Design is a graphic design and content company working with a wide range of different SMEs. We're the directors the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We regularly hire Offshorly to translate our design and branding concepts into fully mobile optimised websites with Wordpress CMS

One of our most recent projects was for Thrive. Thrive was launching as a new recipe box company in the UK, with healthy eating and true sustainability at the heart of this farm to fork business. We needed a site that design wise would reflect their positioning in this busy market. Importantly, the site needed to tell their story, allow for regular articles to be shared and most importantly sell their products. Budget wise, we needed to be mindful of the fact that this was a new family run business.

SOLUTION

How did you select Offshorly and what were the deciding factors?

Their response to our initial conversation was spot on, the costing reasonable and they came highly recommended from trusted partners. 

When it came to Thrive, Offshorly were fantastic from start to finish. From the first conversations they understood exactly what we needed from a tech point of view and came up with all the right ideas to help us achieve what we wanted without breaking the bank. Design wise, they nailed the brief instantly.

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

What we ended up with was a two phase project. First up was a fully mobile responsive WordPress site that was beautifully designed and that incorporated a really modern looking articles section, that allowed the client to quickly and easily add new content. Whenever there were questions about functionality, the Offshorly team were right there to advise. 

From a design perspective, they were meticulous in helping us get exactly the look and feel we were looking for and were very supportive in our conversations with the end client. 

The second phase was the introduction of the e-commerce element. Here they advised us to go with Shopfiy, which proved to be a fantastic solution. It plugged into the site and the move from site to shop is seamless with a consistent look and feel. They identified a theme that exactly matched the needs of the client and again nailed the look and feel. 

With Shopify being so easy to use, it meant the shop was up and running quickly and the client was able to evolve it over time which is what they wanted. Again they were always on hand o help with queries.

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

Four to five people - we had both Directors involved, a designer and a couple of developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The website was launched on time and within budget, across both phases and the client was really happy. For us this was the best outcome.

Our clients have all been exceptionally pleased with the websites delivered. How they look, perform and ease of use. They have also seen great improvements in their organic SEO following the launch of their updated websites.

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

For the most part we communicated via phone and email and had the odd video call too. They are very communicative and are always quick to respond to queries. They were upfront about how long the project would take and realistic about timelines, which means there were no nasty surprises. 

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

Their willingness to help and make sure that you get what you're looking for, even if this means them going above and beyond what their scope of work is. Their help and advice from a tech point of view was invaluable.

Ultimately, our clients receive a professional site which is easy to use and in line with the new branding we design. They are a fantastic technical partner and very much part of our future growth plans.

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

Any issues were quickly resolved and they were always clear on their position.

We were looking for a partner to design, develop, project managed and launch our new website and web offerings as a fully managed but customized service.

SOLUTION

We went through a beauty parade of several providers in what is an extremely crowded space packed with Dev Shops. Offshorly stood out because of their excellent service, highly skilled team, passion for creativity, enduring flexibility and dedication to innovation and quality. With a proven track record of delivering and impressive pitch / project outline it became clear that they were the right partner who we could trust.

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

We had a kick off meeting with our dedicated Offshorly project team, described our ideas for web content, site design and feature engineering, and then went through an informative and valuable consultative process during which they delivered mock ups, wireframes and a Wordpress landing page with a customer form and other useful tools.

They listened to our feedback and customized according to our requirements, including great advice about maximizing the visitor experience and retention. It was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. The site is designed to be flexible and scalable so after the completion of this initial phase - which was delivered on time, on budget and on spec - we plan to continue working with them to expand our site, capabilities and services.

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

They provided us with a professional site that is easy to update and multilingual which is critical to our regional and global business. My team was not familiar with Wordpress and they took the time to train us up on the content management system so we can easily update ourselves.
