4CDesignWorks was assigned to redesign an engineering consulting company's website with WordPress. The client hired them for their low-pressure attitudes.

The client was pleased with 4CDesignWorks' web design and subsequent support. They were patient in supporting with their WordPress software, as well. Most of all, they were able to handle the complexities of designing for manufacturing and other technical service companies.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

VP of Marketing - Sales, Marketing, Advertising, Web Site Manager

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 4CDesignWorks?

Our website was becoming out-dated so we had it re-designed. The first version was in 2015, which was a HTML site. The second (WordPress) version was initiated in June 2019 and finished Feb 2020. (I had the dates wrong on the form)

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I had met a salesman from 4CTechnologies and we had a great rapport - there was no high pressure, which I had from a different local company.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The creative designer met with us to discuss our capabilities and what we were looking for - which was a blend of technical showcase with an artistic flair. We met with Josh several times to hammer out a few details. Josh designed a site which we were very impressed.

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

We worked extensively with Josh Schmitt - their Graphic & Creative Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We were quite pleased with the website design and subsequent support.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I was the primary contact with Josh - and quite pleased with the workflow. My background was with HTML, and Josh was quite patient in supporting me with the WP software.

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

I have seen their prior work. They were able to handle the complexities of designing for manufacturing and other technical service companies.

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

Can't think of any. There were a couple of support issues when they were in transition from moving office space, but that was to be expected.

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

We have been working with 4CDesignWorks since 2006, primarily for the creation and maintenance of our websites, which is more of a "three in one" structure, since we operate three businesses serving the Western Pennsylvania funeral industry. Not only does 4C maintain our website, but we have also found them to be helpful on other areas of marketing, including digital strategies and SEO.
They also help with our print advertising and client proposals. Because we are a small business, these functions must be outsourced, and over the years, we have found 4C to be a great fit.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This is most evident in our pet crematory operation, known as "Oakcrest." This company was launched in 2005. Because of 4CDesignWork's expertise in web development, keywords, digital advertising, and SEO, we have done very little in terms of investment to promote our services. Yet this company has experienced rapid growth year over year, and our competitive differentiators have been clearly communicated The return on investment is extraordinary.

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

As a third generation small business, I believe in the benefits of hiring local. Most of 4C's services were done in person. They are always available when we call, quickly responding to our needs. I like the fact that they take the time to explain things to me. There has never been any reason to go anywhere else, and we fully appreciate their service.

What was your primary form of communication with 4CDesignWorks?

In-Person Meeting
Email or Messaging App

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

Creatively, I think they are one of the best in the city. I'm always impressed with their ability to extend our brand and think outside the box. Sometimes, they give us too many graphic design options and it is difficult to make a final selection. They are conscientious and they have really made an effort to research and understand our industry and our local competition. No question, for us, 4C is a great partner.

Are there any areas for improvement or something 4CDesignWorks could have done differently?

I can't think of anything I would change.

Project summary

4CDesignWorks designed and developed a WordPress site from scratch for a design-build firm. They also conducted client and competitive research and redesigned the client's company logo and marketing materials.

Feedback summary

4CDesignWorks' work received overwhelmingly positive responses from the client's employees, prospective employees, and customers. The responsive, accommodating team was always eager to help and provided valuable insights throughout. Their extensive industry knowledge and expertise were impressive.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of HR at a design-build firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 4CDesignWorks?

We needed to improve, modernize, and upgrade our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

4CDesignWorks designed and developed a WordPress website for us from scratch. They were also involved in redoing our company logo and updating our marketing materials. They initially conducted research on our clients and our main competitors as well as how our logos have changed over the past few years. They also made some presentations for us so that we could understand the need to make those changes and which direction we should go.

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with two people from 4CDesignWorks, Kathy (Director & Strategic Planning and Development) & Josh (Senior Graphic Designer).

How did you come to work with 4CDesignWorks?

We knew Kathy from prior business relationships, and that’s why they were invited to present and bid on the project. 4CDesignWorks had also done a website for us many years ago, but they haven't done any other work for us until this project.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $70,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–November 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We don't have any metrics right now on traffic increase. But the response from our employees, prospective employees, and clients has been overwhelmingly positive.

How did 4CDesignWorks perform from a project management standpoint?

4CDesignWorks performed well in terms of project management. They were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. Kathy, my main contact person, taught me a lot and explained things in a way I could understand. They’re very easy to work with and on top of their game.

We typically communicated through phone calls, emails, and Zoom and on-site meetings. If we wanted them here on-site, they would come on-site. It was also very easy to get hold of them through the phone whenever we had any questions.

What did you find most impressive about them?

4CDesignWorks’s depth of knowledge was impressive. They were able to answer all of the questions we had. Putting this website together was a big task for us, but they made it seem easy because of their experience. It wasn't an easy assignment for them because they did have to start the project from the beginning, but they handled everything beautifully.

Another thing that we appreciated was that even after the project was done, we still had a close-out meeting to make sure everything was going well. Even as late as this week, I've been in touch with them about potentially making some changes because we've decided we wanted to add something more to the website.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.
