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

We needed a fully e-commerce-based website as part of the next phase of our business. Our goal, is to gradually move more from showroom-based sales, to online sales which will enable us to compete with national companies. To achieve this, our new website needed to be clean, vibrant and present all of the relevant information clearly without being 'cluttered'. 

However, the most important thing was that our new website appealed to our core demographic, 45-55-year-olds, of which not all are familiar with the technology. So, above all else the website had to be easy to use/ navigate. We're a relatively small team, as such were looking for ways to reduce the time our salespeople would take conducting a sale. 

Before the launch of the new site, we would have to spend hours going through all of the relevant products, key considerations, what was needed before delivery, the different payment options. We wanted customers to have had the opportunity to absorb all of this information before calling us or visiting the showroom, freeing our guys up to work on their leads and ultimately close more sales. 

Plus, having all of the relevant information on the new site would make training up new salespeople much easier. As we have such an extensive product range, this has been quite time-consuming in the past. One of the main features that we needed was a finance calculator which could be adapted from product to product. This isn't easy to do, which is why it's not something that any of our current competitors have. 

We also wanted customers to be able to price up their own products, choose their finance package and then add it to the cart. As mentioned, we have a range of around 300+ products, with around 150 of them being complex, high-ticket items £3,000 - £55,000 each. 

With such an extensive range it was important to us that we could have an easy to use, user friendly filter system. We also requested that core information was displayed on the listing section, so that users could compare and contrast different products before clicking on them. Ultimately making the buying process easier.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Firstly, I would like to say that this has not been an easy project. However, Chris and the whole of the Creative Branding team have been especially attentive. Ensuring at every point that I was 100% happy before we moved forward. I requested to be involved in the development and wireframing process which I was from the beginning. 

I have consistently been surprised by how professional they are and how well they work together as a team. The measurable outcome is that I am extremely happy with our new website, within just a week of launching the new site we had two sales through the store amounting to £10,000. We are ranking for keywords which we never have before and again, the website has only been live for a few weeks. 

Every customer has commented on how great and easy to use the site is and our engineers have successfully used it to download manuals and key information. I can not recommend these guys enough, we have other projects in the pipeline of which I will most certainly be using Creative Branding. 

In my opinion, we have the best website out of any of our competitors. Thank you, guys, for being so amazing and getting any issues that we had resolved in record time. I genuinely couldn't be happier with their service.

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

The project management was brilliant, as mentioned I had requested to be involved in the wire-framing and envelopment process. During the design stages, I was able to provide feedback on the project through 'In vision' which I felt was seamless. Chris clearly has a fantastic team of people working with him who all communicate effectively. 

The project was delivered to me on time (admittedly I held things up as I loaded the site with all of the information we had, which took time.) If I am honest, I have changed my mind a few times with certain things and fair play to the team, they were more than happy to accommodate which I appreciate must have been very frustrating. But, not once have they complained or refused to do something for me. 

Customer service is clearly at the forefront of everything that they do. Following on from that, there have also been new features that I thought of as we moved along with the project, again the team was happy to accommodate. They're easy to deal with and professional throughout.

What was your primary form of communication with Creative Brand Design?

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

The most impressive thing about this company is their attention to detail, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile. Of course, they create absolutely stunning websites which I really can't fault. We have had a website created by another company in the past, this was a completely different experience. This just goes to show, buy cheap, buy twice.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Creative Brand Design could have done differently?

None at all, really can't fault them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an executive director for Swiss Finance Corporation - my role is to manage the commercial direction of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Creative Brand Design?

Our website was created over 15 years ago and had become outdated. Our development team had limited design skills so we hired Creative to provide the site design for us. By doing this, we were hoping to increase our traffic substantially by the end of the year.

SOLUTION

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

We looked at a number of vendors via online channels in our area and selected Creative for their industry experience, friendly team and affordability.

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

After a series of discovery meetings to discuss our goals, we received several designs for the main page on the site. Once we chose a theme, they finalised the design and provided feedback through InVision. This allowed us to show them how we wanted the rest of the site to look. The vendor came back to us with designs for our other pages, including an updated "contact us" form.

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

In total, we worked with 4 people including a project manager, two designers, and a QA resource during the final phase.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their documentation was very thorough. Our developers were able to implement their design easily, and the overall look is much more user-friendly. Site traffic has increased by 70% and we continue to hear positive feedback and compliments from visitors about the design.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager was easy to communicate with and provided us frequent updates. We had both in-person and phone calls, but most of the feedback was through Slack. Everything was delivered on time and we received ample warning if a deadline wasn't going to be me

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

We were impressed by the knowledge they had about website design, UX, and optimization. We appreciated that bthey were patient and thoughtful while we came up to speed.

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

Things could always be done faster, but quality is more important than speed and we ended up with a great website design and layout.
