The client in the project I worked on put a lot of pressure on us to build the website within a month. The prior vendor, which was more of a website design firm than a product design firm, was replaced by us. We were given the responsibility of flawlessly implementing a very sophisticated design because the prior site was really basic.

In just one week, Hookux created a wonderfully dynamic homepage. On the website, we changed fifteen pages. It had features like micro-animations, was consistent with the client's brand, and operated flawlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. Additionally, it was integrated with a careers provider and HubSpot.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The ability of Hookux to truly follow the designs is important, particularly for the more dynamic ones. They have delivered on the difficult designs we have given them.

The reaction from customers is overwhelmingly positive. Users are generally having a much better experience, and engagement and conversion rates are significantly higher.

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