Bit of Web Design in Altrincham for HSH

Every now and then we get a distress call from a potential client, who has been let down by an existing agency, and are not happy with the progress of a project they have commissioned.
The special red Bat phone started ringing one morning, and we took a call from a local business who were near suicidal, after they had been repeatedly let down by a company redesigning their website, and they were really at the end of their tether. We sat down with the potential client, did a detailed spec of what they were looking for, created a detailed brief for the project and passed it to the client. They were initially sceptical that we could turn the project around in the timeframe we had detailed, but they decided to give oomagoo a go.
It’s not that often, from our experience, that you get clients in the design game who are actually up for a project which they have got you in to do, and actually know what they want and are prepared to allow your team to actually do what you do best, without sticking their oars in every 5 minutes. Enter the team at HSH (www.hsh.co.uk). From initial site wireframes, we got straight into the designs, and then within a heartbeat the guys were coding the site.

We decided to build the whole site on a Word Press framework, as we know that this would make the backend easy for HSH to use, and as such, it would mean they would use it. There is no point having an amazing looking web site, but them making it so complicated to use, that the client pulls their hair out every time they need to add something to the site. Also, with Word Press, it means that the client isn’t beholden to us, but can pretty much take the site to any half decent Word Press developer to continue work on, if we ever fell out. Thankfully we haven’t, and thankfully we hardly ever do.
So we now have a very happy client in Altrincham, who has a smart looking, very easy to use site, which will actually become a hard working business toll for them, and not a source of embarrassment for being so out of date.
And to make a great relationship even better, HSH are now referring oomagoo to all of their clients, who may need a new web presence for a new business they may have bought from them.
Great client, great to work with and a great business. A real pleasure.
