The engagement
How the build ran, start to finish
In the client's own account: the starting point, the thing that kept getting in the way, and what was built to fix it.
Where they started
Everything about outsourced finance support depended on one form working perfectly. What visitors should do if it failed was never written down.
What was getting in the way
When it comes to outsourced finance support, visitors hitting an error scavenged the footer for alternatives. Staff had no routine check, so a failed form could go unnoticed for days.
What we built
The contact page now presents an alternative method, a meaningful error message and the details worth including in any follow-up. Delivery checks cover the fields for reporting needs, current software and reconciliation status and the exact destination the live form uses.
