Case Study - Castle First

Background

Castle First came to us with a request to create a presence for them online.

As is typical of so many businesses these days, although they don't sell directly online they were aware of the importance of having a website for several reasons:

  • to pick up enquiries from potential customers browsing the net
  • to refer contacts for further information
  • simply because their competitors have websites and they couldn't afford to be left behind

As is also typical of so many businesses, they had a limited budget with which to work.

For our solution see the panel on the right.

Challenges

Castle First wanted us to put together a site which developed a stylish look.
They have four different parts to the business, which means a lot of information has to be imparted but they wanted the site to be simple and accessible.
In addition, they needed everything put together in less than a week.

Solutions

The only material they had was a logo and a pdf document which we used as the backbone for the content on site.
We created a simple style incorporating pastel shaded panels to represent the different companies. This then translated in to a template which allowed for a header section, sidebar, property graphic and main content panel, everything which was needed for any given page.
Because there was a lot of information to get across, particularly in the Private Clients section, we created a set of questions with flash transition effects that revealed each of thea nswers in the main panel, rather than the reader having to scroll down a long page of text to find what they wanted.

Result

You can visit the finished website here. The client was very happy with the final product, enough to give us this testimonial.

"Boom Media put together a great site for us in very short time. It is everything we wanted and we have had a lot of favourable comment from our clients. Not only that but the cost was excellent. We would recommend them to anybody"
