A
Where they started
The previous site's knowledge left with its designer. Updating auction collection guidance information meant guessing or waiting.
20 Case study
Auction collection guidance documentation the team can actually use
Day to day with auction collection guidance, the team holds a usable operating reference from day one after launch. A colleague covering an absence can find the right person and follow documented steps without reconstructing the project's history.

Why it cost them time
For auction collection guidance, nobody internally knew the procedures: who approves, how to request, what to check. Ordinary maintenance waited on one person's diary.
01 What we built
The build, lot by lot
The handover packages a page inventory, update instructions and a contact list, plus a short guided check of the route to a collection clarification from the sale office. Ownership of buyer terms and loading arrangements sits with a named person and a named backup.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
25 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock starts once the client has approved the content. The launch times on the pricing page (7 days on Ring) count from the onboarding call instead, so the two figures are measured from different starting points.
Which plan covers the work in this case study?
A client portal for revisions, tickets and files (Ring, Block, Rostrum); Your domain, in your name, and your content back if you leave (Ring, Block, Rostrum). All of it is on every plan, from Ring at $127 a month, with the $697 build fee invoiced only after launch.
Why is the client not named?
The client is described by type and town on purpose: a agricultural equipment auction house in Lexington, KY, with 12 staff. The quote is published with the named contact's permission. We never publish a client's business name, logo or web address on a case study.
