Before
the build

A

Where they started

The auction collection guidance form's labels vanished as you typed, and its only error message accused without specifying.

B

Why it cost them time

Day to day with auction collection guidance, visitors could not tell which answer needed fixing. Trying again sometimes wiped information they had already entered correctly.

01 What we built

The build, lot by lot

The rebuilt form labels everything persistently and reports errors in place. Nothing valid is lost on retry, sale reference, lot number and collection question are requested, and optional fields say so.

Questions about this project

How long did this project take?

15 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?

Every enquiry routed into your CRM or inbox (Ring, Block, Rostrum); The policy and compliance pages, written in (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 estate clearance auction company in Roanoke, VA, with 9 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.
