Background
Project summary:
Buildable developed a new WordPress website using WPBakery. They incorporated a fillable form, a translation plugin, an M.E. Calendar plugin, and a Donorbox plugin for donations.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I serve on the board of Henderson House, an advocacy center and emergency shelter for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Yamhill County, Oregon.
Opportunity / Challenge
What challenge were you trying to address with Buildable?
We had a very outdated website, so we needed a fully new website on a more user-friendly platform.
Solution
What was the scope of their involvement?
We requested a WordPress website with a fillable form, a translation plugin because a lot of our service recipients speak Spanish as a first language, a donations plugin, and a calendar functionality where our community could see the classes and events we had available.
We provided them with a site map. Buildable then used WPBakery as the page builder, incorporated an M.E. Calendar plugin, and implemented a Donorbox plugin as well.
What is the team composition?
I worked with a frontend business teammate who did quoting and provided business-related information, a web designer, and a technical support teammate.
How did you come to work with Buildable?
In December 2019, I began to explore what web developers were available to us locally. I met with three different design groups, and Buildable impressed me the most and gave me the most assurance that they’d be able to produce what we were looking for.
How much have you invested with them?
The original quote based on the site map we provided was between $7,500–$12,000. We ended up spending $8,367.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them from July–September 2020.
Results & Feedback
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We did a walk through with our staff, and they were enthusiastic. The website will serve as a tool for our staff to navigate resources and provide information to our clients. They were very happy with it. We believe that it’s exactly what we envisioned.
We had a goal of making up for some in-person fundraisers through a website reveal fundraiser, and we exceeded our financial goal ahead of time. To our knowledge, the website is hitting every mark.
How did Buildable perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management was fantastic. We felt that we were in good hands the whole time, and they were very responsive to our questions and requests.
Buildable delivered and built on our ideas, producing something that was even better than we had hoped. I was astonished by how quickly the website was built. I had weekly standup meetings with the web designer.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Buildable’s designers are well-versed in all of the tools that they use and it’s evident in what they create. I haven’t experienced any issues with the website, which has never happened to me before, so I have a lot of confidence in their technical team as well.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, nothing comes to mind. I was very happy with what they produced and how they produced it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I had an advantage because I had gone through the process of building a website, so I knew that it would take a lot of time on the site map and the vision. I would advise customers to come in with a very good idea of what they need or want, which will be helpful for the process and, ultimately, the budget.
