Bukwild for Veriforce

Lisa and Matt were brief but clear: Veriforce is in need of a site update...not just from a design and functionality place, but almost as critically, from a content place. After reviewing requirements and considering the main points we discussed (more on those below), we find ourselves exactly staffed and well-practices for this assignment.

Overall, our understanding and experience with this type of site is very high, and we believe that our tailored program for Discovery will fill in the gaps on the brand, its goals, and the best way to achieve our stated performance indicators.

Identified Needs + Requirements

These items showed up in our initial discussion(s) and/or came to mind as things to watch out and/or plan for in the coming project.

Hot Start: Pardot Landing Pages

These items showed up in our initial discussion(s) and/or came to mind as things to watch out and/or plan for in the coming project.

Project Approach + Options

Our approach to a project like this one will always start with our robust Discovery program. In this, we run project stakeholders on the client side through a handful of workshops (Brand, Loyalty/UX, Technical, and Priorities) in order to set the rest of the project up for success. The priorities workshop, in particular, is intended to catch any and all viable ideas that come up in our discussions, and organize them to fit into our predetermined schedule and budget.

After Discovery, things speed up and we move into UX and Design concepting. It's here that the client team will be presented with options for how the site will look and feel, along with any other user-facing interactions or features we agreed upon in Discovery.

From there, we begin development setup while production design is being completed. During our technical Discovery, we'll establish a shared understanding for everything the site needs to do at launch (and beyond), and make a recommendation for the various technologies required for the stack.

Pardot Landing Pages

In addition to our main website project (and likely running concurrently with our Discovery, but not after), We'll work with the Veriforce team to leverage their existing Pardot landing page instance, and extend it into several new landing pages that can be used while the main site is being refreshed.

Internationalization

Our recommendation of Craft CMS for the main website work contributes hugely to the ease and speed with which we can add multiple languages to the site. We'll work with you to determine a best-practice strategy for how the site shows up in other languages, be they partial translations or full, and a workflow for how to update things on the backend.

Scheduling

We traffic and schedule projects once we have an executed SOW and a project manager has been assigned. Our target for you would be to have a kickoff w/ Discovery scheduled within two weeks of receiving that signature.

30-Day Support Window

Upon launch or final handoff, Bukwild keep the project team activated for 30 days to assist with bugfixes, minor changes, training, and other required support.

Ongoing Support

This project is a perfect introduction to how it feels to work with Bukwild in an ongoing support subscription. We meet with our client teams quarterly to plan and organize the tasks to be done on the website, and allow time in each week's sprint for support tasks, bugs, and other short-notice items. Our support plans start at $8k per month.
