Where the business started

How it worked before

The touring vehicle requests form's labels vanished as you typed, and its only error message accused without specifying.

What it was costing the team

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

What we built

The rebuilt form labels everything persistently and reports errors in place. Nothing valid is lost on retry, travel dates, passenger count and intended route are requested, and optional fields say so.

  • Persistent labels
  • Inline errors
  • Retained field values
  • Keyboard focus
  • Optional-field labels

How long it took, and in what order

15 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.

Nothing valid is lost on retry, travel dates, passenger count and intended route are requested, and optional fields say so. The parts used were: Persistent labels, Inline errors, Retained field values, Keyboard focus, Optional-field labels.

Why is the business not named?

The client asked us not to publish its name or web address, so it is described by type and region: a off-grid campervan hire firm in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Irene Middlebrook, front office supervisor, is quoted in their own words.

Does this cost extra on top of a plan?

No. Work like this sits inside a managed plan rather than a separate project fee. Plans start at $127 a month, with a $697 one-time build fee invoiced only after the site is live and approved.
