Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I am the interactions ruler for the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Cabrini Sisters. We’re an interpolitical order of pious women.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with ePageCity?
We wanted to increase the name recollection of the Missionary Sisters and exalt awareness that the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart is equated with Mother Cabrini. We’re trying to exalt awareness that one equals the other.
In accession to that, the sisters are always looking for nation who could be seeking a pious life as their profession. We have a rather extensive section on our website that nation can visit to acquire more almost the Missionary Sisters and descry whether or not they might be interested in joining.
The purpose was two-fold: our branding (name recollection) as well as professional furtherance.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
They developed the website using WordPress. When we did a website cool, we created a new homepage with them and tweaked some inner pages as well.
It was a very methodic process.
They were very detailed oriented almost walking us through what to anticipate at true points of the process. They explained what they would need from us and what they, in turn, would give. They created a checklist of our wants and desires, and they walked us through an overview of how the website would portray our structure.
Was there a dedicated team?
From set to complete, we worked with 4–5 nation. We initially worked with someone who was in sales or marketing.
Once we contracted with them, we were also assigned a web designer who had an inner team she worked with. We also worked with Jessica (Account Manager, ePageCity) who covered more of the business side.
How did you come to work with ePageCity?
I asked a webmaster for his advice almost hiring a web design firm given our budget constraints. He commended a couple of local firms in Philadelphia, and he said he had heard of ePageCity in Chicago.
We did phone interviews with two local firms here in Philadelphia, ePageCity, as well as another design firm. ePageCity was able to work within our budget constraints while providing a wide fruit, labor, and design elements. This was far over what anyone else could do, so we determined to go with them.
How much have you invested in them?
The leading time, the total redo cost about $16,000. When we did the cool, we spent less than $4,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We worked with them on the newly designed website in 2014, and the cool happened in late 2017 through soon 2018.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
The fruit that they gave us for the quantity that we were able to bestow (we didn’t have a huge budget) was both excellent and phenomenal.
We’ve had a expressive increase in the number of inquiries we’re receiving through the website. We’ve noticed a 50% increase in profession inquiries through our website since 2014.
Now, we’re looking at how to swell our online interrogation page to capture more information from those who are inquiring with us.
Our experience with ePageCity was so good that we did our website cool with them. We had no doubt we’d go right back to ePageCity owing of the big job they did the leading time about.
How did ePageCity accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Without reservation, I would wonderfully commend ePageCity to anyone. Their support labor is 24/7. They are always there to feel my inquiries as I’m not a technology individual.
I do all the uploading on the WordPress platform, and they walk me through the tutorials. It was a lot to veritably seize at leading, and I could call them back with repeated questions, but they were always very resigned and very answering.
Initially, when we were deciding which firm we wanted to hire, we were in touch with them at smallest once a week. Then, once we signed the contract, we did a lot of upfront consultation. Then, we were in touch a couple of times per month.
Following that, they would let us know when they needed full by sending requests. The second time we did the cool, we held some dicsussions a couple of times a week or once a week. It was far less intense than the total revamp of our website.
From each stage of the process, we establish that they were very answering and very detailed in their exprogramations. They’re based in Chicago and we’re in suburban Philadelphia, so we never met face to face. It was all conducted via Zoom. Yet, we felt the total process was very individualal.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
It was a seamless collaboration. Everyone was very well-inclined and appreciative of the fact that we were not technology nation. They veritably clarified things for us and didn’t take we would know the things that we were presenting.
They didn’t seem to rush through anything and were always careful, resigned, and wide in their responses. They took the time to get to know who we were as an structure and how we wanted to be portrayed on the internet.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
This relates to me individualally owing I’m not a technology expert. When the website propeles, they give you a tutorial. For me, it was a lot to seize in a brief quantity of time. My commendation would be to fracture the tutorial down into more soundbite types of modules so it’s not so much material at one time.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
You have to have a good knowledge of how you want to appear through your website to the open. You have to do your homework preceding to meeting with that owing that will help them program their timeline. You should be prompt to prepare them with your deliverables so they can move to the next phase.
If you aren’t prompt to prepare them with the information they request, they will put the project aside until the client is prompt, which ultimately delays your propel. We were able to meet their requests successfully all along, so we met all of our anticipateations for the timeline
