Reinventing John Gaunt & Partners' online presence

Handling very large web design projects is always a challenge – especially when the client we're working for trades on the utmost professionalism and a wide array of complex legal services. Fortunately, these are exactly the kind of projects we at Evoluted thrive on.

Our latest was for John Gaunt & Partners, a Sheffield-based alcohol and entertainment licensing practice. The company needed to completely reinvent their online presence, and asked us to provide everything from branding design, to website development, to email marketing.

Custom CMS and online booking features

John Gaunt & Partners' new website also required some special features that would enable them to meet the specific needs of their clients. We built an integrated online booking system, which allows clients to book and pay for training courses online via the site.

A content management system (CMS) - which we custom-built to fit with John Gaunt & Partners' goals and workflow - enables the firm to easily add new content, including the superb images they sourced from the clients they represent. Our Director Ash Young, a great believer in the benefits of CMS, commented:

"By building a custom CMS we were able to deliver the highly polished, visually impressive website that the client really wanted, while also allowing them to update content themselves. The system works the way John Gaunt's staff need it to – as we believe any good CMS should."

Expertly managing large web projects

Such a large project required delivery in stages, over several months – a process that allowed us to build an excellent working relationship with the client. Managing Partner John Gaunt said:

"It was a pleasure to work with such a creative and hard-working design team. We had great communications with Evoluted throughout the process, and their ideas and technical skill impressed us at every stage. We're delighted with the new website and look forward to continuing the development of our online business with Evoluted in the future."

John Gaunt & Partners' new website is now live at www.john-gaunt.co.uk. We're currently developing their email marketing.
