Nangle+Partners is a consulting company with a very focused expertise: the specialized education software industry. They help small to medium-sized education companies market tech products, with a focus on “sales, marketing consultancy and K-12 sales force.” Toby Nangle came to Hop Studios because he wanted to have a sharp, professional online presence.
The Nangle+Partners web site went smoothly from start to finish; it was one of our faster and most enjoyable projects of 2009. Partially, this was because it had simple, easy-to-understand requirements, and partially this was due to the help of our co-producers on this project, Turner-Riggs, who brought us this development project.
Since this was a brand new site, the first steps were to select and register a domain, set up hosting and install ExpressionEngine. Custom EE functionality included setting up a blog and two contact forms for potential clients to join the Nangle VAR network. These forms sent an email and also created a special database where the contact information could be stored and exported. The site design was kept clean with lots of white space, a minimal color palette, and simple site navigation. Think: white board. We also made tools for Toby, a person who would rather not learn complex HTML, so that he could change his site’s header images, and every bit of copy on the site without having to use any special tools.
We worked closely with Turner-Riggs to streamline content and create the copy for the site, and compressed the launch schedule to get it done in time for the holidays.
It was easy working with Hop Studios. They proved to be a very responsive and flexible partner in the development of my website. They turned the project around quickly and with the highest degree of quality. I look forward to working with them again in the future and am most comfortable offering my full endorsement in the meantime.
