The Brief
Electrical contractors MEGA Electrical, came to me with the desire to use their existing workforce of electrical engineers to start suppling and installing Electrical Vehicle (EV) Charging Points. Wanting to target Commercial and Domestic installations, it was important that the purchase process was simple for all demographics.
Usability
The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) offers grants to those purchasing in a domestic setting, providing they fill out a grant form. The form was repetitive and troublesome to complete for those not so computer-literate, so after a research phase a decision was made to recreate the form. The user is now faced with a popup box if they choose to apply for a grant, in which they can fill out their details in a way that is significantly more user friendly.
When it comes to the day of installation, a copy of the grant form is automatically populated with the customers information and sent to the engineer to verify on-site.
We approached Ollie to design and build an e-commerce website to sell electric car chargers and their installation. We had an idea of what it was that we wanted and how we wanted it to work. This project was a very product specific build with several technical problems to overcome with regards grant forms and required evidence amongst other things. Ollie took on board all our requirements and managed to find solutions to every hurdle and has built a website that has exceeded our expectations.
We found Ollie easy to work with and an excellent communicator. Throughout the process there was a constant dialogue which made everything run smoothly. He kept us updated with the project with regular review meetings which we found very useful as we could make small tweaks as we were going along and his input was invaluable.
By building MegaEV.co.uk Ollie has built a website of which we are very proud and I hope that he is too. I would highly recommend Ollie to anyone who is looking to have a website built and would not hesitate in using him again on future projects.
Thank you
