The opportunity
Following our extensive integration work with the HubSpot CRM, we were introduced to HIT Training to help them address limitations they faced when using HubSpot workflows. As advanced users of HubSpot, primarily to manage their application and apprenticeship pipeline, HIT Training wanted to improve the structure of data and the user experience associated with completing online forms.
Our task was to develop a bespoke alternative to HubSpot forms, using an API to process the data. This would give them complete control over the entire process, from user experience and accessibility, to the formats of data collected.
The solution
Implementation
To achieve the best results, we worked closely with both the HIT team and their HubSpot consultants, HubGem. This allowed us full access to their knowledge base, enabling us to design and build the most effective solution.
Throughout the design process, we referred closely to the UK Government Digital Service guidelines and service standards. This enabled us to ensure best practices were followed and that all parts of the bespoke system were fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines.
Before going live, a period of testing and user feedback was undertaken, allowing us to make adjustments and adaptations based on trial feedback.
