HubSpot CMS Build & Relaunch

Sketch Development is a US-based software consultancy with strong brand guidelines and a clear design direction. They needed a HubSpot CMS developer who could match the quality of their design work — no compromise, no "close enough." 

Challenge

• Detailed, opinionated designs that needed to be built faithfully on HubSpot CMS
  
  
• Only a few pages had been designed — the rest needed to be created in the same visual language
  
  
• Required both deep platform knowledge and genuine design judgement

Solution

• Built a complete, custom HubSpot CMS theme — pixel-perfect to the original designs
  
  
• Extended the visual language to create remaining pages, maintaining consistency across the site
  
  
• Reusable components, flexible templates, and an intuitive editing experience for the marketing team
  
  
• Full documentation and user guide so the team could manage content independently

Outcomes 

• Complete, production-ready website delivered in under 12 weeks
  
  
• A flexible, yet guard-railed editing experience allowing for rapid, non-technical page building without breaking brand guidelines
  
  
• Marketing team fully self-sufficient
  
  
• New site up and running on-schedule with minimal downtime, and zero major issues

Our website redesign was a disaster. It was dragging on, and we were having very little success with agencies and freelancers. We only had a couple of pages designed. Then I connected with Reece.

He was able to create a beautiful, pixel perfect website that was true to the pages we did have. Then he further extended that design to create the rest of the pages.

He's fast, responsive, and technically excellent. Working with him was the best part of the entire website redesign project by far.

If I could do it all over again, I'd have only tried to get him involved from the jump so he could drive the design phase himself. He saved the day, honestly.

I'd recommend him to anyone.
