HDM Success Story: Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association
We recently came into contact with the
Home Builders Association of Hilton Head. In our communications, we
eventually worked together to shed some light on company goals in the
online arena, and thereby isolate certain deficiencies with their
current web presence at the time.
They had certain things they wanted to
accomplish – things they knew would bolster their brand
name, their productivity, and the reach of their message. By making
use of the latest web development technologies, we were able to help
them accomplish what they needed to for the best interest of their
business.
We're not trying to sound our own horns
here – that's not the purpose of this post. What we are
trying to do is observe some common problems that we find to be
shared by many businesses today. What we have here are real life
solutions in action.
If you keep reading, you may find that
your current web operation shares similar struggles to that of HBAHH.
Which, of course, means you could benefit from our
respectively applied solutions.

Head Area Home Builders Association
The Hilton Head Area Home Builders
Association is a non-profit professional trade association made up of
more than 450 member companies. Their resources, services, and
capabilities are extremely far-reaching.
They needed a website that could
ultimately portray the combined services, grand in scope, provided by
all of the member companies. They also needed a way to succinctly
provide the lush amount of information regarding member benefits, for
all potential companies seeking to join. Finally, they needed a way
to easily maintain communication, not just with the member companies,
but for all potential members as well. This is just the tip of the
iceberg.
The Power of an HDM Custom Website
With a member directory this massive,
and a collection of information so vast, HHAHBA needed a way to have
all of it on hand without running a bulky, unnavigable behemoth of a
website. Using the latest web applications, and taking advantage of
the functionality that is built into every single HDM custom website,
we were able to feed the information directly into the front end.
Thus, we gave the appearance of over
450 individual web pages, while only having to maintain a handful.
Now, the member directory can easily be combed by category, or a user
may search for individual names. The final product is resourceful for
users, easy for the company to maintain, and altogether, not too bad
on the eyes.
Finally, we have made their new custom
website responsive,
meaning it can be viewed across all platforms. For a website that
demands information at a moment's notice, this facet of web design
becomes incredibly helpful. Rather than having to pinch and zoom on
your smart phone, or search for the right button on your tablet, this
website is going to look and work beautifully no matter the size –
that is, it automatically changes in shape and design based on the
viewing device.
The Results
“Just a month
after releasing our newly redesigned website to the public and to our
members, we have seen astounding increases in our member
participation and consumer requests.”
– Ashley Feaster, Executive Officer for Hilton Head Area Home
Builders Association
Aside
from the increase in usage, the HHAHBA has big plans for their new
online business tool over the next few months – especially since
they have just expanded their territory to include all of the
Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, and Colleton counties.
Using
the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) that is implemented into every
HDM custom website, they can easily store all of their customer
information within a single database. This means they will easily be
able to maintain communication with everybody – with the click of a
few buttons, all of the relevant parties will be receiving a weekly
newsletter. What used to take hours to do, an individual can now
accomplish in mere minutes.
Furthermore,
the collective can now take greater advantage of exciting events and
new memberships, thanks to the E-Commerce functionality of their
custom website. Already, this has made it easier for participants to
get involved, and make use of the necessary resources. HHAHBA has
already seen a positive impact on their bottom line because of this
feature.
Finally,
it will be easy for this group to stay organized with their efforts
over the coming years, now that all of their systems have been
condensed into one, comprehensive interface, available from anywhere.
Should they run into any snags along the way, they will be receiving
consistent updates, assistance, and reliable support from the Hazel
Digital Media team.
