When Technical Expertise Demands Technical Solutions

Storm Consultancy UK came to us with a problem that many technical service providers face: their existing website didn't reflect the sophistication of their actual capabilities. STORM provides a range of compliance services ranging from health & safety to care consultancy. Established in 2009 by Ex Forces Jonathan Cunningham MBE, this organisation is well experienced in pragmatic, no nonsense solutions for its clients. STORM excels in crisis management and just getting on with it. STORM - an attitude to life!

The initial brief was straightforward; they needed a complete rebuild that could showcase their portfolio of services. But as we dug deeper, it became clear they needed more than just a portfolio site.

Technical Architecture for Complex Requirements

Our first build focused on creating a robust foundation that could handle STORM's diverse project portfolio and service offerings. We implemented a flexible content management system that allowed them to showcase all services in detail.

The technical challenge was creating a platform that could effectively present diverse services to audiences with varying levels of knowledge. We built modular content structures that allowed detailed specifications for different audiences while providing clear business benefits for decision-makers.

Evolution Through Growth

When STORM returned for their first major rebuild, their service portfolio had expanded significantly. The platform needed to evolve to represent these advanced capabilities while maintaining performance and usability.

We rebuilt their service portfolio presentation to better showcase their offerings. This required developing new content structures that could explain complex service solutions while demonstrating real-world applications and measurable outcomes.

The second major rebuild addressed STORM's evolution into comprehensive consulting. Beyond just providing training, they were now providing public speaking, motivational events, and strategic advice. The platform needed to support these consulting relationships while maintaining focus on their core strengths.

Platform Performance and Scalability

Throughout multiple rebuilds, we've maintained focus on technical excellence in the platform itself. STORM's website serves as a demonstration of their capabilities, so performance, quality, and user experience needed to meet the same standards they deliver for client projects.

We implemented responsive design solutions that work seamlessly across devices while maintaining fast load times and smooth interactions. The technical portfolio sections use optimised image delivery and progressive loading to ensure quick access to project details without compromising visual quality.

Technical Partnership Evolution

Our ongoing relationship with STORM demonstrates how technical partnerships can evolve alongside business growth. Each rebuild has incorporated new technologies and approaches, reflecting both STORM's expanding capabilities and our own development expertise.

The multiple iterations have allowed us to refine technical approaches, test new development methodologies, and continuously improve platform performance. This iterative development process mirrors the agile approaches that STORM uses with their own clients.

We're currently in the process of helping Storm Consultancy UK transition to Odoo ERP to streamline their project management and client relationship processes across their diverse technical consulting engagements.
