Heartstruck.com
HDIS recently completed the complete development and design
for an Internet dating site.
We discussed the new dating site ‘Heartstruck.com’,
with Jon Willis, the business owner. To start with we asked
him to describe the project from his perspective.
“To create from scratch, a web based business focusing
on the whole dating process, from initial contact to first
meeting, and so on. A web dating portal enabling any two
people to hold a conversation, or arrange to make plans
to meet, with possible romantic overtones.
Right from the out set, I wanted a professional looking
site that could perform with good functionality and smoothly.
The people using my site have to feel comfortable doing
so, because to many, even though they will be online, this
is a very personal thing they are doing.”
We asked why he chose HDIS to develop and design the site.
"I noted that there were a number of very highly
finished sites on HDIS’ portfolio. Seeing this gave
me added courage when approaching them for a quotation.
I found HDIS conscious of the fact that I was not a major
PLC, and that funds were not in major supply, however, they
treated me with courtesy at all times, they acted quickly
on any comments that I cared to raise, and the seemed to
get on the same wave length as me when I tried to put across
what I was looking for as a finished site.
As always in involving companies to deliver a finished
project on time and in budget, communication and information
flow is critical. Were you kept informed during the project?
“Yes, I was emailed by, not only the senior sales
people, but the designers, programmers, and project leader.
I felt I could approach any one of the team if I had a problem.
We stuck pretty much to the objectives set out originally,
and didn’t deviate. HDIS were able on many occasions
to put valid input into the meetings we held, with their
experience of dealing with web based solutions, which was
very valuable.”
Would you use HDIS again if internet work was required
by your company?
“Yes without hesitation and I would recommend HDIS
to other companies as there would be no hard sell, and I’m
sure that their client would be happy with the end result.”
