Brandons Moving Boxes

Any challenges can be overcome with the right people.

What an inspiring journey we went on with Brandon and his incredible parents Rob and Simone. Brandon is a young man with non-verbal Autism and loads of energy and creativity. His family have helped create a business and future around his abilities, not his disabilities. Brandon’s Moving Boxes is a service to provide reusable, durable boxes and crates with the convenience of delivery and pick up for people moving office or house.

We loved working with these beautiful people, they are warm, fun and absolutely dedicated to making sure that Brandon has a business that he has the capabilities for that gives him opportunity for socialisation and growth.

Challenges

Rob & Simone are very busy people but their dedication to their son Brandon’s independence has led them to create a business to encourage Brandon’s skills, interests and abilities and that they could run in conjunction with him. They needed a website that was easy to manage with a simple booking system to streamline the processes and save time.

This was the second website we had built for Brandon, the previous being for his Shredding Boxes business (he loves boxes!) so we all had a shorthand for the style and function required – simple, clear, bright and highlighting the work that Brandon does and the young man himself.

There was complexity to resolve as boxes can be hired in 3 package levels, to only certain postcodes, on certain days and additional items added if required. There was also the restriction of only a restricted pool of boxes available.

Evolution

The development team applied some additional coding and WordPress plugins to fulfill these requirements allowing for a booking and payment system that was managed without too much intervention and time by Brandon’s team – they could take an order via email and know that the parameters and restrictions had been met.

Before all this was done a design to clearly show the products and processes was created and approved by Rob & Simone incorporating a profile of Brandon to show who using this service supports as well as clarity about the Box Packages using infographics and comparison packages.

Result

The end result is an easy to use, cheerful website that reflect’s the ethos of the business and the people running it. And to add to Brandon’s business portfolio he and his family also operate another enterprise – Brandon’s Shredding Boxes and we have had the privilege of creating this website for them as well – https://www.brandonsshreddingboxes.com.au/. We worked to their budget, after they received a grant, to highlight the great work this family has done to involve people with disablities in the workforce and develop a supportive community.

We also did these…

After 17 years in the biz and over 500 websites built it’s hard to pick favourites. But here are a few we love and hope you do too!
