Where did the project start?
The starting point
The commercial fleet inquiries form relied on disappearing placeholders and vague errors. Nothing indicated which field had caused the problem.
The problem it caused
For commercial fleet inquiries, one missed field could void the whole attempt. Staff heard about the form's behavior from frustrated callers, weekly.
What did we change on the site?
Each field keeps its label, each error sits next to its cause, and completed answers are preserved when submission fails. The form requests vehicle class, operating area and hire period, with optional items explicitly marked.

Content approved
The fleet management and hire company signs off the content and the plan. The working-day count starts here.
Build
Each field keeps its label, each error sits next to its cause, and completed answers are preserved when submission fails.
Staff review
The client's own staff check every change on phone and desktop before it is published.
Handover
The change goes live and the team is walked through what is new and who looks after it.
15 working daysWhat changed for the team?
Day to day with commercial fleet inquiries, corrections take seconds because the form names them. Visitors finish; staff stop troubleshooting a form they did not build.
I deliberately left a field blank on the commercial fleet inquiries form as a test. It told me what to fix and kept everything else I had typed. That is exactly how it should behave.
