The engagement
Before the build
What kept going wrong
For daily vehicle hire, visitors could not tell which answer needed fixing. Trying again sometimes wiped information they had already entered correctly.
What we built
The rebuilt form labels everything persistently and reports errors in place. Nothing valid is lost on retry, pickup location, rental dates and vehicle class are requested, and optional fields say so.
