The engagement
Before the build
What kept going wrong
With daily vehicle hire, knowledge existed but circulated poorly: buried in threads, uneven between staff, and invisible to anyone visiting the site.
What we built
The team sorted the questions that arrive again and again into a short FAQ about rental conditions and collection instructions. Each answer was reviewed by the person who owns that topic, with situation-specific queries pointed towards a direct conversation.
