Relationship:
Our relationship with Sentara had humble beginning. It began back in 2007 when HindSite Interactive was first contracted to fully revamp the online presence for Sentara College of Health Sciences (www.sentara.edu). It all started as a single website redesign, integration of a custom content management system, inquiry management, newsletter and live chat. After a successful and satisfactory launch of the College website, Sentara’s corporate was made aware of the success and results of HindSite’s work. This soon escalated to a long-term consulting relationship with Sentara’s corporate entity Sentara Healthcare and sister divisions and ever since HindSite Interactive has been actively providing series of web and graphic consulting services across Sentara’s various verticals; with offerings that have included:

– Custom Web Design and Web Development
– User interface design

– Website Maintenance
– Interactive tours and tutorials
– Social Media Services
– Interactive Design and Motion Graphics
– Tradeshow Graphics

The Challenge

The Solution

To become a web consulting and graphic design partner of Sentara Healthcare companies and over time gaining a deep understanding of Sentara’s culture, offerings and target audience. This in turn has helped HindSite Interactive to formulate a series of services that are specialized to meet the needs of Sentara’s brand and marketing needs.

HindSite Interactive has provided numerous projects to Sentara Healthcare. Although we have grasped a good understanding of Sentara’s culture and business needs, each project is different and at times must appeal to a specific audience. As a result each project begins with consultation and a discovery phase to determine the project objectives and brainstorm ideas and potential concepts.

Design ideas undergo proof of concept and revisions necessary to reach approval from both parties before going to development and production phase, followed by a full acceptance testing and review phase to reach approval.

Client feedback

"When we looked for a vendor to replace our Web site, we looked for a challenging combination of strengths. Most vendors were strong in one given area, such as design or search. We chose HindSite Interactive because they offer a unique combination of business sense/design strength/information architecture/usability and search optimization knowledge. In addition, their in-house content management system met our needs for maintaining day-to-day control of our site. I have been impressed from the start with their professional but friendly style - and their excellent communication with us overall.

Since we've launched our new site, we've seen an incredible improvement in contact with our web visitors. We've consistently doubled inquiries from our online contact form and have even seen higher in-person attendance for our on-site sessions advertised on our site. We look forward to continuing our relationship with HindSite Interactive and thank you for a job very well done."
