The Challenge, The Solution, The Result

The Challenge

What needed solving

The brand needed to be more than a book page. It had to guide people through a personal assessment, sell physical and digital products, take coaching bookings and invite people to events, all while feeling calm, personal and faith-rooted. Sensitive personal results meant the experience also had to feel private and trustworthy, and the whole thing had to be easy for a small team to run.

Our Solution

How we approached it

We built a custom Laravel platform with one consistent visual language: warm cream and brown tones, elegant serif headings and gentle motion. The TrustPrint assessment is the heart of the site, with a clear 40-question journey, saved progress and results sent by email. The shop, booking calendar, member accounts, events and testimonials share one design system and one account, so a visitor can move naturally from taking the assessment to reading the book, booking a coach or reserving an event seat.

The Result

What changed

  • One platform for assessment, shop, coaching, events and community
  • A guided assessment that explains the framework and invites sign-up before results
  • A polished, mobile-friendly experience that matches the author's brand
  • An admin-friendly foundation the team can keep growing

Key Features, Built For This Brand

What the platform does, in detail

TrustPrint Assessment

A free 40-question assessment across 9 relational dimensions that reveals one of 5 trust patterns: the Anchor, Weaver, Gardener, Pathfinder or Beacon. Progress is saved and results are emailed.

Framework Pages

Clear explanations of the nine dimensions, from Beginning Trust to Leaving a Legacy, so visitors understand the model behind their result.

Books And Resources Shop

A catalogue with a cart for the Knotted Ties book in five formats, the 52 Threads card deck and other tools, plus a link out to Amazon.

Coaching Bookings

A booking flow where clients choose an available date and time to work with a TrustVision-certified coach.

Events And RSVP

A live event area with RSVP, launch information and speaking enquiries for church gatherings, retreats, workshops and corporate seminars.

Member Accounts

Sign in, registration and password reset so readers can keep their results, orders and bookings together.

Podcast And Newsletter

A podcast hub linking to YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and a newsletter sign-up for relational insights.

Testimonials And Offers

Verified reviews grouped by assessment, booking, book and event, plus a dismissible student and academic discount banner.
