Case  study DHA  Marine  Design  Ltd Solent  Creatives  successfully  matched  Rosie  and  Doug  Hinge,  owners  of  DHA  Marine  Design  Ltd  in  Bishops  Waltham,  with  three  students  to  update  their  website. DHA  Marine  Design  Ltd  specialises  in  fast  boat  design  using  advanced  lightweight  structures.  It  offers  a  complete  design  service  from  vessel  concept  to  commissioning.  Rosie  felt  that  the  existing  website  wasn’t  portraying  them  as  the  modern,  dynamic  company  they  are  and  needed  updating.  Having  read  about  Solent  Creatives  in  a  Business  Link  newsletter,  she  thought  Solent’s  enthusiastic  young  designers,  with  a  proven  track  record  for  quality,  would  be  ideal  for  the  job. Rosie  said:  â€œI  felt  our  website  was  a  bit  old-­fashioned.  I’d  run  out  of  ideas  and  was  hoping  someone  else  could  come  up  with  a  fresh  approach.  I  was  invited  to  the  Solent  Creatives  launch  event  and  was  subsequently  introduced  to  Scott,  Sunida  and  Adam.â€? Starting  with  the  home  page,  the  students  came  up  with  several  options  and  working  ZLWK '+$ 0DULQH 'HVLJQ RYHU WKH QH[W WKUHH PRQWKV WKH LGHDV ZHUH UHÂżQHG DQG SROLVKHG into  a  pleasing  and  personalised  product. “I’m  glad  we  chose  to  use  Southampton  Solent  University  students,â€?  says  Rosie.  â€œWe  now  have  a  much  better,  very  individual  website  and  we  couldn’t  have  gotten  better  from  an  established  web  designer.

Scott  and  Sunida  both  aim  to  do  magazine  layout  design  and  Adam  is  looking  to  continue  with  web  design. “The  experience  has  been  a  great  opportunity  to  add  to  our  porfolios,â€?  added  the  students,  who  have  each  taken  on  a  second  assignment  via  Solent  Creatives.

“It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  work  with  the  students  and  we  appreciated  their  enthusiasm  and  effort  in  the  design  of  our  new  website.  They  applied  a  fresh  creativity  and  a  sound  knowledge  of  IT  to  help  us  reach  a  successful  conclusion.  Their  approach  has  been  professional  and  we  feel  we  received  sound  advice  along  the  way.
