A vanished agency left Understanding Minds, mental health training provider with a broken website - local marketing agency redrose.digital stepped in to repair the damage and set the project back on track.
What happens when an established consultancy is left with a broken website and no one to turn to? While this scenario might seem far-fetched, it’s exactly what happened to Understanding Minds, an established mental health training consultancy trusted by organisations across the UK. When their previous web agency disappeared mid-project, the team was left in limbo, unable to update, scale, or even rely on a website they had invested in.
Instead of giving up, they reached out to redrose.digital for help. What followed was a steady recovery that turned a difficult setback into an opportunity for growth.
A Difficult Moment for an Established Consultancy
Understanding Minds had chosen their original web agency in good faith. The project started well, but before the work was complete, communication stopped. Emails went unanswered, progress stalled, and the agency effectively disappeared.
For a consultancy with a strong professional reputation, being left in this position was both disruptive and disappointing.
The Problems They Encountered:
- Buttons that did not work
- Duplicate images and incorrect content
- No ability to add new pages
- A site stuck in place and partly broken
Day-to-day updates became a major hassle, and plans for growth had to be put on hold. They were left with a website that did not reflect the quality of their services.
“We were left with a half-finished website, and we had no idea how to move forward.”
- Isobel, Understanding Minds
When redrose.digital Took the Lead
By the time Isobel contacted redrose.digital, the situation required more than quick fixes. The site was half-done, unstable, and difficult to work with.
The first step, however, was not technical. It was to listen.
The new team wanted to understand what had happened, whether any existing work could be salvaged, and what Understanding Minds needed to move from a broken website to one that reflects their professionalism.
The next step was a full audit. redrose.digital reviewed the site’s structure, navigation, content accuracy, and technical performance. A clear assessment allowed redrose.digital to identify the core issues and develop a plan that would stabilise the website and support future growth, rather than simply patching over faults.
Their role was to salvage the situation, steady the foundation, and give Understanding Minds a functional website they could grow.
“We focused on giving Understanding Minds a stable foundation that would last. It was essential to approach the work with care and integrity, especially after what they had experienced.”
- David, Founder of redrose.digital
A Steady Plan to Put the Website Back on Track
redrose.digital approached the project with care. They did not take advantage of a business in distress or recommend a complete rebuild (which was unnecessary in this case).
Instead, they kept every usable feature from the previous agency, corrected navigation and page names, removed errors, and supported Understanding Minds with updated content where required.
They also created a keyword plan and blog plan to guide future updates, helping the consultancy communicate more clearly and improve visibility over time.
The Result: A Website Fit for a Respected Organisation
The difference was immediate.
Understanding Minds now has a website that supports their work rather than holding it back:
- Buttons and page interactions are fully functional
- Navigation and page names are clear and consistent
- New pages and content can be added with ease
- A blog section gives them space to grow and share insights
- The structure is stable and ready for future development
Most importantly, Isobel is no longer stuck with a broken website. She has a reliable partner she can turn to, and a site that reflects the professionalism of her consultancy.
"It made such a difference to feel supported and to know the website was stable again."
- Isobel, Understanding Minds
How a Setback Became a Strong Partnership
