Next Executive website
How it ran

Next Executive: a single-page WordPress site for a Perth search consultancy.

121 Group designed and built their WordPress site.

It is a deliberately lean one-page build that takes a prospective client through the whole engagement in order: who Next Executive is, the industry sectors covered, the director's profile, and an enquiry form, all under the firm's own typography and identity.

The firm's pitch is transparency, no surprises and no hidden fees, so the site publishes the full recruitment methodology as ten numbered steps, from preparing the brief and agreeing terms, through candidate identification, screening and shortlisting, to the signed employment contract.

The build loads quickly, reads properly on a phone, and places the credibility markers, the director profile and the RCSA and CCIWA memberships, where hiring managers look for them.

We host the site on our Australian infrastructure with security hardening, plugin discipline, staged updates, monitoring and tested backups.
