A bit about
Jacksonheim Boutique is a leading boutique aparthotel company based in Manchester. Since its inception, the company has expanded to include six brands: Jacksonheim Boutique, Jacksonheim Residences, Jacksonheim Invest, Jacksonheim Concierge, Jacksonheim Interiors, and Jacksonheim Sport. Each brand offers a unique set of services, making Jacksonheim Boutique a one-stop-shop for all of your property needs.
HeadSmart Media was introduced to Jacksonheim Boutique through a mutual associate at a BNI networking group. BNI is a business networking organization that helps members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional "word-of-mouth" program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.
Unfortunately, Corin's website had been hacked due to negligence by the previous developer.
We quickly applied a temporary fix, to get the site up and running again, and got to work rebuilding the site.
We opted to go for a complete overhaul of the entire site, to make sure there were no remnants of the malware left behind, and also decided it was best to build the theme from scratch, as the commercial theme the site was built on had very patchy updates, and lots of bloatware.
The commercial theme the website had been built on had multiple custom functionalities, animations and styles, which we recreated using our barebones solutions, improving access for future development, and massively decluttering the dashboard.
As Jacksonheim grew, so did the website's requirements, so we built out a comprehensive backend system, which allowed for incredible inter-site linking and dynamic data usage.
In plain English, this meant that adding a single property updated the website everywhere, with new data showing throughout the site where appropriate.
Where once, the website administrators would have to spend hours ensuring details had been updated everywhere (a difficult process to get right over and over again for a complex site, especially as a business grows) now a simple change to a single property or company detail meant dynamic and dependable updates across the entire site.
Without this improvement, website administration may have become a bottleneck for the business, which no well-designed website should ever be.

Anchor links allow you to jump to different sections of a web page without having to scroll through long pages of content. Smooth scrolling anchor links provide a much better user experience than traditional links, as they scroll the page smoothly and quickly to the desired spot.
Wordpress multisite is a powerful tool that allows users to manage multiple websites from one dashboard. This makes it easier for business owners to manage multiple brands in a streamlined and efficient manner. Additionally, it allows for different themes and plugins to be used for each brand, which can be extremely useful if each needs to be customized for different audiences.
As the Jacksonheim Group’s sphere of influence expands, so does its number of brands. We’ve made sure that as each brand grows, its identity grows with it.
This method creates a frosted glass effect by adding a blur to the element’s background, making the content behind it slightly obscured and giving it a softened, ethereal look. It also allows for legible copy without sacrificing the vibrant colours and styles Jacksonheim Properties exude.

What we thought of the project
Working on the Jacksonheim Boutique project was a thrilling experience. From the beginning, it was clear that this was going to be a complex and challenging project, but that only made it more exciting. The team at Jacksonheim Boutique had a clear vision for their website, and it was a pleasure to bring it to life. The custom post types, animated listing cards, dynamic listing cards, company details page, dynamic ‘Meet the team’ page, interactive, draggable before and after slider, and interactive calculator are just a few of the many features that make this website stand out, and we’re proud to have been a part of it.
Corin has been an incredible person to work with, who knows his way around good design, both architecturally and online. I’m thoroughly looking forward to continued work with Jacksonheim, and expect we’ll see huge things out of the company over the next few years.
The Jacksonheim Property Group project was led by Mike Lewis, HeadSmart Media's founder and CEO.
Mike and his team of merry fellows were a game changer for my business. No task was impossible, no job too big or too small. Versus my previous development team, Headsmart blew them out the water on every metric possible. All projects moved on leaps and bounds and I cannot thank the team at Headsmart enough. If you're thinking about bringing in a dev company to help your business accelerate, look no further!
