“Hurja was selected as our partner primarily due to their impressive proposal and vision. Their local presence also played a role in our decision. Although unexpected changes occurred during the project, the Hurja team handled them commendably. Communication with Hurja was easy throughout the entire project, and we always had the “real person” on the line to address and solve any issues that arose. This is not always a given nowadays, as many companies rely on faceless ticketing systems, which can lead to delayed responses.
As is often the case, our thoughts and needs became more defined as the project progressed, but this was not a problem for Hurja. They accepted our requests with grace, and if they were feasible, they implemented them. For the less viable suggestions, they provided sound reasoning as to why they might not be worth pursuing and offered alternative, better solutions. Excellent collaboration!

Hämeen Autovaruste identified the need to revamp their website due to both aesthetic updates and technical and administrative challenges. The previous site was outdated and difficult to use, relying on numerous plugins that made management complicated and unclear. Improvements were sought in both the visual design and the site’s functionality to better meet modern customer needs. The goal was to make navigation easier and ensure that desired information could be found effortlessly by customers.
The redesign also aimed to update the site’s appearance to align with the brand’s new color schemes following a rebranding. The primary objective for the new website was to significantly enhance functionality and user experience, particularly in finding and comparing cars. The placement of the financing calculator was simplified to make it more accessible to users, helping them make purchasing decisions more quickly. Overall, the new website needed to meet the demands of a modern e-commerce platform.
The visual design of the website was handled by the advertising agency Hero Creative, while Hurja was responsible for the technical implementation.
The technical solutions implemented ensure that the website is not only visually appealing but also technically advanced and built to last.
The clear and logical structure of the Hämeen Autovaruste website we developed makes it easier for users to navigate and quickly find essential information related to cars and services. Compared to the previous version, management has also been significantly streamlined, and content updates have been clarified, freeing up the client’s time to focus on their core business. Integrations with data sources accelerate maintenance and automate site management, which enhances Hämeen Autovaruste’s overall processes and thus accelerates car sales.
The new website is user-friendly, fast, and visually appealing, supporting Hämeen Autovaruste’s business goals. We also handle the technical maintenance of Hämeen Autovaruste’s website. With our WordPress maintenance service, we ensure that the website and its installed plugins are always up to date. We maintain separate development and production environments, enabling smooth continuous development and quick changes to the site, as we already have access to site management.
