Where they started, and what kept going wrong
Starting point
The event production briefs form's labels vanished as you typed, and its only error message accused without specifying.
The problem
With event production briefs, visitors could not tell which answer needed fixing. Trying again sometimes wiped information they had already entered correctly.

What we built
Answer: The rebuilt form labels everything persistently and reports errors in place. Nothing valid is lost on retry, event format, venue and technical requirements are requested, and optional fields say so.

Why is the client not named?
