Loom walkthrough

Why Loom walkthroughs

Instead of scheduling meetings to review progress, we record screen captures explaining what we've built and why. Stakeholders watch at their convenience—no calendar coordination, no timezone conflicts, no forcing 30-minute meetings for 5-minute updates.

Loom walkthroughs create permanent references. Forget how a feature works? Rewatch the walkthrough. Need to onboard a team member? Send them the recording. Written documentation becomes outdated; video stays relevant.

What we cover in walkthroughs

Feature demonstrations: Here's how the contact form works, where submissions go, how to update form fields. We show, not just tell.

Design decisions: Why we chose this layout, how the responsive behaviour works, what happens on mobile. Context helps clients understand the thinking behind choices.

Content guidance: How to add case studies through Fernside CMS, what alt text to write, where images get optimised. Practical instruction stakeholders can follow immediately.

Technical updates: Analytics is configured, here's how to access reports. SSL is active, here's confirmation. Status updates without scheduling calls.

Client feedback

Most clients prefer Loom walkthroughs to lengthy written documentation or frequent meetings. Videos feel personal—you hear tone, see context, understand nuance. Text lacks this richness.

Walkthroughs also reduce back-and-forth. A 3-minute video answers questions that might generate 10 email exchanges. Clarity improves, timelines compress, everyone stays aligned.

Asynchronous collaboration

This approach suits distributed teams and busy founders. Watch the walkthrough during your commute, over lunch, or whenever you have 5 minutes. Reply with questions or approval when convenient.

We use Loom throughout projects: initial wireframe walkthroughs, design reviews, development updates, and final handoff. Asynchronous communication maintains momentum without meeting overhead.
