About Sound Management Group
Sound Management Group is a family-run commercial acoustics company headquartered in Hillsborough, New Jersey, serving clients nationwide. Founded in 1981 as Interior Acoustics by Art Barkman and renamed Sound Management Group in 1998, the firm delivers turnkey noise control: it analyzes the environment, designs a solution, manufactures the product in the USA, delivers it, and installs it with certified technicians. Its proprietary lines include the Sound Shadow sound masking system, Sound Delete panels, clouds, banners, and baffles, Eco Absorb recycled PET products, Acoustic Impressions custom-printed panels, Wood Worx acoustical wood slats, Hush Pane soundproof windows, and Sound Elite acoustical blinds. Clients span corporate offices, education, healthcare, hospitality, government, worship, and recreation, with projects for Boston Children's Hospital, Novo Nordisk, and Chubb, and the company holds Avetta safety certification.
Challenge
Sound Management Group sells to facility managers, architects, designers, and business owners who each arrive with a different problem: a call center that is too loud, a therapy office that has to meet HIPAA speech-privacy expectations, a school gym that echoes, or a pickleball club that needs soundproofing. Its catalog of proprietary products, long list of space types, and design-to-installation services all had to be reachable from one site without a visitor needing to know acoustics vocabulary first. Leads come from quote requests and consultations, so every path had to end in a form, and a New Jersey firm had to read as the nationwide provider it is. SmartSites set out to rebuild the website so that any space, product, or problem leads to a custom solution request.
