Updated Website Design for MWI

How’s that saying go about how the cobbler’s children have no shoes? And web design firms rarely have time to update their own website. A few months ago we updated some of the case studies (although we still sorely need to update more of them, especially the SEO/SEM case studies) and we put some goldfish on the homepage, but it was left feeling pretty stark and naked.

In this round of updates we trade gray for a rich blue and made the main marketing banner a solid color background rather than a white background so that the messaging pops a bit more and the site doesn’t feel so empty. We also added a new footer to every page which is where the blog updates are shown, as well as contact info, the copyright statement, and a small “about MWI” blurb so that no matter what page of the site people hit, they’ll know we’re an SEO and web design firm. You’d think that might be obvious, but with so many other companies out there named “MWI” we get all sorts of emails and phone calls. I just got one today from a lady wanting to order some hospital supplies. I have no idea what company she was trying to reach. Apparently she didn’t either, because when I asked her she sounded confused and said “I’m not sure…they just gave me this number.”

Let me know if you have any comments on the new site. We’re always open to constructive criticism, although getting around to doing anything about it is another thing.

Oh, and our XHTML/CSS code finally validates. Yee-ha.
