You know that you’re dealing with real trial lawyers when the “directions” page features links to all the area courthouses. Yikes! These guys are not planning on settling! Of course, “settlement” is step 6 of 7 in the “7 Stages of a Lawsuit” flash show. The site is timely and informative, mirrored in Spanish and Portuguese. I do have to say the “meet our team” was a little funny. The “attorney team”—all men. The “staff”—all women. Let’s get a little diversity, people! The “newsletter” is still “under construction”. But, everything else is where it should be.
It looks like a local law firm, which is what I like about this site of a firm in Moundsville, West Virginia (wherever the heck that is). The site includes links to the Mountaineer Baseball Association, complete with schedules and standings. What better way to draw the local crowd to your law firm web site! The site also has excellent navigation, with good quick links. It includes just enough graphics to keep things interesting. And all the “call to action” tools you need.
Still cool and hip, but it had not changed much in the last year and a half. And the top headline referred to a Dec. 31 deadline—it is mid-May. Get rid of the frames, and update this mofo (that is a reference to the always up-to-date mofo.com, not the bad language).
Three simple words that can mean so much, “adjust font size”. You do not see that option too often, but depending on your eyesight, it can be quite helpful. In the IMAs, there are so many great IP law firm web sites. This is one of them, with lots of “usability” strewn about. The home page was not the greatest, and the updating could be bulked up, but if you have the system in place, then all you need is a little elbow grease to move up.
Not a lot had changed here, but then again, the biggest thing I’m looking for is a drop-off or staleness. The firm has maintained the site (and sister site packaginglaw.com) well. It was built to focus on credentials and information, not on design or fashion.
