Project Information

One of The Mattews Firm website distinctive features is its structure simplicity and well organized content. Corporate website can be simple in use, and this is one more proof. People need information, as it is the biggest asset, and they need it quickly and easy to find. Information flow for this resource was designed to allow limited but targeted amount of functionality on the main page to make it a gateway to other resources staying easy to use considering best usability practices, and resulting in easy to use and understandable navigation. Web site content is designed to be one knowledge base with different options to present content in the best way, through a template mechanism, and allow relevant search results and other advance search options to help visitors find what they are looking for. All website pages are generated dynamically, depending on user settings. Website users activity is analyzed with our marketing tool to find out details on what people looked for, how they browsed this web resource, how designed data flow correspond to actual visitor behavior.

Another distinctive feature of the website for a professional law firm is powerful Content Management System giving full control over web site structure and content. This system is intuitively understandable and easy-to-use and even for non-professional users, thanks to a custom WYSIWYG editor (similar to MS Word), and well thought-out web site structure manager.

Once the project was launched, it brought benefits to the Matthew’s Firm personal, by publishing content easy, and website users, enabling getting structured information in portions of seconds via light graphic user interface.
