The website needed to:

  • Feature Graphic Design as a major value-add service
  • Administer the website with an easy to use Content Management system (CMS)
  • Build the site with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Strategy
   
The Solution

Visual Identity Group created an interactive website experience which utilizes initial creative which was worked and modified for it's objectives while focusing on the end user experience, mobile platforms, and integrating social media such as Twitter feeds.

The site is designed utilizing html/css/jQuery and LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack technology with a heavy emphasis in HTML for SEO optimization, mobile phone/tablet viewing and non-flash Internet users. The site takes advantage of the Visual YouManage™ Content Management System (CMS), which allows the client to easily update content, add blog and news articles, projects, graphic design and research + development.

 
The Result

Visual Identity Group delivered a website for PJHM that brought a quick and overwhelmingly positive response from both clients and employees of the organization. Internal employees have the ability to post new articles, sharing and connect with clients, post YouTube videos and centralize their social media campaigns using the CMS. Site analytics are increasing monthly and visitor retention rate and search engine ranking has improved markedly.
