MVE & Partners Honored with Web Marketing Association Award

The Web Marketing Association has proudly presented MVE & Partners with a 2008 Web Award for Outstanding Achievement in Website Development in the Architecture category.

More than 30 judges came together from different countries to vote on the websites. "The judges represent the various relevant disciplines and are distinguished experts in their fields," says Bill Rice, president of Web Marketing Association. Applicants were judged on a scale of zero to 10 in the following seven categories: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and ease of use.

The newly launched website showcases the firm's diverse experience in the services of architecture, planning, interior and graphic design and communicates the high quality of work, professionalism and expertise that has become indicative of the firm. The new functionality of the website creates a dynamic and engaging experience for the user by keeping the content fresh and relevant and the visual experience structured, yet attractive, while effectively representing the brand, values and identity of the firm. The interface is intuitive, simple, and organized, and the forward-thinking implementation is fast-loading, accessible, standards-compliant and search-engine-friendly.

Some of the new enhancements now found on the website include:

• Rich searching and filtering capabilities for projects and news articles
• An interactive, regionalized project locator map
• An extensive collection of the firm's distinguished projects
• Continuously updated news articles and press releases to keep the website's content current and relevant
• A compelling company culture page to attract prospective employees

"We're proud of our creative marketing team," says Rick Emsiek, AIA, partner/president of MVE & Partners. "Special kudos go to Director of Graphic Design Erik Chrestensen, Director of Web and Technical Development Kevin Chu and Marketing Manager Vickie Leong. Their creative and technical insight has given our firm remarkable results."
