For Immediate Release

The architectural firm Studio Southwest Architects (http://www.studioswarch.com) has teamed up with Web development firm, Data-Scribe®, to re-energize their Web presence with an implementation of a content management system (CMS) and a redesign. Studio Southwest Architects was founded in 1984 and is a regional award-winning firm, whose practice focuses on cost-effective, sustainable design.

AEC firms and Web firms have one main thing in common, they have to design or build something in order to please the client. The way something looks and feels is subjective, making it difficult to please everyone. As we reviewed some of the comments we've heard when building sites, we realized that A/E/C firms have heard similar ones from their clients.

1. "I really like purple. Is there a way that you could work that in?"

We're opening our successful "How-To Hour" sessions to the world.

Having had a great response to last month's series, we have decieded to open our "How To Hour" sessions to the public. 

The sessions are led by our experienced developers, using demonstration copies of the Web site systems. You drive the agenda by sending us your questions beforehand. Plus, you’ll learn how other nonprofits and small businesses use the same systems.

For current clients the cost is $0 >>> FREE!

Non-clients can join the Webinar for $39.

We hear it all the time. A client wants an easy-to-update, scalable system for their architectural firm's Web site presence. Not that we are hoping for the demise of Flash, but it is a tool, not the end-all-be-all to define a corporate identity.

We use Flash in some of our sites and we know there is a time and place for its usage.

It seems that the next trend is to provide an easy to use, customizable and flexible system that anyone can maintain instead of just a cool looking way to design sites. Anyone else seeing this trend?
