Law firm website redesign
Clarke, Silverglate, P.A.
Clarke, Silverglate, P.A. is a top-tier law firm in Miami, but their website needed a full refresh.
The new design presents clear information with a complementary visual design; code that is lean, clean and valid; and a web-based content management system for easy maintenance and updating.
Implementation presented an added challenge: their former webhost had announced they were departing the webhosting business. We selected ExpressionEngine and EngineHosting as complementary content management system and webhost.
The resulting website is a success, and the law firm continues to add and edit content on their site.
