Detroit-based employment law firm Nemeth Burwell PC, recently announced that the firm's new website, www.nemethburwell.com, was awarded top honors in the Interactive Media Awards competition. The Interactive Media Awards, offered by the Interactive Media Council, Inc., recognize the highest standards of excellence in website design and development and honors individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievement.
Nemeth Burwell won the Interactive Media Awards 'Best in Class' Award in the "Legal" category, and was cited with high marks of 97 to 100 (out of 100) for design, content, feature functionality, usability standards, and compliance and cross-browser compatibility. The Best in Class award is the highest honor in the Interactive Media Awards and represents the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism.
Nemeth Burwell, has been on a growth spurt since the inception of its first website in the early 2000s. A completely new website was needed to reflect that growth and showcase the firm's depth and breadth of expertise in management-side employment and labor law, as well as its geographic reach.
The new website meets several goals and objectives:
* As a Michigan-based firm with nationally and internationally-based clients, Nemeth Burwell needed the website to reflect the firm's position as a go-to firm in labor and employment for private and public sector entities of all sizes, regardless of location. The employment news ticker tape on the home page reinforces this message, as does the comprehensive list of representative industries served.
* The website reflects that Nemeth Burwell, with its sole labor and employment focus, is actually larger than many employment and labor practices within big corporate law firms, where attorneys may not focus exclusively on labor and employment like Nemeth Burwell attorneys do.
* The photos on the website remind visitors that the firm is situated next to the Detroit River in Detroit, which has a reputation for landmark labor and employment law cases, given its union history. At the same time, the photos represent the firm's love of - and loyalty to - the City, with it striking architecture, beloved sports locales and re-emerging waterfront, rather than the gritty urban decay often wrongfully attributed to Detroit.
Patricia Nemeth, the firm's president, is very pleased not only with the award but with the response to the website.
"The new Nemeth Burwell website captures the image we want to communicate to our public: a user-friendly synergy of knowledge and expertise designed to take on challenges and resolve issues," offers Nemeth. "The IMA award reinforces the positive feedback we have been receiving from clients and friends of the firm, as well as website visitors who are prospective clients and referral sources. There's a general consensus that www.nemethburwell.com is a very cool website."
