www.ellerbebecket.com - Ellerbe Becket, one of the oldest and most respected design firms in the world, has launched its new website, www.ellerbebecket.com.
While the site is brimming with beautiful building imagery, the real focus is on clients. "Working for our clients' success has become a familiar rallying cry for our employees," said Ellebe Becket CEO Rick
Lincicome. "We made it a priority to communicate value added solutions to client challenges."
From the attractive homepage featuring a rotation of full-screen building photos, visitors can easily access information on Ellerbe Becket's expertise, people, services, clients and latest news developments.
One click from the homepage and visitors are easily transported to portfolios of the firm's work in five key expertise areas - healthcare, sports & venue, education, workplace or energy & technology.
Job seekers can check out current employment opportunities in the Careers section and find directions/maps to any Ellerbe Becket office.
"We feel the site is special among design firm websites because it is so client-focused," said Lincicome. "Rather than just showing off our great work, we make it easy to find information to better serve our clients and those interested in our firm."
Take healthcare design for example, Lincicome said. Visitors begin with an overview of Ellerbe Becket's healthcare expertise and can intuitively "drill down" for more detailed information on the various types of healthcare facilities Ellerbe Becket designs, specific project data, clients and even news articles that provide a third-party perspective.
The site is updated on a regular basis with new project information, news releases and entries to a calendar of events that tracks project milestones, speaking engagements by Ellerbe Becket employees, industry conferences and other relevant occurrences around the firm.
An innovator since its founding in 1909, Ellerbe Becket is a leader in architecture, engineering, interiors and the construction industry, with office locations worldwide.
