The outer space background image at Peabody & Brown's Web site is hardly evocative of a large New England law firm, yet it is the first thing that greets visitors to peabodybrown.com. We also don't like the vertical listing of menu choices, which forces the viewer to scroll through several screens to see the available options. A better choice would be to lay the options out in a table, or use an imagemap to graphically illustrate the sections of the site. Much of the site is dynamically generated by a series of Perl scripts. This allows for maximum flexibility in maintaining content, but it requires heightened attention to detail. A case in point. When we clicked on "Firm News," we received the following error message: "Error in perl code: Can't locate presslib.pl in @INC at (eval 1) line 1, chunk 12." The graphics are clean and consistent beyond the first page, and the presentation throughout the site is solid. There is good information about the firm, but they could certainly provide more content under "Publications," where there is currently just a list of articles that mention Peabody & Brown.
