| Another site "welcoming" us to their "virtual office." Enough already. Visually, the site is well laid-out, offering an obvious organizational framework that makes getting around quite easy. However, attorney bios - which we assume many people visiting the site may be interested in - are located two levels below the home page (You must first click on "About F&L", then click on "Lawyer bios", then click on either "Lawyers by office" or "Lawyers by Practice Groups".) If you know your attorney's name, but not what office/practice group they're in, you're out of luck - try the search engine. Given the number of attorneys, it would make far more sense to put a link to them on the home page and navigation bar, instead of Seminars, which get their own link but contain just one piece of information. The use of a navigation bar - with the same images as on the home page - makes the site feel consistent. (But the images seem to have been shrunk - and at their size on the nav bar, some detail is missing, causing some of the words to lose some letters.) The "Resource Center" is full of good information - dates would be helpful to indicate when sections were last updated, but overall there's a lot of useful content here and should serve as a model for how other firms could do this. |
