How's that for an odd opening sentence for a review? So you see why we feel that phrases like "Welcome to our Web site" and "such-and-so online" are cliches. The "What's New" section (not to be confused with the "McCutchen News" section) contains lots of information, but some of it was six months old. There are also "New!" icons, which beg the question "Since when?" A better approach is to update your site regularly, highlighting new information on the home page, and incorporating new content in its logical place in the site. We found the navigation bar hard to read, plus it employed old server-side technology. The search engine (one of those hard-to-read links on the navigation bar) produced excellent AltaVista-like output. Attorney profiles were easily accessible and used the narrative-style effectively, but photograph quality varied greatly. The "Website Library" was actually a bibliography of books authored by the firm's attorney. More law firms are publishing samples of their work online. McCutchen followed this trend by including complaint from a recently-filed case was online. The site was thin on graphics, which is not necessarily bad, but we were left without feeling the the site had its own look-and-feel. |
