Roundpeg Redesign, Part 1: Finding Inspiration
Written by Jay Mattingly
This is an exciting time at Roundpeg. In addition to all the projects we’re working on, we are working on a redesign of our website.
The website redesign has been a great challenge so far for me. The goal is to redesign the website to make it more navigable a, reflecting changes in the business direction, and promote all the fantastic work my coworkers have done. At the same time, Lorraine is passionate about maintaining the brand equity we have built. Even with the change,she wants the site to keep that distinct “Roundpeg” flavor, reverberating our culture, personality, and simplicity of style.
The first step in the website redesign was a bit of research as we looked at other agency websites, to see what they did. We spent a time analyzing what worked and what didn’t. We’ve come across all kinds of incredible websites, from gigantic agencies to companies managed in home offices. Here were a few of our favorites:
-www.barbariangroup.com-This site is awesome, if only for the “Barbaripedia”
-http://alexanderandassociates.com/ -How cool is this main page?
-http://www.asoy.com/-This site does a fantastic job of incorporating “you” in the message
Keep checking back for updates to our redesign throughout the summer!
Thanks for the nice plug of our Web site! Our previous site was in Flash and we’ve now moved to a WordPress format as it’s more functional. Alexander and Associates do much the same kind of work as RoundPeg and you are definitely hitting on all cylinders. I’d appreciate your comments on our new format. It’s still in the works, but essentially, we have re-cast our site to be the hub of all the work we are doing for clients on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Thanks for stopping by. I like the new format of your site, and particularly the twitter wall. Are they screen grabs or a plug in?
We picked your site originally because your business was similar to ours, but giving our distance, we didn’t think you would mind if we borrowed some ideas.
Have you done any custom fan page work? We like the results, but Facebook is changing the rules again, so I am not sure if we will continue to offer that.
