Project Overview

Based on the research findings within the Willet Hauser Architectural Glass brand-focused marketing strategy developed by AVS Group, the Internet became the cornerstone of the Willet Hauser promotional strategy. Directly following the completion of marketing strategy, Willet Hauser engaged AVS Group to design a new website for the company. The Willet Hauser website can be found at www.willethauser.com.

The objectives for the new Willet Hauser Architectural Glass website were twofold: to provide users with a comprehensive portfolio of the company’s work and present a variety of other relevant content. The Willet Hauser website also needed to visually communicate the company's antes and drivers that were identified during the marketing strategy project.

Benefits

AVS Group designed a professional, clean, and warm front-end graphic design for the Willet Hauser Architectural Glass website. The website design was carried throughout the lower level pages. AVS Group also used aspects of the design when developing Willet Hauser’s new corporate identity materials.

As a result of the online portfolio and project case studies, Willet Hauser clients and prospects get an accurate view of the company’s impressive experience with restoration, ecclesiastic, public art, and monument projects.

AVS Group reduced the number of content sections, making the site easier to manage, and trained several members of the Willet Hauser team on how to use Microsoft Front Page® so that ongoing content management could be performed in-house.

Other deliverables for the project included:

• New information architecture that made the site easier to navigate
• Updated content that provides current information
• Music and voice consistent with the professional image of the Willet Hauser Architectural Glass brand
• Content development
• Testing
• Training and maintenance support
