Great article… i like the way the agency categorizes the Portfolio section into Industry and Medium. It probably makes more sense for the client.

Michael,

Thank you for bringing this to light. An agency I worked for struggled mightily with trying to find direction for its new website design, and never quite succeeded.

I’m not an ad agency but I think your principle applies to anyone providing a business service. For my own clients, I like to think I address their needs first, with simple navigation that quickly gets them to the information they need. I use jquery to provide dynamic eye-catching interest, but this (I hope) serves the purpose of, again, providing essential information.

Michael,

Thanks for this information. As our agency is designing a new website, your blog has been a big help. We are moving away from flash, and focusing on the personal connections and proven results.

Thanks again!

I agree. You’ve got to put your target audience first. Here in Sweden so many agencies seem to stick with Flash for some reason although it smacks of a couple of years ago. That’s because there’s such a focus on design over content.

Although I’m a firm believer in images and copy working in unison to convey a strong message, I’m wary of businesses that overly rely on the visual. I want to see their dialogue; the way they engage.

Michael,

Thanks for writing this post. So many agencies are still in the dark about how to design a website that appeals to their audience: prospective clients. Flash is for art directors who want to be thought well of by other art directors.
