Barrett for Governor Site Launched

July 10, 2003

Beacon Technologies announced its launch of the DanBarrettgov.com web site on May 30, 2003, coinciding with Mr. Barrett’s announcement of his candidacy for Governor of North Carolina in 2004. “The internet is now a critical component for any government campaign to be successful. It is imperative that my website not only reflect the personality of my campaign, but also function as a valuable communication vehicle to the community,” stated Barrett. “The site needed to have the ability to expand as needed to effectively facilitate my campaign, while also providing an intuitive design so online visitors can quickly learn more about me as person, understand my agenda, and support my campaign. Beacon is known for providing web technology that is easy-to-expand and easy-to-use.”

Dr. Margery Kiehn, Beacon’s Senior Web Usability expert, stated, “There were a lot of factors to consider when designing Mr. Barrett’s site. We had to establish a solid foundation such that future features and content could easily be integrated, and provide a unique look-and-feel that brings positive value to the site, and ultimately, his candidacy.”

Beacon’s client list includes the U.S. Department of Education, Center For Creative Leadership, First Point Resources, Kaplan Early Learning, Unilever/Best Foods, Hafele America, Pace Communications, N.C. State University, University of N.C. Greensboro, Guy M Turner, Duke University, Samet Corporation, All Access Music, Grandover Resort, Texas Southern University, and the Massachusetts Library.
