Beacon Launches Its New 2005 Web Site!

May 2005

Over the last 4 months, Beacon’s Design Team has worked with the talented staff at G-Graphics to produce the new graphical footprint for the site and effectively present the company’s IT strengths in eCommerce Solutions, Content Management, Software Development, Search Engine Marketing, Web Design, & Hosting Services. Patrick Flanagan, Beacon’s Senior Account Executive, says, “The new site is fantastic. We now have the web presence that we advocate to all of our customers, one that exemplifies our creative, IT, and marketing talents. By partnering with a couple of graphic design companies, we now offer our customers much stronger creative talent than we’ve ever provided in the past.”

With the growth of Beacon’s search engine marketing clientele, the company has not had time to fully utilize the optimization techniques for itself. “The next step is to ‘practice what we preach’ and roll-out a search engine marketing strategy for ourselves,” says Mark Dirks, Beacon’s President. “We expect to complete this phase during the 2nd quarter in addition to migrating the site under content management software.”

Beacon’s Lead Web Designer, Justin Klingman, led the charge in making the new site a reality. “We’ve never had a better site. We took the time to do it right, which required focus by Beacon’s internal staff and good collaboration with a creative graphical team that understood what we wanted.”

“We have been operating with an outdated website for so long, kind of like the old story about the Cobbler’s shoes, that we made it a priority to produce a site that represented the quality, business philosophy, and professionalism of our company,” says Dirks. “Our previous site really wasn’t creative from a graphical standpoint, nor was it concise in presenting and marketing our products and services.”
