Site design and implementation for a Mac-centric IT consulting firm serving advertising and other creative firms in the San Francisco region.

Why it works

Minimal, “single sell” design grabs attention with a strong image and headline, with red accents supporting the brand colors. A random sell graphic and text are chosen from a stable of favorites on every visit to the page, each highlighting a different facet of the firm or customer testimonial. The design has stood the test of time; Mann Consulting has been happily using it, with minor modifications, since 2001.

What I’d change

The implementation of this design pre-dated the popularization of CSS and semantic HTML, and is therefore not as accessible as it should be.
