There’s something so exciting about building a website from the ground up—creating something fresh and new that truly reflects the business and its mission. When Paine Edmonds LLP approached us to redesign their website, we were eager to help.
Founded in 1945 by Paul Britton Paine and William Henry Kemp Edmonds, Paine Edmonds has been proudly serving British Columbia for more than 70 years. Located in Vancouver, BC, Paine Edmonds is a boutique law firm with a focus on family, insurance, employment, estate, disability and general litigation. Their first website, which debuted in 1994, has been through four iterations in three decades!
Paine Edmonds knew what they wanted when it came to their website redesign: a fresh look and feel that was also simple to use. They also wanted to reduce the amount of text on the site so it was more enjoyable to navigate. The new site needed to reflect the firm’s legal approach and expertise. We were happy to oblige!
We started by delivering design prototypes. Now, sometimes we get it right the first time… and sometimes we don’t! In this case, we had to go through several versions to find the look that really worked for Paine Edmonds. And that was just fine–design is so subjective that it can take time before everyone is pleased. Paine Edmonds’ feedback on each design version was crucial and welcomed. The result is a fresh and modern website that does the brand proud.
This refresh wasn’t only about updating the look of the site. Paine Edmonds also needed to move away from a clunky content management system into something that could be more easily maintained. We opted to set up the new site in Wix.
We also set up a translation tool using Wix app to make it easy for people to browse the site in the language that works best for them; the site is now offered in every language the firm can support through native speakers or translators.
The final step was ensuring that Paine Edmonds could easily maintain their site. We trained the Paine Edmonds team in navigating the Wix interface so they can update the site’s images and text. This is the final piece of the puzzle, giving Paine Edmonds full control over their site content, though we are still available to support them should they ever encounter something they’re unsure about.
The team at Paine Edmonds was a pleasure to work with, and if our interactions were anything to go by, you shouldn’t hesitate to use their legal services!
If you’re thinking it might be time to refresh your website, send us a message. We’d love to help you, too!
