Website for Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Designed by Ironworks Consulting Increases Site Traffic by 115%

Posted on by


Richmond, VA (PRWEB) November 17, 2010

Ironworks, a management, Web and IT consulting firm, is pleased to announce that the redesigned website for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) has increased website traffic by almost 115%, and also led to rising social media interactions and more museum memberships.

VMFA engaged Ironworks to implement a new content management system along with a full creative redesign of its site http://www.vmfa.museum. Launched in April, the new website is user-friendly, easy to maintain, exudes brand identity, and promotes interest in the organization and the services it provides.

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has transformed its existing galleries with the addition of the James and Frances McGlothlin Wing, the Claiborne and Lora Robins Sculpture Garden and a 600 space parking deck museum complex, states director Alex Nyerges. The transformation carries over to our virtual museum with a well-designed website, robust social media and WiFi in the Museum to enable visitors to stay connected.

The new website has improved VMFAs site usage significantly, more than doubling the average time users spend on the site and increasing the number of pages per visit. Ironworks also positioned social media features on the home page that have increased social media interaction between VMFA and its visitors. Some exciting new features include:

VMFAs most recent Twitter entry is displayed prominently on the home page.

All pages in the site may be shared on popular social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter using the Share feature located in the header.

The VMFA blog has been integrated into the VMFA website making the content searchable throughout.

Users of the website may now subscribe to updates to the VMFA website through their RSS feed readers.

High resolution images of popular works of art housed within the VMFA permanent collections can be zoomed to show the detail of the piece and are also easy to share with friends and followers.

The VMFAs new website launch coincided with the Museums transformative expansion project, which added 165,000 new square feet to its existing 380,000 square-foot building. The public grand opening of the Museum was celebrated in early May of this year. The new website, along with the expansion, has led to an increase in museum visitors and memberships. Together, the new website and expansion have greatly enhanced the way visitors experience VMFA.

In addition to the creative redesign, Ironworks leveraged Ektron 400.NET Content Management System, giving VMFA a website that can be easily maintained by content contributors within the organization. Content contributors are now able to add, modify and publish their own content without involving IT. Workflow allows business areas to review and approve their own content, decreasing the turnaround time for getting new content out to the public.

Ironworks is honored to be responsible for the new web presence for VMFA at a time when the Museum is undergoing such an evolution, notes Will Loving, COO of Ironworks Consulting. The goal for the website design and functionality was to be on par with the Museums Top-10 ranking and we feel like we have accomplished this. The expanded physical exhibition space allows the Museum to share more of its assets with the community as does the new website with over 300 items from the collection available online. We are pleased to add VMFA to our roster of leading arts institutions.

Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel ii Compliance and Product Repositioning Consulting, from Compliance LLC

Posted on by


Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) May 9, 2006

Compliance LLC (http://www.compliance-llc.com), a leading international provider of Sarbanes Oxley and Basel ii training and consulting, announced the addition of new “Compliance and Product Repositioning” consulting services for vendors, suppliers and service providers.

“Sales teams struggle to achieve targets because they often fail to stand in the shoes of executives and experience the business challenges their customers face” said George Lekatis, General Manager and Chief Compliance Consultant of Compliance LLC. “Sales cycles can be long, but there are some exceptions to this rule. Compliance and internal controls are required by law. There are deadlines to meet. Vendors, suppliers and service providers must reposition their products to meet the compliance requirements. Compliance is a must have. Availability, security, better IT services, all these are “nice to have” services.

In a survey conducted for Compliance LLC in several countries, and from the feedback after the completion of many Sarbanes Oxley and Basel ii classes, about 2/3 of IT, risk and compliance officers try to avoid consultants because:

1. Consultants sometimes are good generalist problem-solvers but often they lack the deep knowledge and the specialized expertise that clients are demanding.

2. Consultants are often product-focused rather than solution-focused. They have ready products to sell, whatever is your problem.

3. Some experts are very good to sell consulting services. Once the contract is signed, these experts usually go to sell another project. Less experienced consultants are responsible for the implementation.

4. Consultants often try to find evidence (or killer findings) in order to cut the loyalty bond between the client and their people. This is a way to make the client dependent on them.

5. The fees are huge and not fixed. There are also some very creative ways that consultants use to extract money from clients. Clients have to cover expenses that are not reasonable.

6. Consultants are not interested in small engagements. They always try to sell million dollars projects.

7. When a consulting firm is known to be coming into a company, one of the results will be that many people will lose their jobs.

“We are really different” said George Lekatis. “We never recommend firing your employees. We believe that you must train them and trust them. In Compliance LLC we have a fixed fee / fixed terms policy. You hire specific persons, not consultants. You know the exact final cost of any project, and everything is included in this price (expenses, flights, tax etc.). For example, I charge $ 18,000 per week. I need 1 to 2 weeks for compliance assignments in Europe, Asia or in the States. Hotels, flights, tax; everything is included in this price. A great value for money and an absolutely honest proposal. There are different (but fixed) billing rates depending on the seniority and experience of our other consultants”

The new Consulting and Training Services Catalog is available at the company’s web site (http://www.compliance-llc.com).

Compliance LLC is also offering Sarbanes Oxley training and Basel ii training from the USA to London, to Dubai, to Singapore.

For further information, contact Lyn Spooner, E-mail: lyn@compliance-llc.com Tel: +1 (302) 342-8828 Ext 1, or George Lekatis, E-mail: lekatis@Compliance-LLC.com, Tel: +1 (302) 342-8828 Ext 5, Fax: +1 (302) 342-8828.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2012

Social media consulting firm Maximize Social Media LLC announced its veterinary marketing program today, giving additional support to veterinary practices in need of social media management. The firm will provide full service management that includes Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, and YouTube. The programs focus is to create awareness and demand for veterinary services by targeting the demographics most likely to need the services. The practices will also benefit from having a social platform by which satisfied clients may share their experience with friends, thereby significantly extending the reach of the marketing message.

Social media allows veterinarians to now communicate regularly with clients to cultivate long-term relationships, which is key for veterinary practices to remain competitive today. Additionally, pet owners demand the highest level of care for their animals, and being able to display testimonials from other clients and provide direct interaction with the veterinary staff on social media platforms has proven to be a tremendous tool for converting visitors into clients said Craig Collins, Senior VP of Maximize Social Media LLC.

Maximize also will integrate custom applications within Facebook that facilitate turning prospective clients into customers. One such application utilizes a contest format that converts visitors into fans of the page while simultaneously capturing contact information. This strategy enables the veterinary practice to stay in front of prospective clients on Facebook everyday, in addition to being able to connect with them via phone, email, etc.
