Rushing, a Seattle-based mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and sustainability consulting firm, needed a larger, more dynamic Web presence to stand out among their competitors and attract customer attention. With the consulting space filled with weak, first generation Web sites, a new, dynamic site would generate instant credibility.

• Develop a custom Flash introduction that makes their Web site stand out instantly
• Choose a bold, boxed look for the site that underlines the firm's solid, powerful nature
• Emphasize control, vision, and dedication through design

• Highlighted the firm's connectivity to the community
• Lead with prominent examples of past work
• Chose naturalistic photography
• Developed easy site navigation and contact page

• Put name and contact information on every page
• Highlighted experience of executive team
• Included employee recruitment site as part of central navigation bar

• Ensured cross-browser compatibility across both PC and Mac platforms
• Delivered a client maintainable site, including templates, to make it easy to update site with new finished projects

Effectively separated their business offerings in LEED and green sustainability, a growing business segment for Rushing, into a proprietary site linked to the main page under the name Blackbird Studios
