Dickinson & Wheelock, P.C.

Sailing Stones was brought in for some consulting and ended up being asked to bring their web presence from 1999 to 2007. The client was great, providing content and clearly communicating what he wanted from the website and what he wanted to focus on. In this case, franchise law was what he wanted to attract people to the site and inspire inquiries about their services, Sailing Stones recommended creating a second site that would specifically focus on the areas franchise of law. We kept the firm site focused on all areas of practice and link to the franchise site where appropriate.

• Goals

  • Visually pleasing and clean design.
  • Contact info on every page.
