WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., March 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- WCSR.com
once again has been recognized as the best legal Web site in the
Carolinas, coming out on top in a field of more than 140
candidates. Womble Carlyle and WCSR.com won "Best in Contest," the
top overall honor, in the Lawyer's Weekly annual "Best Law Firm Web
Site 2008" competition. This is the second consecutive overall win
for WCSR.com. The firm also won "First Place, Large Law Firm
Category" for both North Carolina and South Carolina. The
particular category is for firms with more than 26 attorneys.
Womble Carlyle has won First Place for large law firms each of the
past three years in the North Carolina competition and two of the
last three years in South Carolina. The winners will be featured in
an upcoming issue of both the North Carolina and South Carolina
editions of the newspaper. "Our web site is often someone's initial
contact with Womble Carlyle, so we work very hard to have it make
the best possible first impression for our firm," said Maury
Tepper, the firm's Chairman of the Client Development Committee.
"We have incorporated such features as video, audio podcasts and
blogs into WCSR.com and will continue to make innovation a focus as
we improve the Web site in the future." "It is satisfying to know
that we are able to convey that marketing objective to independent
experts and, more importantly, viewers of the web site," said Aden
Dauchess, Internet Marketing Manager at Womble Carlyle. Three
independent judges, each with a background in communications,
graded more than 140 Web sites. The judges wrote of WCSR.com, "From
the first moment a visitor steps on to the site, it's clear that
this firm understands the power of online communication....While
many of the other sites in the competition had strong design
elements, or clear navigation, or nifty bells and whistles, Womble
Carlyle was the site that clearly excelled in all areas,
integrating form with function and using technology not just for
its own sake, but for the benefit of the site's audience." The
judges also had plenty of doggone good things to say about Winston,
the firm's legally-minded canine mascot. "Of course, what would the
site be without its mascot, Winston? Many sites use animation to
draw a user's attention, but this animation was incredibly well
done, is mindful of a user's bandwidth and doesn't interfere with
the primary task of seeking and acquiring information from the WCSR
site," they said. The Lawyer's Weekly award is just the latest in a
series of honors WCSR.com has received in recent years. In
September 2007, WCSR.com was named the winner of the "Best Legal
Website WebAward" in a national contest sponsored by the Web
Marketing Association (WMA). In 2005, the WMA awarded the firm its
"Outstanding Website WebAward" for Web site design and development.
