New for August 2010: Mount Kisco Child Care Center

DLS design takes good care of our clients, just as they take care of their customers. For Mount Kisco Child Care Center, DLS designed a bright, colorful new site filled with pictures. The center services northern Westchester children from infants through grade school, and has a special emphasis on nutrition through a program involving local farmers and chefs, Feed Me Fresh. At www.mkccc.org.

July 2010: Schpoont & Cavallo

Through a personal connection, DLS Design came to design this elegant, simple web site for Schpoont & Cavallo, LLP, a woman-owned matrimonal law firm in New York City. Palette is light, pleasing, contemporary, green; site is populated by descriptions of practice expertise including pre-nups, post-nups and all the specialties of the trade; and carefully optimized for search. At www.schpoontcavallo.com

June 2010: Haftel & Silverman, a Study in Simplicity

Although our clients are from all corners of the US, Haftel & Silverman is just up the block from DLS, on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The boutique firm specializes in litigation and employment and compensation issues. All complex matters — but the site is a study in simplicity, with short pages and clean graphics that don't get in the way. At www.haftel.com.

May 2010: The Wright Stuff

Pennsylvania-based Wright & O'Donnell "landed" DLS to design their firm web site. W&O becomes our latest law firm client whose main focus is related to insurance defense — see samples on linked page (in right-hand column). We are currently working on several other firms in this category around the US. Wright works on the defense side of cases involving insurers, representing them as well as corporations, manufacturers, flight schools and instructors, as well as school districts, townships and other governmental entities. See www.wright-odonnell.com.

April 2010: Old, New, Blue, But Nothing Borrowed

Colson & Harris, a newly-formed law firm practicing criminal defense in New York City, and Kaplan Landau LLP, a venerable boutique practicing in many areas related to litigation, are the latest clients to hire DLS Design to create their web sites and branding materials. Blue is an ever-popular color for law firms, and it is appropriate, but we make every design new, different, and with nothing borrowed from the outside. See www.kaplanlandau.com and www.colsonharris.com

March 2010: Law Firm Merger Results Web Site Re-branding

When Hafetz & Necheles, a longtime web design client of DLS Design merged with the law offices of Victor Rocco, DLS was asked to continue servicing the merged firm by designing a new web site and branding. We moved away from our original design, a darker look with a courthouse image whose homepage was dependent on Flash. The new look is cleaner; the pages better-optimized for search engines. DLS designed a simple logo with two components: a square monogram for business cards, and a font treatment of the full firm name which we then applied to stationery and web. At www.hnrlawoffices.com

DLS Design can assist your law firm with domain registration and continue to support you with hosting.

February 2010: Petrillo Klein

Starting a new law firm? Read what DLS Design can do for you.

Specialists in new law firms, DLS Design has just completed the design of the new web site for Petrillo Klein LLP, which just formed. Former federal prosecutors with big firm experience, the two partners will represent clients in civil litigation, regulatory and other matters. In tandem with the firm's new web site, DLS is designing collateral material and announcements, both printed and electronic. The new site is at www.petrilloklein.com

January 2010: DLS Fortifies Public Defenders

DLS Design has just completed a new web site for The Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem (NDS). The agency offers legal defense to members of the public in upper Manhattan, using a team that starts with volunteer lawyers and broadens to include social workers, investigators and others. Additional services include conflict resolution training. At www.ndsny.org.

January 2010: Ladies Who Launch

For January, DLS Design has just launched web sites for two solo practitioners in very different law practices. Coming from the SEC, Abbe Tiger represents financial industry professionals and others in regulatory and white-collar criminal investigations from her practice in Manhattan. DLS designed the web site, logo and print collateral, and will be finishing the blog shortly. At www.abbetiger.com. Susan Busby has established a new practice in West Hartford, Connecticut. Her matrimonial and family practice focuses on mediation and collaboration. Her intent is to offer methods that are less adversarial, and more economical than litigation. At www.susanbusby.com

December 2009: DLS Connects with Connecticut Clients

Connecticut is one of the most rapidly growing markets for DLS Design's business building proficient web sites for middle-market companies of all kinds. This month we completed the web site for Edgerton HVAC, serving Fairfield Connecticut residential and commercial customers needing heating, air conditioning services -- sales, design and installation. At www.edgertonhvac.com. We also implemented an all-new web site for A.M.I. Contract Foodservice, who provide restaurant and catering equipment, and the engineering services needed to install it, throughout the Middle East. This is the fourth web site we have completed for A.M.I. At www.amifood.com. We built a clean look around each company's branding scheme, making text- and link-rich web sites optimized for high search engine visibility.

November 2009: Mount Sinai Medical Center Sports Medicine

DLS Design adds to our portfolio of important healthcare web sites with the completion of a new site for Mount Sinai Medicial Center, Center for Sports Medicine. Located in Manhattan, the center's doctors specialize in the treatment of athletic injuries, arthroscopic surgery, knee and shoulder reconstructive surgery and new areas such as viscosupplementation and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Patient forms and contact information are a must on medical practice web sites, and the site includes a wealth of these. At www.mountsinaisportsmedicine.com.

November 2009: This Law Web Site is No Crime

Building upon a pre-existing web site by one of the national vendors, which the client felt missed the mark, DLS designed and produced a new one for the law firm of Pagán & Pagán. In designing the new site, we cut away layers of "search-engine speak" — the many subheads and strings of words appearing on web sites in the expectation of helping in search results. This format often results in clutter that is difficult on the human eyes that actually view a site. Pagán & Pagán is a father and son team specializing in criminal defense. They also handle civil litigation and other work. At www.ramonpaganlaw.com.

October 2009: Flying Solo, and Flying Carefully

From web sites to blogs, DLS Design serves the law firm market.

For October, we present the web site of solo-practitioner Keir Dougall, who recently set up a solo-practice law firm. At the client's request, this site avoids animations and other special effects, and keeps its presentation strong with a restricted palette, dark slate color, and minimal use of images. At www.dougallpc.com.

For long-time client Kreindler & Kreindler, we implemented a blog exploring law and aviation safety. Utilizing WordPress technology on the backend, the client is able to administer the site, create new articles, organize the content in multiple ways, and set up a variety of authors and users with differing levels of access. At www.airsafetyandlaw.com.

September 2009: Baby Expo Site is Born

"Strong design. Incredibly fast, thorough, detail-oriented, pro-active approach. Wonderful to work with! Talented team!" — Aija Erglis, It's A Baby And Family Expo

A new consumer/trade exhibition, held at various locations across the US, It's A Baby and Family Expo brings together vendors promoting their juvenile products, technologies and techniques to raise a happy, healthy baby in a safe, clean world. The site is in its infancy, and you can watch it grow. At www.itsababyexpo.com

August 2009: Greg Poe Takes Wing

Mr. Poe's site comes complete with a blog. Fully featured and running off WordPress installed securely on our server, the blog utilizes the same graphic elements we designed for the main site. Our client may post comments and update at will, with no need for additional input from us. See blog.gpoelaw.com

Attorney Greg Poe commences operations the first business day of August 2009, fully equipped with this clean new web site in classic mode. Located in Washington, D.C., his new law firm focuses on the representation of individuals and companies in white collar criminal proceedings and other government enforcement actions. Our implementation of Mr. Poe's blog follows shortly. DLS has certainly developed a sub-specialty among startup law firms, and welcomes all new inquiries. Visit the site at www.gpoelaw.com.
