McLean, VA (PRWEB) April 25, 2010

The Coulter Companies, which increase the market relevance, brand power and sustainability of socially principled, high potential nonprofit organizations and their corporate supporters, recently launched a new website, http://www.coultercos.com. Designed by the award-winning web-design firm, Blue Water Media, the website showcases the many services provided to both corporate and nonprofit clients.

Our goal was to engage our current and prospective clients in the varying ways we partner with and achieve success with both nonprofits and corporations, said Erin M. Fuller, CAE, group president, Coulter Strategy & Innovation.

The new website combines an engaging user interface with an intuitive site architecture resulting in an enjoyable and streamlined user experience. The homepage opens with a rotating image of a client event produced by Coulter Events. Incorporated in the image is a quote by Rudolf Flesch which encapsulates the companys guiding principles, Creativity may simply be the realization that theres no particular virtue to doing things the way theyve always been done. Beneath the image are links to the companys three main services: association management, event management and consulting, strategy & innovation.

The websites main toolbar has links to: Home, Our Clients, Our Services, Our People, Case Studies, News, and About Us. Each link leads to a wealth of company information. For example, the case studies link leads to illustrations of Coulters work through its individual business units. The association management case studies link leads to a number of studies including one where the company helped instill entrepreneurial thinking into a trade association. The Coulter Companies partnership with the association resulted in an increase in association revenues of over 500 percent.

Blue Water Media designed The Coulter Companies website to stimulate an enjoyable user experience and allow the company to connect with its users. To provide an enjoyable user experience, Blue Water Media designed an original graphical interface to catch the users attention. To help the company connect with users, Blue Water Media installed Joomla, an award-winning content management system. Joomla enables its clients to build and update their websites through a user-friendly format. Blue Water Media also installed a company blog allowing Coulter to keep customers abreast of the latest company and industry news. To further connect with its stakeholders, The Coulter Companies bolstered their social media presence and added links to social media pages above the websites main toolbar in order to better connect users with Coulters robust presence on Facebook, Linked In and Twitter, as well as content tagging via Delicious and Flickr.
