Crain's8217;s BtoB magazine recently chose White Horse's8217;s Web site design work for Trane commercial business for its 2009 roundup of 's8220;10 Great B-to-B Sites.'s8221;
White Horse (http://www.whitehorse.com) became the digital agency of record for Trane in December 2008. The agency's8217;s first task was to
collaborate with Trane on the development of a global site roadmap to support the brand's8217;s repositioning as a building services company. Under the roadmap, White Horse and Trane made
interim improvements to the site's8217;s usability in order to enhance performance during the run-up to a comprehensive rearchitecture and redesigned. These interim improvements attracted
the attention of Crain's8217;s BtoB magazine.
The magazine praised the site's8217;s focus on usability, in particular the 's8220;multiple entry points into the same content,'s8221; designed to support a range of common user needs and
behaviors. The partial redesign also added a flexible product search feature to enable search by model number, product categories, or vertical markets.
's8220;We are delighted that Crain's8217;s B2B magazine recognized the Trane site as one of the best B2B Web sites, especially as we believe that the best is yet to come,'s8221; said Jen
Modarelli, White Horse CEO. 's8220;It's8217;s extremely gratifying to work with a forward-thinking organization that embraces user-centered Web design to drive global business
success,'s8221; she added.
White Horse, included in Forrester Research's8217;s 's8220;Where to Find Help for Web Design Projects's8221; 2009 report offers end-to-end Web design services including user research,
user personas, information architecture, and interface development. The agency has mastered the ability to drive rapid brand transformation by simultaneously identifying immediate and
longer-term opportunities in the form of a global roadmap. This approach capitalizes on business opportunities while making the most of existing budgets through the holistic understanding
of user needs and existing resources.
