Siteworx (http://www.siteworx.com) offers deep expertise creating interactive experiences for a wide range of media companies. The U.S. News & World Report redesign effort required a team that is well versed in the nuances of news & publishing websites. From user and interaction design experts to information architects, visual designers and software developers, the Siteworx team leveraged a full range of disciplines, starting first with a deep understanding of U.S. News' audiences and conducting an in-depth competitive analysis against leading news & publishing sites.
Further validating the success of the site, Siteworx was also awarded the 2007 Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award (MEA) in the category of Consumer Service. The Summit MEA competition
is based on the premise that the goal of marketing communications is to change, influence or reinforce a target audience's knowledge, attitudes, or beliefs. "The usnews.com website boasts
a highly educated, relatively affluent readership that spans a wide range of age groups. Siteworx helped U.S. News gain a deeper understanding of their diverse audience needs and
expectations and then ensured those preferences are reflected in every aspect of the new site," said Mejia.
In addition to the creative design, usability analysis and interface design, Siteworx also optimized the site for search engines and provided a streamlined framework that facilitates
frequent, timely updates to attract new and repeat visitors and increase visitor time on the site.
