You can see that the Visual Search provides a potential client or employee with an efficient way to generate a short list of appropriate firms, and then gather more information on each firm. Information is presented in a consistent, user-friendly format with a link to that firm's Web site. In addition to searching for firms, users can search for projects. For example, a user could search for modern, landscape projects in Anaheim, CA, and those projects would be displayed with links back to the firm's Portfolio. Each image found in a project search or accessed through a firm's Portfolio can be clicked to display project data or view a larger version of the image.
Users can also link to the firms existing Web site at any time.
Clients enter their own text and upload their own images in each section. All information entered is searchable through the keyword and criteria search. Each page features clear, concise instructions. In addition, online help is provided. A small question mark icon leads to tips and sample text.
