Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

San Francisco Bay Area branding and website design & development firm, Project6 Design, proudly announces the launch of a new website for Cogent Legal. The new website features a compelling home page design with an easy-to-use navigation. Additionally, the site boasts a customized portfolio review section that provides sample images and videos of their litigation graphics and trial strategy work, as well as compelling news items and testimonials. The site also includes a client login area for Cogents clients to login and view secure documents related to trials. Project6 built the new website with the Drupal content management system (CMS), which allows Cogent Legal to easily add new content to keep the site both relevant and engaging.

Even though Im an attorney and our clients are other attorneys and law firms, I didnt want Cogent Legals site to look like a law firm site, said Morgan C. Smith, Esq., president and founder of Cogent Legal. I wanted it to look more like an architecture firms site, with clean, modern lines and a visually engaging, easy-to-navigate portfolio of images. Searching for a web design and branding firm that could understand and implement this vision, I went outside the circle of design and marketing firms that have built sites for many law firms to find a design firm whose portfolio conveyed the look and feel I wanted to emulate: Project6 Design in Berkeley. They guided us through a process that dovetailed with my firms strategic planning insofar as it forced me to really think about and better understand the client base and their needs, as well as refine the firms goals.

Our team was just the right size for Cogent. Small enough to have excellent customer service and attention to detail, yet large enough to have the experience and expertise that really fit with their vision, said Esten Sesto, Founder and President of Project6 Design. Its really fulfilling when we can help a business in their efforts to grow and evolve. Cogents new website will serve as a marketing vehicle as well as a communication tool thats customized for their unique needs. Cogent Legal was a great partner in this project and we are really proud of the new website we have created for them.
