The Nigro Firm, Inc Web Site

Nigrofirm.com was the first site we launched for our company. We did everything ourselves, from the coding to creating our own logo. We also hired an SEO specialist to help create original content and took our own photographs so we could include unique images instead of stock photography. In addition, all of the building renderings are from projects that we actually worked on. We did all of these things so we could stand out from the crowd by having unique content and a look and feel that is much different than our competitors sites.

Our industry presents some unique challenges, for one, rarely are our services searched for through search engines. This is because not many people know construction document coordination review services exist and if they do know they exist - they don't know what to call them. Some people call them coordination reviews, others constructibility reviews, or redicheck reviews, or cross checks or some just refer to them as construction document reviews. So playing the search engine game is challenging. That is why we created our construction humor site and our newsletters, to help people know we exist, to educate them about our services and to share with them our personalties and our perspectives on the construction industry.

The Nigro Firm web site was a challenge to create. We learned tons about coding and web site building in a very short period of time. In regards to the specifics we used freecsstemplates.org for our template, which we altered quite a bit, and used CS3's version of DreamWeaver as our html editor.
