Website Development

A professional,  well-designed website is a critical communication tool for creating a favorable first and lasting impression and conveying essential information about the firm.

Visiting a company’s website is frequently the first step in determining whether a company is trustworthy,  credible,  and stable.  Prospective investors,  transaction partners,  and other industry constituents often use private equity or real estate investment managers’ websites as an initial means of due diligence and often will determine whether to engage with a firm based on their initial impressions.

With a deep understanding of the private equity and real estate sectors,  we take into consideration the various audiences,  goals,  and required functionality to develop thoughtful websites with responsive designs that elegantly reformat for varying screen resolutions and devices (desktop,  tablet,  and mobile) to provide seamless user experiences.

VISITOR ENGAGEMENT

0 of 0

Darien Group understands that digital engagement in the modern era is characterized by low attention spans.  We harness this reality to our clients’  advantage.

Strong headlines,  consistent and compelling branding,  evocative imagery,  and video content combine to create digital platforms that engage visitors who may be multitasking or otherwise distracted during their time on site.

Detailed and data-driven search engine optimization (SEO) is the key to establishing a high-visibility web presence that gets visitors to your site in the first place.  By auditing search engine results and developing website copy and content with that in mind,  we’re able to capture a higher percentage of a firm’s potential audience and channel them to appropriate messages and information.

Every visit your site receives is a chance to make a lasting impression, and we strive to help our clients maximize this significant potential.
