2013-2014 SMPS-LA Call for Nominations Form

By: David Lecours, Creative Director of LecoursDesign

Websites should have an expiration date. You can’t afford to let a prospective client’s first impression of your firm be spoiled. Since web technology is constantly evolving, it’s critical to keep your site fresh. How do you know when it’s time to redesign your site? Here are the top 5 symptoms LecoursDesign sees when AEC firms come to us to update their site. A properly designed site will eliminate these maladies to help your firm attract great clients and talent.

1) Where You Were, Not Where You’re Headed

If your site communicates where your firm was three years ago, not where it’s going to be in three years, it’s time to update your site. There is a good chance that the strategic direction of your firm has evolved since you created the last version of your site. You may be pursuing new markets, have new leaders or projects, or offer new services. An effective site is a beacon that transmits your strategic plan three years into the future.

Solution: Great clients and talent are attracted to firms that have a clear vision of where they are headed. Update the copywriting and design of your site to look forward, not backward.

2) You Have To Call Your Web Designer to Make Simple Updates

You may have a new project, person or press release that you want to add to your site. You know how easy it is to make these simple updates on your personal blog (or so you’ve heard). So, it’s frustrating that making simple content updates on your firm’s website requires you to hire your web designer to make these changes. Your web designer is busy so it takes a couple weeks and costs you more than it should. There has got to be a better way.

Solution: There is a better way. Redesign your site to incorporate a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS is an easy-to-use back end to your site that allows you to make content updates without having to know code.

3) Your Site Doesn’t Have a Blog

Your site may have a News category because it sounded good at the time, but nobody in your firm is responsible for updating this section. As a result, the latest news item is dated 2009, sending the message that your firm hasn’t accomplished anything noteworthy since the previous decade. Or, maybe you have Thought Leaders in your firm who are speaking at conferences or writing articles or white papers but that content dies after being delivered. You never recoup a return on the investment of preparing the article or presentation.

Solution: Your thought leadership content should live indefinitely on your site in a blog. This will boost the likelihood that a prospective client will find your firm when Googling for topics covered in your blog posts. Experts call this Content Marketing, an effective way to move a prospective client from getting to know, to like, to trust your firm.

4) Weak Visual Impact

A sure sign of a dated site is one that is stuck in the upper left corner or a site that features only small, unimpactful photography. Websites used to be no more than 800 pixels wide to ensure fast loading for those on dial-up modems and with small screens. Your clients now use broadband and have bigger monitors and browser windows so it’s time to grow the size of your site.

Solution: Redesign your site to be 960 pixels wide or larger. It should re-center, or scale, as you increase the size of your browser window. Even if the whole site doesn’t fill the entire browser window, it should feel like it occupies the space with the confidence of a strong presence. Show off your projects with the powerful photography that they deserve.

5) Mobile Unfriendly

As you may know, sites built entirely on the Flash platform are not viewable on iOS devices (iPhone and iPads) unless the designer created an alternate iOS friendly site. Another issue with your current site may be that the navigation or design elements depend on rollovers or clicks of a mouse. This is a problem for mobile friendly sites that depend on touch as the primary user interface device.

Solution: Redesign your site to be mobile friendly. “Web Everywhere” is the new mantra and mobile devices will only increase their presence in our lives. If your site will primarily be viewed via mobile devices, consider creating an app, or a custom mobile site that delivers content specifically designed for that device. At minimum, make sure your site is mobile friendly to deliver your content effectively to a prospective client or employee.

Websites should be considered a living entity. As such, they have a lifecycle. If any of the above symptoms are present in your site, then your site is in decline. It’s time to consult your friendly web developer to provide an audit your site.

By: Veda Solomon, President of Veda Solomon Consulting

I first met Nancy Egan at a national SMPS conference – maybe Portland, maybe Manhattan, maybe Houston. All I know is when she hits you with that warm smile and that intelligent gleam in her eye, you know you have met the best in the business.

A pioneer in the field of professional services marketing, Nancy held senior marketing and management positions with several international design firms before establishing her independent practice in 1992.  In 1993, Nancy joined with Marjanne Pearson and Paul Nakazawa to form a strategic alliance working with the leadership of talent-based organizations to develop strategies for integrated decision-making. They brought a new message to architects and designers, encouraging their clients to think outside the box and become true business strategists.  Most recently Nancy and Marjanne collaborated on two articles for the SMPS Marketer: “Preactive Strategies (June 2012) followed by “Small Firms Act Big” (October 2012).

I was so intrigued by recommending this way of thinking to my own clients (“Preactive Strategies”) that I asked Nancy to sit down with me and tell me more:

NE: Architects must try to frame the question before trying to solve the problem. Where’s the opportunity? How is it talked about? A pre-active strategy means becoming more strategic before the opportunities arise.

VS: How does that change the way firms pursue business?

NE: Firms need to not ‘chase’ but to create the opportunities by finding a shared language in which to speak with prospective clients. Is there a need for something that is not being talked about?

VS: We who do business development are always looking for new ways in which to present our firms…

NE: A firm must be interested in ‘ideas’, not just the specific project but the bigger picture.  Get involved with the cultural discussion and find out what is driving the project or even the ideas behind the planning. It’s a more organic process than just networking and doing research.

VS: Will this way of thinking work for all markets?

NE: Each market has its trigger points. Take Healthcare – changes are coming that will drive the conversation and the ways hospital systems will look at their budgets and their needs. It’s not the object – it’s what is informing the object.

VS: Should this affect marketing as well?

NE: Marketing people can say “What are the stories we can tell and how can we connect them to the bigger idea?”

Finally, I paraphrase from the first article by Nancy and Marjanne the following:
What holds firms back from creating new strategies for obtaining business is:

1. Nostalgia – assuming that things will ‘get back to normal’
2. Caution – it’s difficult to change and make hard decisions
3. Uncertainty – Not being able to see the potential danger of inactivity
4. Over Confidence - How hard could this be? We’ve  been through it before and we survived
5. Lack of Leadership – Not all leaders are willing to take risks and ‘rock the boat’.

My advice as a strategic business development consultant is Be Bold – help your firm come up with a new way of speaking to their clients and prospects – find the story that interests people and start new dialogues.

Mark your calendar for the fourth annual SMPS Pacific Regional Conference. The WAVE will come rolling in February 20-22, 2013 to Portland, Oregon. It is a great opportunity to educate and enhance our best resource -- ourselves. Catch the WAVE.

Check out a few of the reasons why conference co-chair, Katherine Robinette, Resources Director at David Evans and Associates, attends the Pacific Regional Conference.

1. To learn something (hopefully a LOT of somethings). Regional Conference has a TON of info geared towards senior marketers/professionals. It isn’t all entry-level or principal-level material.
2. To assess the market – is everyone experiencing what we’re experiencing, and if not, why.
3. To catch up with teaming partners and network – one of the only times in the year I get face time with my marketing collaborators
4. To promote my company – through informal conversation, our sponsorship/booth, and my own good deeds in supporting the conference.
5. To get a “flavor” of the town where the conference is held. I gain so much more insight into the people I work with in that town when I get a feel for the place where they live, work, and play.

Register online today!

Here are ten dreams that our chapter leaders have already accomplished:

4. CPSM Study Group – fully organized, ready to rumble, and off to a running start...the study group is there for you to guide you in successfully passing the CPSM exam.

8. Eventbrite – our new registration system is simpler, more aesthetically pleasing to deal with, and connects to your social sites in case you want to let the world know that you are attending an awesome event.
9. The Society Pages – don't miss our Facebook posts, Tweets, or LinkedIn updates.
10. A brand new website – what are you waiting for, explore the new site!

There is one dream that will take all year to accomplish...making sure that our members feel that our chapter values them, that our events are well attended, that we party like rock stars at least twice. Stay tuned for Holiday Party details.

All best,

Professional Branding: The updated profile includes a larger, more prominent picture, which makes your headshot more important than before. Use something professional rather than a crop-and-chop job you did on a photo from your recent trip to Vegas. Next, customize your URL. Visit the "Edit Profile" tab and click "Edit" next to your current URL. This is where you can customize your LinkedIn domain name so you can better brand your account. If you leave what LinkedIn automatically inputs, there will be extra numbers and characters that add noise. Lastly, complete your profile so other users understand who you are and what you do. Additionally, when your profile is 100% complete, this automatically ranks you higher in search results. Take the time and get it done, for both yourself and your company.

Business Development and Networking: Start strategically building your network by connecting on LinkedIn with trusted peers, former colleagues and classmates, industry leaders, and other professionals. Don’t be shy. If there is a client you are actively pursing, check to see if anyone in your network is connected to the client. If there is, ask for an introduction. Or try utilizing LinkedIn’s InMails to communicate directly with the person you are seeking an introduction to.

Manage Your Contacts: After you connect with someone, don’t forget to “tag” them. This helps to organize your connections for quick filtering and will help you remember when and where you met someone. Tag your connections by selecting a connection and clicking "Edit Tags.” Another valuable feature is the ability to export all of your contacts. At the bottom of the contacts page, click “Export Connections” to download all of your LinkedIn contacts. Utilize this function when developing emailing lists for your firm’s marketing materials – pull your contacts and work with firm leadership to pull their contacts. Since people manage their own contact information on LinkedIn, it is usually always up-to-date.

Industry Expert: Build your personal brand by showcasing that you have proficient knowledge about your profession by following and sharing industry news. This will position you as a valuable resource. One tip when posting status updates with web links – make sure you “Edit” your links. The link will default to the beginning of the article or website you are linking to. Take an extra minute to edit the headline and body of the linked information to something that is attention grabbing and presenting only the most relevant information. Also, use LinkedIn as an industry resource. The addition of LinkedIn Today in the News section allows you to see what articles are trending in your network or you can follow the trending news in your firm’s various practice areas.

Industry and Public Relations: Join Groups to achieve targeted exposure. Most professional organizations now have dedicated Group pages: SCUP, ULI, ect. Become a member and join in the Discussions – they are filled with meaningful conversations. Post thought leadership articles from your firm, but be cautious that you are promoting the knowledge or expertise within the article and not just selling services, otherwise Group admins could remove you.

Company Profiles: Similar to Groups, all marketers should get active on their company page and post firm thought leadership. Previously, updates would go out to all followers, now companies can target updates to specific followers. You are able to customize your distribution list by company size, industry, job function, seniority, and geography in a highly targeted way. Two other changes that happened just this month are LinkedIn is now allowing companies to add a cover-style image that represents the company/brand, and the LinkedIn mobile app now lets users look up company pages – previously you could only search for people.
