Webb Communications Updates

Who's Who? Marquis Who's Who, That's Who.
Webb Communications recently completed a site update project for Marquis Who's Who, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. The project entailed a complete site redesign of www.MarquisWhosWho.com, creation of an interactive flash site tour, and update of a key back-end business system for America's oldest and most prestigious publisher of biographical reference materials.

Webb has had the pleasure of working for Marquis Who's Who since early 2000, when the company first commissioned us to do an earlier redesign and to develop a critical database / business system which enabled Who's Who to collect biographical information for industry leaders via the web, track bio. submissions, and review, approve, or reject submitted bios. The key benefits of the system include the elimination of data re-entry, the ability to closely track effectiveness of ads and promotions, and easing the ability of professionals wishing to submit their data for publication. Another key part of Webb's work for Marquis Who's Who entailed the update of the company's members-only on-line purchasing system, where commemorative merchandise can be ordered, such as plaques, watches, and other corporate gifts.

The new Marquis Who's Who site design is sleek and easy to navigate, making it easy for visitors to learn about Marquis' products and services. The new on-line Flash tour created by Webb leads visitors through an interactive tour of the company's latest on-line database product. This new product enables subscribers to access a database of more than 1-million leaders and notable figures, past and present.

Webb recently completed a cultural design project for the Sons of Italy in New York. Webb developed and produced banners representing the 20 regions of Italy. The project's objective was to promote the unique history and cultural identity of each region of Italy. The banners are 6ft x 4ft in size and will make a powerful presentation when displayed together. They will be used throughout New York state and, potentially, at the national level.
