Welcome to the first post of The Hagerman Group blog. The Hagerman blog is a place for our employees and guest writers to debate topics that are of interest to our clients, subcontractors, suppliers, architects/engineers and others who have an interest in the construction industry. We have a group of bloggers who will write about several topics including renewable energy, sustainability, green construction, legislative issues, new construction methods and materials, industry events, delivery methods and safety.
Last month we launched or new website http://www.thehagermangroup.com/. As we began the re-design process we decided that we wanted a site that was more interactive than our previous sites, thus the idea for the Hagerman blog was born.
When I joined The Hagerman Group in the late 1990’s, we did not have a website, email was a new communication tool, Facebook, texting and Twitter did not exist and the primary source of news was the daily newspaper. Technology has changed the way people communicate and how they seek information. For The Hagerman Group to be a 21st Century Company we must constantly seek out new ways to communicate the Hagerman brand.
The site we launched in 1999 was an online brochure about The Hagerman Group. It was great website for 1999 but a site that would not work today. Since then, we have re-designed our website twice. My guess is that we will re-design our site again in a few years. I met with a software consultant this week who said websites have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years. What will be the next trend in websites? I'd love to hear from you and learn what trends you are seeing in website design and programming.
Thanks to Brand Acceleration for their leadership on our website re-design.
