Just released, the Michigan Economic Development Association?s (MEDA) 2nd Annual Marketing Materials Competition has announced The City of Southfield web site as ?Best Web Site? for the population below 100,000 residents category.
Congratulations to Steve Jencks of RetroDC and Artemis Solutions Group for the inclusion of his original logo into LogoLounge, an group that publishes an international book for designers around the world to get inspiration for their logo design.
From Artemis Vice President, Bunmi Akinyemiju:
Itâ??s been a long 7 months for everyone who worked on the City of Southfieldâ??s website! We are finally live: www.cityofsouthfield.com. Kudos to the team for great work.
This is surely the largest website we have ever built, and surely the most challenging web project we have ever undertaken!
…
Despite all the challenges and hiccups along the way, this was a very unique opportunity for us in many ways.
….
Again, great work to everyone who contributed to the success of this project. Despite the unanticipated size and volume of work and resources that went into thisâ?¦I strongly believe that the visibility benefits from this project will open up several new doors for us.
I don’t tend to brag but I’m proud that one of my favorite clients, the Greater Lansing Sports Authority had this to say about me in their comments in our Customer Feedback Survery:
Joseph Sak, the Web Developer on the project was a true, dedicated partner in this process. His know-how, as well as friendly and approachable nature made the project not only seamless from a development side, but truly fun and exciting to work on.
and
After having looked at other cities and their sports event planning specific sites in our research process, we now consider our own truly best-of-class.
Check out their web site at www.lansingsports.org. We’re all quite proud of it here at Artemis
[UPDATE]
Since this time, the GLCVB has invited me to their skybox at the Oldsmobile Park, sent me two Christmas cards (one from an employee, one from the company), invited me to a Member Mixer this week, and gave me passes to Be a Tourist in Your Own Town along with a letter of acclamation. I am very thankful for the gratitude, hospitality, courtesy and friendship of the GLCVB marketing staff. They are the nicest, brightest people I’ve met in this industry, and they make me excited to do my job. We have always worked very well together, with friendliness, honesty and fun. Thanks to Brendan, Laura, Tracy, and Laurie. You guys have been all-stars in our work together.
