MMA Launches New Website
Morehouse MacDonald and Associates, Inc., is proud to introduce its brand new company website. Internally conceived, the new site was designed and developed by the award-winning international WordPress agency Crowd Favorite. Carefully crafted and custom coded, the new MMA website delivers bold enlarged stunning imagery and powerful Social Web publishing capacity across all Internet devices, from your iPhone to your super large computer screen. On a 27-inch Apple iMac, for instance, the website delivers rich color and black & white 2K photography, while an internal engine smartly downsizes imagery for mobile viewing to popular iPad and smartphone devices.
Materials and Detail Matter
Our distinguished body of work is the type of architecture that must be experienced in order to truly be appreciated—not just in the varied spatial conditions presented to the occupants—but equally important in the richness of materials and the high-calibre craftsmanship consistently delivered in all our projects.
The new website helps visitors get much closer to the work. It is now possible to see details like wood grain and textures, and rich fabrics and textiles, on walls and furniture pieces that previously were not easily discernible. MMA takes great pride in its ability to thoughtfully execute delightful and personalized touches in its architecture, especially where the client is close to the experience of a building.
A Mobile Reality
Our new website fully accounts for the fact that a greater percentage of web viewing is happening on smartphones and tablet computers. Nearly 20 percent of all visitors to the MMA site are viewing it on such mobile devices. A full dynamic ‘responsive’ web site design delivers all content appropriately scaled to both tablet computers of all sizes and smartphones. It is especially enjoyable to peruse the new MMA website on a tablet device, like Kindle or iPad, in vertical portrait mode.
MMA’s new website was beautifully conceived to work optimally on popular tablet computers, especially in portrait ‘reading mode.’
Whether in portrait or landscape mode makes no difference, our new website will adapt and present a diversity of layouts on all mobile devices based on screen resolution size, keeping navigation accessible and scaled to a touch-screen interface. Primary animated behaviors delivered on the desktop are also delivered to mobile devices.
New Blog: Plus, We’ve Gone Social!
The new website will help keep our wonderful clients, collaborators, and industry press ‘up-to-date’ on MMA’s latest activities. The News page is a new Social-powered blog and site visitors are encouraged to share and ‘Like’ our posts. From the Work portfolio section site visitors can both Tweet and Like posts and share on their social media walls.
MMA has gone totally social on the web, adding to existing Houzz and Facebook pages with a new Twitter account, so users of Twitter can keep track of all MMA announcements. And MMA won’t just be shouting out about ourselves. Our partners do amazing work, with us and with others, and we are very proud of their talents and our association with them. We will be keeping an eye out for their noteworthy efforts and shining a well-deserved light on them.
We hope you enjoy looking at our body of work on our new MMA website as much as we do.
