DuKlaw Ventures: a clean website and a clean app for an innovation investment firm

DuKlaw Ventures website & app

At the beginning of this year we were asked by DuKlaw Ventures to build them a simple, clean website focused on their core areas of expertise: helping innovation companies grow by combining mission critical IT resources, experienced leadership in key practice areas, training, education, strong IP technology resources, access to business opportunities and facilitating financing to help the innovation company with operating capital. The end result was the new DuKlaw Ventures website we have launched mid February, followed by the DuKlaw Ventures App in March.

DuKlaw Ventures new website

As seen from the image above the website homepage contains the company logo and the pages DuKlaw wanted to present prominently in the header. To ease navigation for the visitors, the page currently in view has its text colored in blue (we have retained the colour of the logo for this purpose). In addition, the website - obviously! - had to be fully responsive, to accommodate an already significant (and growing) share of their mobile visitors. Below you can see how the homepage transforms itself when viewed on a smaller display.

DuKlaw is unique in their insistence on evaluating each innovation company based on how it fits in the interoperability landscape with other companies and markets. Another fundamental feature DuKlaw Ventures wanted to emphasize is the fact that the company building approach provides the innovation company with the resources, guidance, technology and business opportunities it needs to grow into a profitable enterprise.

Consequently, these are the items that a visitor can immediately see and read more about on DuKlaw’s new website. In the example below you can see someone hovering above the Team, looking for information. To provide useful feedback to the visitor the item of interest changes and becomes filled with the signature blue color.

Growing in an extremely fast paced environment means one has to be permanently on top of all the relevant news. To aid visitors and to emphasize important events and trends, DuKlaw wanted a homepage section devoted to News showing a summary of latest three entries; clicking on any one of these opens the full story on a separate page. Here is how we implemented it:

The bottom of the page is often neglected or overused. We have done neither; after consulting with our client we have dedicated the footer almost exclusively to Newsletter subscription as can be seen from the screencapture presented below:

Expertise is not some mystical concept for a company like DuKlaw Ventures, but rather the cumulative effect of a well functioning team of experts. People want to know the faces, the names of the people they want to come to for an advice or partnership.

DuKlaw offers consultancy, advisory services and resources in essential company building practices led by successful highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the practice subject matter. Consequently, the Team page reflects DuKlaw’s emphasis on the fact that real professionals with real achievements are at the center of this company (see below, left), while the Resources page show the breadth of their expertise (see below, right).

DuKlaw Ventures App

The new website was successfully launched and - as is usual with customers that are thoroughly satisfied - DuKlaw returned to us in March with some questions regarding the possibility of building them an presentation app. Is it true we can make an app in record time at a reasonable price? Can we incorporate our unique tag cloud search module into their app? etc.

Happy with our answers, DuKlaw confirmed their request for an app.

There is a debate among our App Dev team about how long did actually take for us to send them back their requested app. Some argue for 3 hours, others take into account publishing time, certificates, etc and end up with 5 hours. In any case, hours later DuKlaw Ventures could test their app.
