American Web Design Awards picks Hartford Design’s work for Arbor Investments

The website for Arbor Investments’ Trudeau Distributing was part of a rebranding effort for Trudeau. The effort included a new brand vision and voice as well as site design, development and  search engine optimization.

This Graphic Design USA annual competition - the American Web Design Awards - celebrates the power of well-designed websites and other online communications to attract audiences, generate engagement and response, and promote products, services and ideas. The idea resonates: entries nearly doubled this year. Still, only 100 design organizations were honored this year.
