Our award-winning design team has evolved from merely winning awards to becoming esteemed judges for multiple academies. We take pride in shaping the benchmarks for excellence in web design and user experience.

Our Art Director serves as a judge for The Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA) which sanctions all judging and maps the strategic direction for the Communicator, Davey, and w3 awards programs. Membership in this academy requires demonstrable expertise in the categories being reviewed, and our Art Director and team have consistently won Gold awards in these programs within the legal landscape.

Our Art Director also serves as a judge for The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), which presents renowned awards like The Webby Awards, The Lovie Awards, and The Anthem Awards. With a network of over 2000 intellectually diverse members, they help drive the creative, technical & professional progress of the Internet. Our team has earned multiple nominations for the prestigious Webby Award, securing a win in 2023 for best legal website. Additionally, we have been honored twice with Lovie Awards in 2023 for responsible technology in the legal vertical.

Furthermore, our Art Director's recognition extends beyond award ceremonies; she has been interviewed by esteemed institutions like Rutgers University and WP Engine, showcasing her expertise and excellence in website design.
