Web site Rip

 

RappCollins.com Web Audit
A Web critique for the global company Ad Age named "Direct Marketer of the Year 2004." I call it a Rip... for good reason. Like extreme yoga (painful, yet liberating) this audit takes apart the Web site in terms of design, copywriting, elements, persuasion etc. The advice is down to earth and practical. If you read nothing else in the DVD/Web section, be sure to read this.

Tia's project management and 'nitpicky' grammar skills served as a strong support for our client service account managers. Enthusiastic by nature and thorough in her QA performance [copyediting, proofreading and interactive testing], Tia wasn't afraid to post her absolute work philosophy '0% error-rate.' Specific to the projects I assigned her, Tia did an excellent job.

Like an orchestra conductor or movie producer, Tia coordinated all the many talents of a large company of people. Putting the story of "The Bhagavad Gita" on DVD is a behemoth task. The client was pleased when she had the idea to find the perfect voice-over talent by hand-picking an unknown Rumi expert. That the product won a 2002 international Summit Award for creative excellence was icing on the cake.
