Case Study: Yaffe & Company

Creating a Fresh, Flexible Website for an Established Consulting Firm

Faced with an old website that was outdated and heavy in textual content, Yaffe asked the Lehigh Valley web design team at KDG to build a new site that was visually engaging, SEO friendly, and up to date.

Optimized for Search

This new site follows SEO best practices and ensures that Yaffe ranks high in the search results. Keyword-heavy and engaging written content establish Yaffe as subject matter experts in the consulting field.

Visual Content

While Yaffe’s old site lacked visual elements, the new site features images of the company’s consultants, as well as fresh video content, so users can see the team at Yaffe as people instead of a faceless company.

Up-to-Date News & Alerts

Healthcare, higher ed, and nonprofits are always changing. When the latest trend or news hits the industry, Yaffe can publish “Hot Topics” surveys on its site, collecting instant data on outlooks and opinions.

Custom WordPress

A totally custom WordPress was built just for Yaffe. The consulting group’s new site is entirely flexible and Yaffe has complete control over the resources it can feature. While the company’s old site was outdated and not easy to update, the team at Yaffe can easily update their new site with fresh content, images, forms, and more. With only a few small clicks, Yaffe can share its content with its audiences around the nation.

Targeting the Right Audience

Yaffe caters to several very distinct audiences, all of which can now find a place on the brand new site. Each audience—leaders in the nonprofit industry, the healthcare industry, and the higher ed industry—all have their own unique resource center where they can find blog posts, reports, survey results, events, and webinars.

Dynamic Features

Thanks to its scalable WordPress framework, Yaffe’s site keeps users coming back with new content, new images, and more. From visit to visit, the site is rarely the same.
