Hinshaw & Culbertson's home page (the page you see after the relatively pointless splash screen) is a great example of both what to do and what not to do. In the "what to do" category, we have the fact that the links to all subsections are presented in the first screen of information. As a result, visitors don't need to scroll down through several screens just to find the link to attorney bios. In the "what not to do" category is the twenty (yes, twenty) paragraphs of text below the first screen. We doubt many people want to read that much about the firm - but if they do, they should be able to seek it out. Placing it on the home page is just overwhelming. Once past the home page, mostly good design decisions prevail: links continue to be available on the first screen, navigation is simple (and consistent), and information is very readable. Oddly enough, there is little content at all here - no attorney bios, no articles, no newsletters. At least attorney e-mail addresses are listed, but we've come to expect a little more.
