The home page is visually very appealing. It takes a little bit longer to load that we'd like, and we question the need to have nineteen subsections, which is more than even Yahoo has. Also, the scrolling Java applet was distracting and added no value. With Java turned off, the events highlighted in the applet were not presented on the home page. The firm publishes five listserv lists, to which users can subscribe from the Web site. A generous amount of publications were online, including newsletters, booklets, brochures, and articles. The firm's profile was available in Russian, Spanish, and English, a feature that we'd highlight on the home page. Considerable information was paid to recruiting, which is still the exception for law firm Web sites. Graphics and page layout were professional throughout, and bookmark-friendly titles were employed, which we like. The "Speakers Bureau" section includes information about the firm's most frequent public speakers, including the topics about which they generally speak. We'd lose the "Links" page in favor of a single link to FindLaw, but the firm does a fairly good job of listing interesting starting points on the Web. An extensive and impressive list of clients, including short summaries of each of the clients, is a nice addition to the site. The site map was excellent, and it could even be the firm's home page. The search engine was slow, and output included only the names of the files, not the titles or a summary of the found pages. In fact, we even found a page (http://www.mwbb.com/license.html) that was the license for "ET Applets," which we assume is a piece of software being used on the site. But we're guessing the firm didn't intend this page to be found by the search engine.
