Of all the international web awards shows out there, the Internet Advertising Competition is considered one of the best,” said Pat Harris, creative director at LHWH. “We designed the McLeod Health website to be one that is experienced, not just viewed. For mobile, our goal was to take full advantage of mobile device features and how users interact with these devices. Using analytics from McLeod Health’s old site, we put all the tools that customers most desired – within a thumb’s reach. Essentially creating a ‘remote control’ for better health, via McLeod Health’s website design and their medical excellence.”
