Valor Partners, a leader in executive search for the software and technology industries, today announces the launch of its redesigned website, www.valorpartners.com. The new design allows for easier navigation, provides enhanced functionality, and encourages visitors to explore the company’s expertise and knowledge-base through in-depth client company profiles, team profiles, and a streamlined About Us section.

“With our previous site, while people really liked the design, the content and message was simply ‘more of the same,’ said Doug Johnson, President. “In brainstorming the new site with my staff and our web design team we reached the conclusion that less was more. We wanted a message that was brief and concise with a site that was visual appealing. Additionally, the new site will allow us to add and update content as it happens. The feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly positive.”

Due to the evolution of social media and online communications, Valor Partners intends to integrate social media components in addition to their presence on LinkedIn. Over the course of the coming months, Twitter and Facebook profiles will be added, as well as an industry-specific blog. In the short-term, a web portal of all available positions will be added in the next few weeks.

Nashville-based, Morton Southall of Lime Is Good led the site’s redesign in conjunction with Valor Partners’ Marketing Coordinator, Jes Gearing.
