DotCom Marketing Launches New Website for Ariel Investments

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 15, 2008 ) Chicago, IL. - DotCom Marketing, Inc. announced today the launch of Ariel Investments new corporate website. After several months of research and development the site was officially launched Wednesday, April 30, 2008. The site can be viewed online at http://www.arielinvestments.com .

One of the reasons behind the new website was due to the fact that Ariel recently went under a new name change in 2008. DotCom worked closely with Ariel's Peter Tevonian (Director, Internet Marketing & Operations) as well as Ariel's print designers (Wechsler Ross and Associates) to facilitate not only a re-branding of the Ariel Consumer website, but also a complete site redesign. Part of the process involved combining the Ariel Financial Adviser and Institutional Investor sites into the redesigned site.

DotCom has developed a custom backend content management system for Ariel, which allows them to easily manage all aspects of their web presence. DotCom has worked with Ariel for over 10 years and they are looking forward to implementing a wide range of new tools and features for them in 2008.
