Today the www.cawood.com project has won the 2006 APEX award. The new website is part of Cawood’s new company wide branding initiative and to establish an online presence that matches the quality of service that they provide.

"We are very proud to see Cawood acknowledged for this great project," commented Jonathon Hensley, President and CEO of Empire Group Inc. “It is a testament to all those who worked so hard to make this project a success."

Empire Group provided a combination of consulting and development within the areas of web design, site layout, interactive UI, content management, and site development. Macromedia Flash 8 was chosen for the front-end of the website, as it allowed Empire to make extensive use of video animations and real time filter effects, significantly adding to the user experience within the Cawood website. A back-end Internet technology foundation and customized content management system was established to meet Cawood’s project goals, strengthen future initiatives and lower costs.
