Razorfish Redesigns Charles Schwab Site

New York City agency Razorfish and Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
launched a redesigned Web site for the online brokerage,
putting more of the information investors need immediately at their
fingertips.

Razorfish said it worked with the Schwab team to determine strategy,
objectives, and design guidelines for the site as well as for individual sections and
features, leading to the development of a consistent user experience. Billings

“Together Razorfish and Schwab have created a user-focused experience which
highlights Schwab’s commitment in using technology to better service its
customers,” said Jeff Dachis, president and CEO of Razorfish. “The newly
redesigned Web presence definitively establishes Schwab as the leader in
online investment services and plays a critical role in Schwab’s continued
success.”

most active electronic commerce sites in the world, with weekly trade
transactions totaling $26 billion in value for the first quarter of this year.

investors’ actual account holdings, MarketBuzz–an electronic gateway to
more than 80 third-party financial information providers, Mutual Fund
