(NASDAQ: PRFT) ("Perficient"), the leading digital transformation consulting firm serving Global 2000® and other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced its agency, Perficient Digital, won one Platinum and two Gold honors for website development in the 2017 Hermes Creative Awards, which recognize the excellence and creativity of communications and marketing professionals worldwide.
Perficient Digital received a Platinum Award in the Mobile Website category for a site rebuild that serves Mohawk Flooring, the world’s largest manufacturer of flooring. The new site, which features product views using color swatches, allows customers to search Mohawk’s catalog by zip code to see which of the products are sold nearby.

Perficient Digital also won Gold in the Nonprofit category for redesigning TheHenryFord.org, the website of The Henry Ford indoor-outdoor museum complex in suburban Detroit. The website features more than 54,000 pages of rich visual design in a responsive customer experience across several channels and devices.
