Late last year, I took over management of CIR’s website and web team and was tasked with relaunching it. In a matter of months, my team had to work with our new developers at Alley Interactive to redesign and relaunch the site for our new brand and public radio show, Reveal, as well as migrate content from our old site to our new WordPress site. To say the least, it was a huge project that got done in a very short amount of time. But I am so proud of the results and the hard work and long weekends my team and Alley put in to it. Now we have this amazing site on which we can innovate and plan new digital experiences.
