Check this out! Our Senior Developer, Seth Hill has a lot of web development experience with both higher ed and government websites. He recently joined Pantheon Platform to chat about best practices for complex web development processes.

During the strategy phase of our website redesign projects, we aim to understand both the site users' needs and the organization's goals. In our latest article, we walk through how we connect the dots between user research and information architecture to ensure a successful redesign like we did for Tampa International Airport (TPA) and Sanford Underground Research Facility. https://hubs.li/Q02DCkP80
