Earlier this week, we launched a new website for a client whom we've been working with over the past six months or so. The website is particularly close to our heart because of the cause it supports. Greater St. Louis Works (http://www.greaterstlouisworks.org/) is a group of private and public sector partners who have come together to make sure that St. Louis attracts, develops, and retains the great IT talent needed to compete in the global marketplace. Needless to say, being a Web development firm headquarted in St. Louis, this project was particularly interesting to us.As the initiative is in its early stages, we guided the website strategy and provided design, development and deployment services. The website serves as the focal point for communication of this effort along with events and communications from the partners themselves and the St. Louis Regional Chamber of Growth Association.
Greater St. Louis Works really gave us the keys to drive this project; giving us the freedom to do what we do best. As a result, they were able to focus on their day-to-day business while we handled the website - getting their feedback and decisions as needed.
The resulting website was unveiled in downtown St. Louis to about a hundred IT business leaders interested in the intiative. The event was a success and additional collaborative efforts are now in the works to continue the evolution and expansion of the website to further boost the efforts of Greater St. Louis Works. So stay tuned to see the new features and community-related components to come.
