CPR is on a mission to provide its state with trustworthy, intelligent, and local news coverage at a time when regional newsrooms are shrinking. To meet their goal, CPR required an experienced partner who could guide them from requirements gathering all the way through design, development, content migration, and, ultimately, a new live site. Alley answered the call with a newly designed headless site with a persistent audio player, totally new user flow, and more.

We’re avid travelers at Alley, and airline miles are a common topic of conversation in our company Slack. Because we’re on the go so often, we’re big fans of Brian Kelly and the team at The Points Guy. That’s one reason why we were so excited to work with them and launch the new ThePointsGuy.com site.

Direct Relief is a humanitarian aid organization, but also embodies many of the qualities of a news media organization. Its staffers turn on a dime in response to health crises, producing content at a rapid pace to document crises and the organization’s response. On a moment’s notice, DR must launch humanitarian and disaster relief landing pages complete with donation requests and updates from the field. Our goal for this project was clear: to revamp directrelief.org, matching this well-honed physical operation with a modern design and online editorial workflow for curation and publishing.
