The Brookings Institution engaged Alley in June of 2015 for a comprehensive redesign encompassing research, information architecture, user experience, editorial strategy, visual design, and software development, culminating in the relaunch of their website, Brookings.edu on August 1st, 2016.
Officially launched at the ONA 2018 conference, Alley created a unified portal for years of ONA conferences and resources to educate journalists and members far into the future.
Alley brought a dozen different sites running several different legacy systems together on one platform. The result is one of the most sophisticated WordPress sites on the web that maintains the simplicity and usability that has made WordPress the web's favorite platform.
People is one of the best-known media properties in the world and People.com is the go-to destination for millions of readers interested in lifestyle content, human interest stories and celebrity news. Our relaunch of People.com is now one of the largest sites on the WordPress.com VIP platform.
The online edition of the New York Post faced multiple challenges in today’s demanding digital news environment. Alley relaunched the site and led one of the largest content migrations in the history of WordPress.
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.
Alley designed and developed websites for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, The Denver Post, and the San Jose Mercury News, three of Digital First Media’s flagship newspapers. The resulting national design system supports the identity of each paper while delivering an economy of scale to DFM.
Direct Relief is an award-winning nonprofit providing critical health care, supplies, and monetary support to people facing poverty and emergencies around the world. Alley and Direct Relief worked together to design a site that uses storytelling to convey the organization’s impact and increase donor engagement.
Alley has had the privilege of working with the Freer|Sackler Gallery to bring their collections online. Using access to The Museum System (TMS) databases, we built an open-source WordPress plugin to sync their collections into WordPress. These objects were then replicated in Elasticsearch, making them searchable via facets and other advanced options.
Alley’s ongoing relationship with CCF began when they hired us to redesign and replatform their website. Alley conducted a site audit and a series of user interviews to understand where users struggled most and how to prioritize site fixes. Since that initial relaunch, Alley continues to iterate on design and is now guiding CCF in bringing their research to life through data visualization.
