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.

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.
