Web development that makes Colorado proud

By Rob Howard

Since 2011, I’ve called the Denver metro area home and fallen in love with the beauty and spirit of Colorado. That’s given me and my team the opportunity to work with many well-known local organizations to deliver handcrafted WordPress and custom application development. Here are a few highlights from our work in Colorado…

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment

We created four new web sites – two in English and two in Spanish – for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in support of their 2020 flu and MMR vaccination campaigns. At a time when public health and preventative medicine were at the top of everyone’s mind and CDPHE was stretched thin by the COVID-19 pandemic, we delivered these four high-end, mobile-friendly web sites in just three weeks from start to finish.

Denver Preschool Program

The Denver Preschool Program makes quality preschool possible for all Denver families with 4-year-old children. Funded by a local sales tax approved by voters in 2006, DPP has provided over $122 million in tuition support to help more than 55,000 Denver children attend the preschool of their family’s choice.

We’ve been handling all web development for DPP since 2018, and during that time we’ve rebuilt their website as a lightning-fast, mobile-optimized WordPress site. We added an advanced mapping tool that allows parents to easily search and filter among more than 200 schools in the Denver area.

And most recently, we developed an easy-to-use, mobile-friendly online application tool to allow parents to apply for tuition credits through an online, completely paperless interface. The online tuition credit application and the web site are available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic and Somali to ensure we’re serving the vast majority of Denver residents.

Colorado State University’s Rocky Mountain Student Media

Since 2016, we’ve built and managed the web properties for Colorado State University’s high-traffic student media sites, including The Rocky Mountain Collegian newspaper and the KCSUFM radio station. Our rebuild of the Collegian site dramatically improved its performance and speed, allowing the organization to sell more web advertising and pump those new funds back into educating the next generation of journalists.

We help the students and professional student-media business team at CSU manage all their web sites, ensure every site is running as snappily and securely as possible, and assist with a continuously flow of new design and development projects, all while helping students get their first taste of working with high-end web properties.

We’re proud to be a part of what makes Colorado great. If you’re interested in working with us on a local project, you can get in touch right here.
