For us responsive isn’t a requirement, it’s an expectation. We were one of the first electric utilities to have a responsive website, built about seven years ago. We’ve worked with Sparkbox for a number of years and they’ve really helped guide us in that direction. Well actually, for us, going responsive was never a question. Specifically, as you were starting to think about this new website, how was the decision made to go responsive? What was appealing about that as a methodology? Or maybe on the other side of the coin, did any stakeholders or executives have any concerns about the approach? I’d love to hear a little more background there. Maybe we could back things up and actually just start from the beginning of the story, because I’d love to hear a little bit more about how the redesign was kicked off. We are really excited to talk about this beautiful responsive site. So, I do both content strategy for Sparkbox and then also manage projects, which I did for this one. We’re a web design studio in Dayton, Ohio, and we work with some awesome clients, like Cindy. Hey everybody, I’m Emily Gray, title is content strategist at Sparkbox. Sure! I’m Cindy DeVelvis, digital communication specialist at Dayton Power & Light, which is an AES company, and responsible for all the website, social media, and digital strategy for the company. So, before we talk a little bit about Ohio Certified Sites, maybe you both could introduce yourselves for our audience. Head on over to /RWD to read their advice or download a PDF to share with your team. And because they are such great people, they wrote down their advice for you! They’ve put together a 41-page guide to Content Strategy for Website Projects. Because Gather Content works with so many organizations going through a website redesign, they have unique insight into how content fits into a web project. Gather Content provides some much needed structure and editorial workflow to help manage a large-scale content creation process. I recommend Gather Content to my own clients who are going through a website redesign. I’m thrilled that they’ll be sponsoring this podcast for the rest of the year. Cindy:īut before we get on with it, I’d like to welcome back our sponsor, Gather Content. Cindy, Emily, thank you so much for joining us. Ethan:Īnd this week, well, we’re like a little kid running through the apartment just turning on all the lights, because we couldn’t be more excited to speak with Cindy DeVelvis and Emily Gray who are here to tell us a little bit about, which was brought to us by Dayton Power & Light. Karen:Īnd I’m your other host, Karen McGrane. Hi, this is a Responsive Web Design Podcast, where we interview the people who make responsive designs happen.
