The Exploratorium's Online Engagement

Collaborated with the On-line Media team to develop and design a responsive website built on a custom Drupal 7 CMS. Brought the Exploratorium's main website through two major redesigns. We accomplished much in this, moving heaven and earth over the course of two years. In order to grant editors and scientists a way to manage their own content as it appears on the world wide web. The Exploratorium, serving you from the world wide web since 1992.
