1000+ ATTIC Cravings

We launched ATTIC/crave last year, a new experimental service that allows the public to see specific furniture, decor and fashion products that community members are on the hunt for. The items are typically vintage and hard to find. They may be 20, 30, 40 or more years old and perhaps only a few still exist […]

Manage Campaigns & Donors at Scale

Our neighborhood schools facing interesting challenges. We’ve been helping one local school’s administration tackle annoying paper cuts with a homegrown custom-built platform (that we have boringly called School Year), and one of the tasks is to manage donations. One type of donation, grade-wide school fundraisers, require every family to contribute. In the past, tracking that […]

The 20 Minute Website

A friend’s need for a website for their small business turned into a personal challenge. What’s the fastest way to get a free, simple website up and running, from absolute scratch? One answer appears to be using a combination of GitHub and CloudFlare. Et voila, done. In literally 20 minutes. The website was live. Introducing […]

ATTIC Search Alerts

Last year we introduced product alerts. These alerts are set by users looking for a specific product that already existed on ATTIC, say a vintage 80s Hawaiian shirt. It might be sold out at one store, but might pop up somewhere else completely different. Our alert system works like an automated personal shopping assistant that […]

ATTIC Product Alerts

Given ATTIC’s focus on goods sold by vintage dealers and unique boutiques, or made by small shops and artisans, the products you find on ATTIC are not things you can expect to find at a big box store or an Internet giant like Amazon or Walmart. The items can be exceptionally rare. To help shoppers […]

State Education Standard (Digital First)

For the first time in its history, NASBE launched a digital-only version of the State Education Standard, a refereed journal that provides insight into education policy issues that are significant for state boards of education. We designed and built the new digital-first theme, based in WordPress, which gives priority to on-screen readibility for all devices, […]

Who Pays, 7th Edition Launched

Proud to have supported the technical elements and launch logistics for ITEPs seventh edition of WhoPays, the only distributional analysis of tax systems on each state in the United States. That is, it shines light on which states have relatively fair/unfair tax policies in terms of progressive or regressive tax systems. As we've done for […]

Launched: Petworth PorchFest Website

After witnessing and benefiting from the first two years of Petworth PorchFest, we volunteered our time and corporate resources to build a website for the annual event. It's the event's first website and we plan to add a variety of interactive features in the future, in particular for the day of the event.

State of WIC Microsite Launched

We're pleased to announce the launch of the State of WIC microsite, a site we built for the National WIC Association. The report—supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation—highlights the experiences of WIC providers and stakeholders, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, and will serve as a resource for WIC administrators, providers, and researchers.  The optimized, WordPress-based website […]
