A sampling of our web projects
Client
The Advance Vermont Group (part of VSAC) seeks to increase educational attainment for Vermonters of all backgrounds.
Goals
AVG sought to present research data on educational attainment from a mix of sources in an easily digestible format. In technical terms, they wanted an SPA-style data dashboard.
Tech
We built a Vue.js based data dashboard that consumed Tableau data and other data sources and presented them in a clear, mobile-friendly style.
Client
The Advance Vermont Group (part of VSAC) seeks to increase educational attainment for Vermonters of all backgrounds.
Goals
AVG needed a new website to further the group’s mission. The site had to represent their diverse initiatives and make it easy to get involved. It also had to integrate with their new data dashboard (see above).
Tech
We built a custom WordPress site that wrapped in the data dashboard as a custom WP plugin. The site included a page builder so non-technical staff could quickly add new pages.
Client
Juvo Mobile, a San Francisco based, venture-backed startup dedicated to expanding worldwide financial access.
Goals
Juvo needed an agile website to communicate their vision, foster business development, and tell the story of their innovations in data science and micro-finance.
Tech
Custom WordPress development for ease of content management, stability, and platform extensibility.
Client
The US Local Solutions group of the Institute for Sustainable Communities provides technical assistance and capacity-building for urban planning and sustainability professionals across the United States.
Goals
USLS had an enormous library of great content, and a popular events series, but their website wasn't accessible or organized for impact. They came to Rules of Go for a total re-build of their web presence.
Tech
Custom WordPress site with dynamic content creation, faceted search, and a purpose-built media library.
Client
The Saint Alban's Messenger is the oldest continuously published newspaper in Vermont.
Goals
The SA Messenger had performance problems—their website wasn't loading quickly enough to serve their audience of highly engaged readers and loyal advertisers. I conducted a performance audit and re-developed their main webpages to load reliably and swiftly.
Tech
Site performance audit, PHP code evaluation, and WordPress development.
Technologies in Use
Vue.js React Node Astro
WordPress MySQL JavaScript PHP
People have nice things to say about working with us
“Ben Bray has been a key long-term partner for Juvo as we've added millions of users. He knows what moves the needle on the web and how to build robust systems that scale with global ambitions. For a remote developer, good communication, self-direction and reliable execution is vital, and Ben exemplifies those qualities. He's that rare developer who combines deep technical expertise with a clear understanding of business needs. When your dev really gets business and design, everything becomes easier! I wish I could have him on all my web projects.”
— Jacquie Amacher, former VP Marketing at Juvo
