Gridwork wouldn’t exist without In These Times. To our first client and former employer, we owe a debt of gratitude. The large, intelligent audience—by progressive news standards—has provided a fertile testing ground for community development, business planning and information driven design.

Workflow

Content flows in from editors and out to readers on a daily basis. To keep up with this pace, In These Times needs a system that can help avoid unnecessary errors and forgive minor input variances. By building the site on a stable, user-oriented software platform, we were able to expose the raw content to editors and prevent damage to the codebase.

User experience

The explosion in available web content over the past few years—coupled with the modernization of browsing software—has upped the ante for success in the news business. To build trust with In These Times readers and still draw revenue from its assets, we’ve developed a site that integrates quality journalism with sparse, effective marketing.
