While we do tend to do a lot of rich media work, this project let us stretch our legs with the awesome Django web framework to build a great site and the custom content management system to administer it. Our friends over at The Barbarian Group handled the design and Flash portions of this project while we focused on the data and bringing their concepts to life.

We spent a lot of our time working on the parts you can see (unless you work for WGBH!). The backend is a stylish and easy to use customization of Django’s Admin app that let the client get started making content only a few weeks into the project. We even got to write some custom importer scripts that took all of their old content and migrated it over seamlessly (which was greatly appreciated by the client!).
