Our team has recently been working on building a microsite in-house for one of our departments. We utilize a content management system, and the majority of the time, we can accomplish tasks on our own. We ran into a roadblock when we needed to modify some code to personalize the microsite. While we have some knowledge of how to do this, it became quite the undertaking, and we knew it would take us significant time to accomplish what we needed to. We reached out to Tripepi Smith, who we have partnered with previously on another project, to see if they had a web developer on staff who could help us get to the finish line. They quickly jumped on this project for us, and in no time, had all of the changes made exactly how we needed them. This helped us complete the project significantly faster than if we were left on our own. I greatly appreciate their partnership and their willingness to serve as a support system for marketing and communication needs.
