This project was quite possibly my biggest challenge as a web developer to date, meaning it was all the more rewarding to see it ushered successfully out to the world.
The original KGI site was highly customized, with lots of handwritten code, written by an employee who’d left the agency before I started. It was built on top of the ContentDM platform provided by OCLC. When OCLC decided to transition their platform over from PHP to a ReactJS-based model, all of the customizations had to be adapted into that framework, or cease functioning. The KGI site was long overdue for a visual overhaul as well, and here is the result!
