GUESS WHAT?! We just launched an awesome new site for television’s most-watched history series, American Experience. With over 200 documentaries under their belt, American Experience needed a way to organize their huge amounts of content and bring their full length films to an online audience. Check out their fancy new homepage!

Sound vaguely familiar, you say? We helped American Experience bring these films online last year with a partial site refresh. This year we noticed that our partial refresh was uncovering some unmet needs and some content holes, so we completely redesigned and re-architected the site to meet those needs and bring even more American Experience content online.

In addition to the full length films, we added a blog, special features for films, timelines, photo galleries, maps, a better broadcast schedule, and a place to share your own American experience. Hooray!

And everything is powered by a super slick CMS. We completely revamped their old CMS to be a whole lot more flexible. Now American Experience can fully control almost all aspects of their site, all by themselves.

Visually, we kept the look & feel alive from last year and gave it some major upgrades to accommodate all of this new awesome content. These upgrades will help the site live on in our minds and hearts, like Abraham Lincoln.

We are super proud of the steps we’ve taken over the last year with American Experience to get their site to where it is today. If you have a soft spot for things like Presidents, War, Pop Culture, Civil Rights, and The American West – well then, this site is for you.
