EE in the Wild: Montana CDC

Six Pony Hitch launched a great responsive ExpressionEngine site for Montana CDC. We had a chance to catch up with Michael Zens, Interactive Director for Six Pony Hitch, to learn more about what went in to this site.

What process did you go through when rebranding and redeveloping the Montana CDC site?

Recently we completed a full rebranding of the Montana CDC website to better reflect the changing nature of the organization. We focused on highlighting inspiring client stories to tell the story of their services and used clean design, icons, and infographics to communicate the specifics of this non-profit lending organization. We also optimized the site for mobile devices using responsive design so that users on any platform will have a great experience with the site.

What features of ExpressionEngine made you feel this was the right tool for the job?

We love EE and feel it is a great fit for most projects. The customized content channels allow us to collect data in a user friendly way but still create pixel perfect front-end templates. And the built-in features and add-ons available for EE make any project easier.

Which add-ons were a must on this project?

Some of the add-ons we used were: Stash, Switchee, Ress, Freeform Pro, User, Freebie.

I enjoy the clean design, focused on photography and story telling. Thanks to Michael for giving us some insight on the site.
