1. Focus on Recruiting

As the scope of our projects ramped up, we found that we needed to hire quite a few developers and designers and the old site didn't cut it. The old site buried job listing deep in the About section. In addition, we decided to launch an intern program so the entire process needed to be simplified.
The update moved jobs front and center on the landing page and listed internships in multiple places - as a job post as well as in the header. To keep listings up to date, we implemented a simple content management system that Tyemill admins could use to update posts without having to push code.

2. Update The Tech

The old site was not mobile friendly or responsive. It was also a combination of Ruby On Rails and html, making the whole thing very tough to work on. We rebuilt the site in Angular and setup a front end framework that gave us mobile compatabilty and responsive pages.

3. Show our Personality

The goal of the original site was to be a bit mysterious. As Tyemill the company evolved, the original site didn't capture the spirit of the company anymore. We opened an amazing office and started particpating in more community events, so we needed a site that not only highlighted our personality as an organization but gave prospective candidates a view into company culture and benefits. This lead to...

4. Style Updates

Vibrant colors, smooth angles, clean fonts, and shortened copywriting replaced the heavy green, long text, and hard edged icons of the original designs. This included updates to our product icons as well as employee perks, all custom draw by myself.
