Among other things, I was charged with rebranding the company, building a weather reporting system, designing a packages management tool and display (pictured above), and bringing the overall AllTrips network into a more content focused and user-friendly experience.</p>

<h2 id="thesites">The Sites</h2>

<p><a href="http://www.jacksonholenet.com">Jacksonholenet</a> is just an example of one of the forty-plus websites I managed while with AllTrips.</p>

<ul>
<li>Design is mobile friendly</li>
<li>Fun, bold accessible color scheme</li>
<li>Easy to navigate</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="personas">Personas</h2>

<p><img src="http://abigwonderful.cloud/content/images/2016/06/persona.jpg" alt="AllTrips"></p>

<p>We had the chance to dive into user personas and conduct user research both with the vendors and the visitors to the site. It was fun to learn about the diverse folks who depend on the AllTrips network and create their character representations.</p>

<h2 id="infographics">Infographics</h2>

<p><img src="http://abigwonderful.cloud/content/images/2016/06/Screen-Shot-2016-04-18-at-7-17-29-PM.png" alt="AllTrips"></p>

<p>Another result of our user research was a series of infographics that were a great tangible way to unite the AllTrips team around the company goals and embrace all the challenges we were trying to solve.</p>

<p>Jenny specializes in removing inflammation from the body through clean eating, movement &amp; elegant thinking. She came to me with a bit of a problem after taking the bull by the horns and building several sites for her budding business. She needed a way to tie the brand together and consolidate the web properties she had created. After a brief conversation, we were able to come up with a design that solved the problem and fit her budget.</p>
