Happy Medium was ready to make IFA’s new website a place that housed more than just information. We wanted to make the website a place where any user could be successful.

The Art of Education was founded on a simple idea—that art teachers deserve professional development that is tailored and relevant to them. Makes sense, no? The company offers everything—classes, seminars, blogs, videos, trainings, you name it—and needed a website that was flexible and as well-organized as the paint supplies cupboard in an art classroom. Art of Education, meet the art of UX.

The result of Happy Medium’s first-ever company hackathon, Eat, Drink, Swipe is a custom site we built to support local bars and restaurants through the COVID-19 pandemic. This tool makes it easy for users to find local businesses to support and illustrates Happy Medium’s commitment to the Des Moines community.

They needed to upcycle their content into a new look.

If there’s one thing that holds true for a brand, it’s that staying true to your values should be at your foundation.
