Featured in Crafted with Code (the 26th Webby Awards)
Read the story behind the build of Safe Cities 2021
With robust and mature technologies and platforms available, now is the best time to create smart and creative web experiences with seamless device-agnostic user experience as the primary goal.
— Cheryl Fuerte (as Creative producer & digital lead, Economist Impact)
Safe Cities 2021, my project with Economist Impact is again a nominee at the 26th Webby Awards, this time under Websites & Mobile Sites: Best Practices category. Additionally it is also an honoree for Best Homepage. Although it didn’t win the top Webby Award (in 2020, Safe Cities 2019 won People’s Voice under Best User Interface), it has the distinction of being featured in the Crafted with Code feature of the site.
“The site has been historically built on a WordPress CMS platform with custom HTML5 landing pages. “This combo allows us to create custom interactive features and take advantage of WordPress’ mature CMS functionalities so we can easily add new content on the go,” explains Fuerte.
