The Here We Are Podcast

A Podcast Site Where You Can Laugh and Learn

The Here We Are is a science podcast, hosted by Shane Mauss (see the Shane Mauss section.) Each week, Shane interviews a different scientist on a particular topic. The need to revamp the website initially became clear when it moved from Drupal to Squarespace.

The previous aesthetic was minimalist and more bare-bones. In the revamp, it was top of mind that the new website keep the same simplistic quality, but with a more pronounced focus on a clean aesthetic, allowing the intrinsic qualities of the show to shine through: curious, eclectic, and inquisitive. This was everything from choosing a simple font and color theme pulled directly from the logo, to choosing a refined filter for each guest photo.

Another core goal, which I’m proud to say was accomplished, was to set up the site in a way that would be manageable for Shane and his team to maintain without my assistance. To ensure this, I created a step-by-step guide for the team that described some of the more technical maintenance processes.
