The Season 2 MUSE Creative Awards were announced by IAA this week and two Clarity projects for Cook County are MUSE Award ‘Silver Winners!’ This includes our work on behalf of the Board of Review (BOR) and Department of Emergency Management and Regional Security (EMRS).

Our Winning Projects

Clarity was tasked with refreshing the design of and re-platforming the BOR website.  We implemented a refreshed look and feel for the homepage, basic pages, and other site features. In addition, Clarity migrated all web pages, images, documents, and other digital media to the new Drupal 9 CMS.  The final build included an updated modern look, an updated and visually improved alert process, improved web accessibility, and a modular page-building approach using Acquia Site Studio, which was used to build multiple interactive components throughout the site.
