The book that started it all

Web Redesign
Workflow
That Works Turns 20.

This book started from a PDF that expanded with each client and project. When it was 68 pages, people from all over the world emailed Kelly to ask if it was OK to translate it into Spanish. And Italian. And Japanese. She realized it needed to become a book. 16 languages and 24 countries later, this book is still used as university curricula around the globe.

Then and now...

20 years ago, the dot com era and the twin towers were both about to crash simultaneously. Serendipitously, our book along with gotomedia emerged out of the ashes. The company was built upon fundamental principles which include working in a supportive, creating a culture of autonomy, creativity and quality outcomes. About giving talented people room to thrive and grow. To maintain independence and to "exceed expectations and take vacations" (i.e., work hard, play hard.)

Twenty years later, we're still shaping the industry one digital product (or website) at a time. We continue to merge research into the design process, adamantly so. Our team has new faces, but many of the OG (original crew) are still in the fold. Our mission is to balance work and life, with families and health as a huge priority. We could not have a better team — a family of sorts — to understand what drives us is to work collaboratively, have shared values and to continue to create a supportive, creative environment for our company (and team) to make a difference in this crazy world.

We continue to seek ways of promoting women and minority-owned small businesses and inclusive environments and pay it forward as we are able.

So many thanks ...

Our thanks to so many who have supported gotomedia and gotoresearch all these years. We cannot list them all, but they start with the passionate UXers and amazing clients and companies who continue to believe in the principles behind human centered design. Our clients have become friends, companies come and go, but the relationships continue.

Thank you gotomedians past and present, and the advisors, clients and contractors who have become part of our extended family! We have peaks and valleys and the last few years have taught us resilience, and to focus on shared values which include hard work, mutual respect and support.

What's next?

We continue to keep our team streamlined and focused on Enterprise UX, Healthcare with focus on accessible, universal and inclusive design practices. We also continue to create streamlined ways of handling UX research including new tools and outcomes.
