Rivers of Steel

Preservation, education, recreation—yeah, all that

We helped Rivers of Steel transform the face of their organization with a website packed with audio, video, and photographic resources.

Hello, again

LK got to know and love Rivers of Steel while collaborating with the organization on Tour Anytime. Ever since, we hoped we would get the chance to redevelop the organization’s primary website. After learning the extent of River of Steel’s work while working on Tour Anytime, we knew their old site wasn’t good enough. The outdated look, poor information architecture, and lack of up-to-date and functional resources made it difficult to even understand the purpose of the organization.

What was old is new

The 1930s-era steelworkers could have never imagined their stories and images travelling across time and space. However, this history is now preserved and broadcast to an extensive audience via the site’s new multimedia pages. 

The efforts of Rivers of Steel are now clearer, thanks to a revised information design, and the look and feel now worthy of an organization of such significance.

And it’s not done yet…

In the coming months, we’ll be adding a new online shop as well as a map of southwest Pennsylvania steel mills, complete with associated information and images.
