Charleston Digital Launches New Website
The Charleston Digital Corridor is pleased to announce the launch of its new website and accompanying video celebrating the organization’s 20th anniversary. The new site represents the updated programming of the organization and features a modern design aesthetic with a strong focus on accessibility and interactivity. Further, the site shows significant enhancements in user experience, content organization, accessibility, mobile optimization, and performance.
The 20th anniversary video, produced locally by Mike Eberly with Dockview Productions, highlights the remarkable growth of Charleston’s tech scene and the attraction of bringing or starting up a tech business here.
“We think the new video hits the mark well in showcasing the vibrancy and unique appeal of Charleston’s tech community for startups and company expansions and relocations,” said Charleston Digital Director, Ernest Andrade. “While we celebrate the 4,100% growth of Charleston’s high-wage tech industry since 2001, we recognize we are just getting started,” he added.
“The CDC actively serves the evolving needs of the tech business and workforce in Charleston,” noted Todd Lant, Chief Customer Officer of Blackbaud and current Chairman of the Charleston Digital Corridor Foundation Board. “The team involved under Ernest’s direction in crafting the new video and website have done an amazing job with both.”
