Unrelated

Unrelated, a professional software company, embarked on a project to revamp an antiquated website for Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. The commission sought to upgrade their 12-year-old website, which is critical for their mission of facilitating the sustainable use of Atlantic coast fishery resources. Unrelated worked closely with important staff members from the commission. Together, they crafted a vision for a new, diverse, and accessible website to accommodate a varied audience, ranging from scientists to lawmakers. This entailed the creation of a fresh website integrated with a fully searchable publication database.

To accomplish this mission, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission invested upwards of $100,000. The Unrelated team, which varied from two to five members, collaborated with the commission from January 2023 and the partnership is still ongoing. Notably, Unrelated, was selected for the project via an RFP due to their competitive pricing and company values that closely reflected those of the commission. The track record of the websites they previously developed and the diversity of skills within their team were key factors in the selection process.

In addition to creating the new website, Unrelated provided several other invaluable services. These included the migration of existing content to the updated platform, the provision of relevant training, and they continue to offer ongoing support. The team also ensured the website was visually appealing and accessible, and had an updated look and feel to meet the diverse needs of the various stakeholders. Their efforts have, therefore, positioned the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to better promote sustainable fishing practices and support coastal communities' economic opportunities.
