Sprout Spotlight
The Explore Alexandria redesign was a project close to my heart. As someone who wasn’t born and raised in the area, I’ve fallen in love with what it has to offer over the past 10 years. Designing the site with this perspective allowed me to think in terms of locals and visitors and highlight exactly what it is that makes Alexandria so special. From the abundant outdoor activities, to the variety of food & drink, to the historic downtown — it truly is a place that has something to offer everyone. The new site showcases not only the beauty of the area, but allows visitors to browse lodging options easily and filter through the variety of attractions. -Beth Leipholtz, Web Designer
