Civil War Trails Website: PA Office of Tourism

The Pennsylvania Office of Tourism wanted to create a website allowing visitors to follow the Civil War trails of history. They wanted rich features and an outstanding user experience with a lot of interactivity. They had an existing site design and branding and contracted with VIG for programming and website development.
