Early on in my career, I didn’t feel like I was pursuing a higher purpose. That’s how Photics got started. The idea was to create something more significant.

Well, if Whitehouse.gov is a bellwether, nothing too radical so far. The Trump administration was given the keys to the official website of the Whitehouse. While there was a significant change in content, it’s still running on the same old content management system (CMS) – Drupal 7.
