TalentAlly Website Redesign
Argzon Haziraj
Introduction
TalentAlly is the operator of the Professional Diversity Network (PDN) and a holding company for the International Association of Women (IAW) and RemoteMore USA. Founded in 2008 and publicly traded since 2013 (NASDAQ: IPDN), TalentAlly provides online professional networking communities with career resources tailored to diverse cultural groups.
The goal of this project was to redesign the TalentAlly website, which was previously the Professional Diversity Network (PDN). The existing website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked modern design elements such as animations and an intuitive user experience.
