State of Idaho • Tax Commission

objective

Adobe stopped supporting ColdFusion in early 2019. The existing website for the Tax Commission was written in ColdFusion. So, we needed to convert to another platform and the State of Idaho chose WordPress (see webmaster resources).

results

The redesign of this 600 webpage website is currently undergoing multiple review processes, including content verification, functionality testing, mobile testing, and subject matter expert testing. The new website should go live in the summer of 2021.

However, I did incorporate the following design upgrades:
