Ending the week with another internal project launch! 🙌
As we started 2026, we knew we had to practice what we preach. Overhauling all of our own websites was on the docket to kick off the year. These projects always end up on the back burner to make sure our clients come first, but we put in some overtime across the board to get them done.
As you may or may not know, Justin Basch, the owner of Basch Solutions, also hosts the Baschamania podcast. As it continues to grow and evolve, it needed a full head-to-toe revamp of its website to house its 400+ episode library with tons of bells and whistles.
Not the easiest website to build out when it's not a traditional "business website," but it's an important brand that needs a central hub. And under the new makeup, it'll now start to evolve with more features and expanded coverage.
