Client feature section, woot woot! WebDevStudios built a hiring site for Uber. This is a nice marketing example of WordPress, for a huge brand. 10up Client and overall neat organization StoryCorp got featured on Google’s homepage for their Thanksgiving Listen campaign. I can’t imagine the traffic bump… I did an interview with StoryCorp back when they built a…
