In the very early hours of the morning, we launched the new Walmartstores.com website. The new Walmartstores.com website is a consolidation of three major websites (Walmartfacts.com, Walmartstores.com, and Walmartfoundation.org). There's so much that can be said about this project and we will post a project case study on it very soon. However, for now let me say:
1) There was a tremendous amount of partnership between Rockfish and Wal-Mart in launching this significant website. Consolidating three very active websites into a new site is not an easy undertaking. A lot of people from Wal-Mart and Rockfish worked very hard on this project! This was definitely a team effort.
2) So much of what I'm most proud of on this website is what you can't see. It's the engine behind the scenes that is powering this site that really gets me excited!
3) I actually have a small sense of sadness that the original Walmartfacts.com is going away. That site is an important milestone in our company's short history. It was the first significant website we launched for Wal-Mart almost two years ago, and one of the first websites we launched as a company. However, knowing that it has rolled up into the new Walmartstores.com site is a much stronger sense of accomplishment and pride in how far our company has come in the past two years!
