PublicNTP
PublicNTP is a public charity created to improve global IT stability by deploying unrestricted, unfiltered, and highly-accurate time sources around the world. In first-world countries, it is easy to take synchronized time for granted. One of the first hurdles of global business and international infrastructure is maintaining synchronized time with clients spread over multiple countries, continents, and time zones. Lack of properly-synchronized time impacts systems the world relies on -- computer security, cell phone networks, and cloud computing just to name a few. PublicNTP's mission is to provide no-cost, unrestricted access to time data with atomic-clock grade accuracy globally, focusing most heavily on under-served portions of the world.
I was contracted by PublicNTP to provide them with a full range of design services. Everything from branding, to information architecture, to visual design. It's been very rewarding to be involved in every phase of this product. Terry Ott, the founder of PublicNTP, has been absolutely incredible to work with. From the first meeting we've been working hard to create a cohesive brand identity that is "clean, not boring."
PublicNTP's website makes time an interactive experience. Because the nonprofit works in such a technical field, it was important to make the website relevant, yet approachable. The experience invites exploration and rewards the user with a sense of connectedness.
