What we do

Built for complexity

Most of our work involves organizations with large amounts of content, multiple stakeholders, and systems that need to stay connected.

That includes higher education and government, but also other organizations with similar needs. In each case, the challenge is less about design alone and more about how content is structured, managed, and integrated across systems.

We help bring clarity to that complexity.

FEATURED CASE STUDY

Othering & Belonging Institute

The Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley addresses issues around equality for all people, the interconnectedness of us all, and our relationship with our environment. They're a central hub that brings together researchers, community organizers, policymakers and other stakeholders, into research and analysis, all in support of a more-equitable society. We partnered with OBI to deliver a comprehensive digital transformation, rebuilding their website on Drupal to support accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and long-term scalability. The project included a complete redesign of the site’s structure and user experience, with an emphasis on clean, flexible layouts that elevate OBI’s mission-driven content.

UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society

UC Berkeley’s College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS) partnered with Black Antelope to transform its digital presence in anticipation of its transition from a division to a full-fledged college. The project involved migrating from a proprietary platform to the latest version of Drupal, ensuring a scalable and flexible foundation. Accessibility was a key focus, with the site designed to meet ADA WCAG 2.1 AA standards, incorporating keyboard navigation and leveraging Siteimprove for ongoing compliance. The redesign emphasized a mobile-first approach, delivering a user-friendly experience across devices, and played a crucial role in supporting CDSS’s fundraising efforts and establishing a strong online identity.

SPCAI CASE STUDY
They’ve been great. They’re super responsive and are the type of people that get stuff done. The team is able to get things done in a timely fashion, even when we change plans and create delays. Communicating clearly, they were very professional and flexible as well.

Black Antelope did a phenomenal job of developing our website, including the CMS and design. They were able to work with anything we threw at them, and the finished product came out perfectly. They have excellent design judgment and provide better alternatives to our suggestions for placement and functionality.

Othering & Belonging Institute @ UC Berkeley
They’re responsive to our needs and requests and are so knowledgeable. They’re really easy to work with, creative, technically savvy, and willing to fill gaps in our staffing. All of that is really helpful and we don’t know what we would do without them.
Stephanie Scott
SPCA International
They’d done some websites on our campus already, and I loved their work. The department Black Antelope had previously worked with highly recommended them.

They have an incredibly high level of communication and take a personalized approach with your project. The platform they built for us exceeded my expectations. Our startup could not launch without the completion of this project as our business is dependent upon the function of this platform. We are now fully operational and are no longer pre-revenue in just a short period thanks to the successful completion of the project.

I would say, first and foremost, their ability to communicate and support the client is superb. The delivery itself is also excellent, and we’re very happy and proud of the website.
Bridgette Lehrer
Berkeley International Study Program (BISP) @ UC Berkeley
A lot of the developers I’ve worked with in the past haven’t put in a lot of effort for SEO, but Black Antelope really built that into the site. Within a few weeks, we were on Google for the search terms that we were looking for. It was much faster than I anticipated.
