myShakespeare works to make Shakespeare's plays accessible and fun for high school students, and to provide support for classroom teachers. They offer free, full-text interactive editions of some of Shakespeare's most commonly-taught plays. In 2014 we worked with them to design and build a responsive, interactive Drupal website that replaces traditional footnotes with multimedia resources for contemporary students. Explore the site to see the interactive elements at work. Over more than a decade since we've partnered with them to expand the site, add plays and functionality, integrate with third-party platforms (including Clever and Google Classrooms), and grow their reach enormously to one of the leading online Shakespeare resources for students. To provide insight into user behavior while still protecting student privacy, we helped them implement Matomo. To support their complex application and increasing traffic, we've developed a robust multi-server infrastructure using Kubernetes on Digital Ocean to keep their servers up when students and teachers need them most. In 2024, we've worked with them to redesign their homepage, and we're continuing to make aesthetic and functional improvements to the site.
