Feel at Home on PowerToFly: An Inside Look at Our New Homepage
Brought to You by the PTF Dev Team
It took us three full months of hard work to create a new homepage that truly reflects who we are now as a company. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate with our community and thank everyone who worked to bring the new homepage to life.
<p>We hope you'll enjoy this inside look at how our fully-distributed remote team works together across multiple countries and timezones!</p><h3>Tanja - Ukraine</h3><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>Tanja spearheaded the homepage redesign after PTF cofounder Katharine Zaleski found herself in despair at the loss of our designer... who was going to bring her vision for a new homepage to fruition now? None other than Product Manager & Frontend Lead Developer Tatjana Kleshnina, a.k.a Tanja, a.k.a Jane of All Trades.<br/></p><p>"Calm down, KZ. I'll just toss together some wireframes and we can work on it together." Toss together some wireframes she did, and three months later, here we are. </p><p>She actively managed the team working on the homepage each day to keep the work on pace and suggest changes. </p><h3>Tamila - Russia</h3><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
