Wiley InterScience Selects Digital Pulp To Relaunch Web Site

October 2002

New York, NY - Digital Pulp, a New York-based advertising and Web development firm, has won web design responsibilities for Wiley InterScience, the online content service of the global publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Wiley InterScience provides online access to more than 400 Wiley scientific, technical, and medical (STM), business, and professional journals; over 100 volumes of major reference works; and approximately 300 OnlineBooks to a fast growing customer base of academic and corporate libraries worldwide. Digital Pulp won the assignment following a review against an undisclosed group of web design companies. The redesigned site is scheduled to launch in early 2003.

"We conduct most of our design and development in-house, so we were looking to hire a firm with top design skills that would integrate well with our team. Digital Pulp stood out in the way they immediately understood our business beyond the stated requirements. This enabled them to begin sharing ideas as early as the proposal meeting," said Eleanor Russell, Director of wiley.com. "Wiley's team is extremely web savvy and knows precisely what they want. To be selected after a very thorough review process is quite a compliment," added Ron Fierman, President of Digital Pulp.
