Grupo Tierra
Grupo Tierra is a research network focused on territories, ruralities, interculturality, environment, and food in Ecuador. It works closely with another of our clients, the IIE-UCE (Institute of Economic Research of the Central University). They needed to renovate their website to more efficiently communicate events, conferences, publications, and other organizational outcomes.

Challenges
Challenge 1: We faced a significant challenge with a tight deadline to create the new website, as the previous Grupo Tierra site was down.
Solution 1: To address this challenge, we leveraged the Relume Library, which provided a vast array of pre-designed components. This allowed us to accelerate the development process and meet the tight deadline effectively.
