Custom Gutenberg blocks powering BW’s research publishing workflows. Built on the Amplify platform, a small set of flexible components was all it took to create a custom, future-focused digital experience.

BW Research Partnership (BW) is a nationally recognized research and consulting firm specializing in workforce development, economic impact analysis, and policy research. Their studies help governments, nonprofits, and industry leaders make informed decisions about the future of work, energy transition, and economic growth.

As their research portfolio expanded, BW needed a modern digital platform that could better showcase reports, communicate insights to diverse audiences, and support their growing library of data-driven publications.

Our team partnered with BW Research to design and build a new website that presents complex research in a clear, accessible format while giving staff an easy way to publish new studies and insights.


Organizations like BW Research publish a wide range of content—from full research reports to shorter insights and commentary. Amplify is designed to support this type of publishing ecosystem by providing flexible content models and modular page components.

For BW, this meant creating a structure that could support multiple types of research outputs while maintaining a consistent and easy-to-navigate experience for visitors.

Research reports are the core of BW’s work. Using Amplify’s structured content system, we built a flexible research library that allows reports to be categorized and surfaced across the site.

Each report includes standardized fields for summaries, authors, topics, and related research, allowing visitors to quickly understand the scope and relevance of each publication. This structure also makes it easier for the BW team to publish new reports and keep their research archive organized as it grows.

While reports remain central to BW’s work, the new site also creates space for more timely updates and commentary.

We worked with BW to introduce short-form content that allows the team to share quick insights, highlight ongoing research, and comment on emerging trends in workforce and economic development. These shorter pieces help keep the site active and give BW a way to communicate ideas that don’t require a full report publication.

The BW Research website is built on Amplify’s modular block system, allowing their team to easily create new pages and update content without developer support.

Custom layouts support research summaries, featured insights, and topic-driven landing pages, making it easy for BW to highlight their latest work and guide visitors to relevant research.

As BW Research continues to expand its portfolio of studies and insights, the new platform provides a scalable foundation for publishing and organizing their work.

Powered by Amplify, the site enables BW to share their research more effectively while giving their team the flexibility to evolve their digital presence over time.
