Who are we?

What do we do?
We build world-class websites. We design great user experiences. We write clean code. We are both pragmatic and agile. We are always improving.
Here are some of the web properties that we manage and develop for:
- Mozilla.org
- Firefox Affiliates
- Firefox About:Home Snippets
- Mozilla Careers
- Mozilla Reps
- Mozilla Blogs
- Firefox 3.6 start page
- Mozilla Labs
- Mozillians
- Web Analytics (Google Analytics and WebTrends) across Mozilla
- Scrum Bugs
Why do we exist?
Our team exists to develop and enhance Mozilla’s primary promotional and engagement websites. Previously, we were within Mozilla’s central Webdev group, we branched out to be closer to the people who develop the messaging and strategy that eventually turn into web-based content.
The Web Productions team is used for most web projects that are born within one of Engagement’s sub-teams. We also have projects that are owned by our team and more internally focused. This includes platforms like Bedrock and Scrum Bugs and even process-orientated work that can be applied to other development teams.
