Consumer Reports Espanol

Consumers Union (CU) is an expert, independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves.

CU publishes Consumer Reports, one of the top-ten-circulation magazines in the USA, and ConsumerReports.org, which has the most subscribers of any Web site of its kind, in addition to two newsletters, Consumer Reports on Health and Consumer Reports Money Adviser. They have combined subscriptions of more than 8 million.

Spanish-language interest was growing rapidly and it was decided to expand the few Spanish pages from the English website into an fully-fledged web presence. The result is a multi-template website, with rich-functionality and several custom-built features. We worked together with Upshot to produce and maintain this website.

The following tools were utilised in the creation of this website:

• Adobe Photoshop
• Joomla! Content Management System
