Challenge
The original ECW website, built on WordPress, was developed during the early stages of the Fund's inception and was no longer able to meet the needs of its stakeholders and expanding audience.
To enhance the functionality and usability of ECW's website and align it with other United Nations entities, Vardot undertook a comprehensive project to upgrade the platform. Vardot's focus was on revamping the UI/UX of the site, with the goal of creating a user-centered design.

Solution
Vardot began the project by conducting over 7 focus group sessions with stakeholders, program directors, and site users to gather feedback on the current site issues, their vision, and goals for the new site.
Vardot then executed a content-first redesign of the UI/UX of the site in stages, focusing on presenting the user with a clean and intuitive interface. Vardot worked with ECW to establish the best mechanism for displaying data and information to its target audience and developed a framework for content migration and cleanup, upgrading existing content with improved metadata.
