In order to demonstrate the broad reach of their work on a global scale, the map provides clear information points which drive users further into the site, thereby increasing page views and reducing bounce rate.

To create the unique map structure and style, we used fact cards that leveraged the taxonomy for increased value-add and functionality. The intuitive map structure was created with the JavaScript mapping library, AM Charts, which allowed the development team to create customized controls and match the site aesthetic.

WDG’s strategy team partnered with GMMB on the information architecture phase of the redesign to help solidify various pages within the build. In the reorganized site structure, the navigation was divided into Projects, Regions, and Impact Stories to better relate content across the site.

By correlating these separate verticals, the Chemonics narrative became clear for targeted users. Multiple navigation paths ensured that the user journey remained focused on understanding the breadth of Chemonics’ global impact.

At Your Fingertips

Facilitating flawless performance of the site for those who are mobile-dependent in countries with limited technology and data connection points — ensuring the continuance of a world class user experience.

Building sustainability through flexible content.

By moving the site to WordPress, we were able to streamline and improve the UX. The previously painful administrative experience became far more user friendly with modular pieces built as flexible layouts. Templates were then built to ensure consistency and brand adhesion across the site. We also incorporated the previously separate blog by coalescing the microsite and main site together, with custom blog templates used for an easier build.
