Good food done digitally.

The Good Food Institute

A true digital transformation with WordPress Gutenberg

A Global Food Presence

The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a global non-profit organization working to develop plant and cell-based meat, dairy, and egg products for a more sustainable and secure food system that is better for the planet, people, and animals. With a 5 year anniversary in February 2021, GFI partnered with WDG for a full digital transformation. The final transformation highlights the clear and clean designs, depth and diversity of its members, and the adaptable identity that has been developed. The digital presence is now powered by WordPress Gutenberg with a design system that provides GFI the flexibility they need as they continue to grow exponentially.

Challenge

Revamp basic site structure and collaborate for rebranding

Solution

Through a detailed strategic discovery and a revitalized content strategy, a new site was launched to be a digital hub for sharing solutions, knowledge, and resources freely. There are more resources to help inform the community and initiate new partnerships.

Results

The new WordPress Gutenberg powered website launched celebrating 5 years of hard work and a look to the future with a user friendly and visually appealing site for many years to come.

User Experience

Content Strategy & UX Workshops to deliver a revitalized digital strategy

The new Good Food Institute website now shares the mission, vision, purpose, and values through clean design, easy navigation, and well organized content.  With our digital strategy, the new website can now showcase GFI’s resources and allow the brand to continue to grow and evolve. Visitors can clearly find what they need on the website -i.e. policy and research information, Science information behind reimagining meat production, and the new blog. 

With our C-level vision workshops and digital strategy the new Good Food Institute website now visually represents the institute, its global presence, and its impact.

The process

Discovery, Strategy, IA, UX and Gutenberg WordPress implementation

Working with the Good Food Institute leadership team, we recommended and designed a digital experience that showcased a deep-hued, diverse color palette that pays homage to nature. We shared a strategic brief on content and user experience that focused on technology and visual appeal. The design is focused and sharp to help remove distractions and be universally accessible and understood, whether on mobile or desktop.

To extend the life of the website, we designed and developed a flexible design system that considered all current and future design elements allowing GFI’s marketing team to launch landing pages, custom sections, and conversion based mini-sites quickly.
