Strategizing and designing for action.
Our design team worked with the World Movement for Democracy stakeholders to establish a striking new aesthetic with reinvigorated branding to promote user action. Our senior designers began by presenting three different mood boards to World Movement for Democracy, with the chosen design best representing the re-energized aesthetic.
Gradients, vibrancy, and a bright blue-green color scheme were balanced with dark tones to create a clean, focused design. We incorporated custom hover states, accordion expansion, and other effects in key locations to highlight important information and drive users deeper into the site.

At Your Fingertips
With global initiatives, events, news updates, as well as an active Twitter feed to connect users on a global scale, it is vital that the site can perform even in areas of low data connectivity. WDG worked hard to provide a mobile responsive site for the World Movement for Democracy.
Developing global reach through flexible content.
WDG incorporated global taxonomies and created 8 templates with over 20 different layouts. In deploying the site, the private backend data was used to fuel the filtering and provide data about the individuals, networks, global participants, and activists. The body of content was used to fuel the News and Alerts, and the private end data was pulled into the flex modules to be displayed on pages
Intuitive information architecture streamlines the overall site structure with improved taxonomies.
