Case Study: Redesigning WRI.org and its Network Sites

Speakers: 

World Resources Institute “WRI is a global research organization that works closely with leaders to turn big ideas into action to sustain a healthy environment—the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being.”

WRI needed a new site that was beautiful and displayed its migrated legacy content in an exciting and consumable manner. Additionally, they wanted to repurpose the main site to service another nine sites globally, each with its own content owners and languages with the need to spin up additional sites for more independent centers in the future.

This story documents the journey from conception to single deployment then forking with dual track development to deploy across the WRI and EMBARQ Networks.

Some topics we will touch on include:

  • How did we control costs?
  • How did we manage working with multiple stake holders across many independent centers?
  • How did the project change to fit client needs throughout the project?
