THE CHALLENGE

Accion’s global mission was outpacing the flexibility of its existing website. Their team needed a digital platform that could scale with new initiatives, streamline publishing workflows, and strengthen their ability to share impact stories across audiences. The legacy system required developer intervention for even small updates, making it cumbersome to maintain momentum and evolve alongside the organization’s growth.

THE SOLUTION

WDG rebuilt the web experience from the ground up using a custom, component-based WordPress framework hosted on Pantheon. The new site was designed for flexibility and scalability, and self-sufficiency, giving Accion’s internal team the freedom to create, reorganize, and launch new content without technical obstacles. By grounding the design in our in-house modular framework and content governance strategy, Accion.org is now optimized for performance, accessibility, and long-term adaptability.

THE RESULTS

The redesigned site gives Accion complete control over its content and storytelling. Publishing time has been dramatically reduced, SEO and content performance have improved, and the site’s structure now supports ongoing growth without rework. The result is a modern, intuitive platform that reflects Accion’s mission while equipping their team with the tools to keep evolving.

Jake Reid, Associate Director of Strategy, WDG

From the start, we knew Accion’s website needed to keep pace with their mission. Our goal was to provide them something flexible, scalable, and empowering, a digital framework that would evolve right alongside them.
