Plan International
An international global charity
MARKETING
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that promotes children’s rights
and gender equality for girls. They strive for a just world, together with children, young people, supporters and partners.
They were looking to launch a new website on the Altis DXP platform (a Digital Experience Platform on WordPress)
and approached us to build their CMS solution on top.

A collaboration between Human Made and Angry Creative
With a heavily customized Drupal platform that could no longer be updated, spread over several versions, Plan International was in dire need of a new CMS solution. The choice landed on WordPress and the Altis DXP platform. Angry Creative was commissioned to implement the new CMS solution together with several of our Qala components.
Future-proofing editorial workflow
With Plan International’s many local editors around the world, it was important to create an efficient workflow with different levels of authorization and editorial control. This was to reduce the need for an extra digital team.
Better editorial control also meant creating a workflow that was easy to manage for local users. It was created using Gutenberg blocks and the Altis platform, among others. By using WordPress standards, we also created a future-proof editorial solution.
Local diversity with robust language settings for a global charity
With more than 50 local sites and up to 200 local editors, there were high demands on language management. Especially as the previous solution was spread across multiple platforms and hosting solutions.
As one of the world’s largest charities, it is important that the website is consistent with its values and that information is easily accessible to its target audience and partners. Features such as Multisite, language selection, search functions and filtering have been a big part of the work we’ve done at Plan International.
UX and design to follow Plan International’s vision
We also worked closely with Human Made to consult on creating a user experience and design to fit the vision, values and needs of the Plan International website.
The result of this collaboration is a future-proof multi-site network of local websites with streamlined editorial workflows and effective language management to empower global charitable work.
Allowing people the freedom to manage their sites, and as a consequence become more involved in developing content for the sites, is important to us, as is our quality control function alongside it.
