The Challenge
The challenge facing the Mixed Migration Center (MMC) was a complex blend of aesthetic and functional limitations within its existing website. Tasked with a comprehensive redesign, the initial platform struggled with an outdated design that impeded visual appeal and hindered user engagement.

Simultaneously, recognizing the need for technical improvements, we implemented robust security measures and optimized the site for diverse technological environments.
The redesigned MMC website isn’t just a cosmetic facelift; it’s a strategic initiative to address the evolving needs of MMC’s global audience, including refugee communities. Navigation was streamlined to ensure an intuitive user journey, fostering accessibility for individuals with varying digital literacy levels. The technical enhancements focused on creating a stable and secure online environment, vital for MMC’s mission.
A key component of our solution was the establishment of a proactive maintenance plan, ensuring the sustained effectiveness of the redesigned website. This initiative involves continuous monitoring, updates, and ongoing support to address any post-launch issues. The proactive approach aligns seamlessly with MMC’s mission to provide valuable insights and support in the dynamic landscape of mixed migration.
