Twenty-odd building blocks and a faster page

The problem

The site needed a more modern look and message, and the regional content managers are not a technical team. Any redesign had to be something they could reuse alone.

What I did

• Proposed the visual changes from a user experience and interface point of view, made front-end mockups, presented them and adjusted until they were approved in full.
• Turned the approved designs into reusable bespoke blocks, so regional teams build pages without writing code.
• Set up a QA process for publication, so news can be prepared in advance.
• Now moving the site from Advanced Custom Fields to native Gutenberg, for more flexibility.

The result

The global site is refreshed. A page that took about two weeks now takes about one, and every region has started using some of the blocks. Regional alignment is still in progress, and I will say so before you ask.
