As a nonprofit on a shoestring budget, Outsourcify met our needs and more. They were very responsive throughout the website design process and the final product was nearly exactly what we envisioned. I would recommend them to anyone.

The Global Justice Center, a distinguished NGO headquartered in New York, is unwaveringly committed to advancing human rights and justice globally. Through dedicated efforts to foster legal and policy solutions, the organization tirelessly addresses critical issues, empowering individuals and communities worldwide with a specific focus on gender equality and the protection of human rights.
At Outsourcify, we are pleased to collaborate with NGOs, and in this instance, the project encompassed two key facets. Firstly, there was a need to revamp their outdated website, which failed to reflect their growth and activism adequately and struggled to showcase their numerous articles and publications effectively. The second facet involved a technological transition from the Joomla CMS to WordPress. The team sought this shift to streamline content publishing, citing efficiency and a preference for the WordPress interface. This migration was a multifaceted undertaking, involving the restructuring of publication classifications (resources, white papers, fact sheets, legal tools, UN submissions, news, media coverage, events, job offers) and the comprehensive transformation of content, including images and associated documents.

The Challenge
Outsourcify undertook a transformative project to redesign and redevelop The Global Justice Center’s digital presence, transitioning from Joomla to a custom WordPress website. The key challenge lies in the extensive content migration from the outdated Joomla platform to the new WordPress environment. Leveraging their expertise, the Outsourcify team meticulously navigated this intricate process, ensuring the seamless transfer of a vast array of articles, pages, media files, and diverse content categories.
The project involved not only the redesign of the website’s visual elements but also a comprehensive restructuring of content classifications to align with WordPress. Through strategic planning and execution, Outsourcify successfully overcame the content migration challenges, delivering a custom WordPress website that not only captured the essence of The Global Justice Center’s mission but also provided a robust, user-friendly platform for efficient content management and impactful online engagement.
