# MenEngage Alliance - Released on: 24-Jul-2025 - Organisation: MenEngage Alliance - Services: Strategy, Information Architecture, Development, Support - Industries: Non-Profit, Activism and Advocacy, Community - URL: https://miranj.in/work/menengage-alliance MenEngage Alliance is a global network of non-profit organisations spanning across 5 continents that work with men and boys towards gender rights and gender justice for all. Before Miranj entered the ring, [MenEngage][] had begun working with our friend (and collaborator) [Hamsa Ganesh][thoughtput][^1] on a new microsite design (still under wraps). Alongside the development of this microsite, they were also looking at a larger-scale extension that would overcome several technical, design, and structural challenges with their primary MenEngage Alliance website. And that’s when Miranj was brought in. ### Strategy and Scoping Miranj was first tasked to conduct a strategy and scoping workshop. During this engagement, we interacted with multiple stakeholders and decision-makers within the organisation to shape the website’s overall architecture. The workshop was an opportunity to step outside the existing website and reimagine a site that aligns with the organisation’s current and future needs. This included drawing up a new sitemap, identifying content types and content models, and capturing the design expectation for both the primary website and the upcoming microsite. The system design envisioned content and resource sharing between the two sites and offered both sites in multiple languages for accessibility across the MenEngage network. We also delved deep into establishing new workflows for memberships and events, as well as potential integrations with their Membership Management System. The workshop ended with drawing up a multi-phased execution plan. ### Execution Post-workshop, the first phase of the project was commissioned for execution. Based on the scope and plan established in the workshop, Hamsa undertook visual design of the key templates, while Miranj commenced the project development using [Craft CMS][]. The development journey was charted out over 4 stages, keeping in mind MenEngage’s organisational priorities (and internal roll-out requirements). As a final step, Miranj executed a programmatic data migration of all stories and resources from their old WordPress website into the new CMS. ### Outcome The final website rolled out a fresh [homepage][menengage] design with two entirely new lenses for browsing the website information: [Approaches] and [Work Areas]. The [members directory][], [events][], [stories][] and [resources][] each have detailed filtering systems to narrow down to specific items. Every [network page][network] and [member page][member] automatically collates all related resources, stories and events. The website is offered in three languages: [English][menengage], [French][], and [Spanish][]. The MenEngage website revamp, with its phased approach, has established a scalable, multilingual digital platform that would enable the network to more effectively serve its mission and support collaboration across its global membership for the coming decade.
