The problem
GADRRRES (Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector) operates under Save the Children. They maintain a large collection of resources, research papers, toolkits, and guidelines related to disaster risk reduction in education.
Their existing WordPress site was slow and hard to navigate. The resource library had grown over the years but the search was basic. Staff had trouble updating content without developer help. Researchers visiting the site couldn't find what they needed without knowing exactly where to look.
What we built
CMS migration to Statamic. We moved the entire site from WordPress to Statamic, giving the team a clean, intuitive control panel for managing content. No more fighting with plugins or worrying about security patches. Content editing became straightforward enough that non-technical team members could handle it independently.
Algolia-powered resource library. The centerpiece of the rebuild. Every resource is indexed in Algolia, so search results appear as you type. Filters for topic, region, document type, and language let researchers narrow down exactly what they need. What used to take minutes of browsing now takes seconds.
Clean information architecture. We restructured how content was organized so that the site's navigation actually reflected how people use it. Resources, news, events, and organizational information each got clear, dedicated sections.
How it went
The site is live at gadrrres.net. Researchers and practitioners across the education and disaster risk reduction sectors use it to find resources quickly. The team manages their own content without needing developer support for everyday updates.
