Case Study: Ford Foundation modernizes web publishing and improves accessibility with WordPress VIP

Ford Foundation reduces training time by 95% with WordPress VIP

The Ford Foundation, a major social justice philanthropy, faced significant challenges with its outdated and cumbersome web CMS. The system created a bottleneck in their publishing workflow, relied heavily on a single employee, and required extensive training. With their previous CMS approaching end-of-life, they sought a modern solution and selected the WordPress VIP platform to overhaul their infrastructure.

WordPress VIP provided a modern, secure, and user-friendly solution centered on the WordPress block editor. This empowered the Ford Foundation's team, drastically reducing training time by 95% and increasing the number of active content creators from one to nine. The implementation also included the creation of a new video accessibility plugin, which improved their own site's accessibility while benefiting the broader WordPress community.
