"We ran a highly competitive [selection] process and feel that we really made the right decision to go with Pomegranite. They made the whole process reassuring and straightforward. We are delighted with the final version. The training we were given on using the site was comprehensive. As an NGO, we also feel that the ethos of Pomegranite matches our mandate and they have really accepted and worked within our constraints."

- Sarah Le Mesurier, Director of External Relations, ICJ

The challenge

The ICJ required a website that could house a vast library of over 6,000 resources spanning decades, while remaining easy to navigate, highly accessible, and globally relevant. They wanted users to engage meaningfully with their legal insights and human rights work.

Our approach

Pomegranite led a full website redesign focused on:

  • Information architecture: we reimagined the content structure to foreground the most important, time-sensitive information.
  • Resource hub design: a comprehensive, user-friendly resource hub was developed to organise and improve discoverability across more than 6,000 resources spanning decades.
  • Accessibility: in collaboration with visually impaired testers, we implemented keyboard navigation, enhanced semantic structure and screen reader support to ensure full usability for all users.
