Montessori EsF Global Platform Development

Montessori EsF aimed to unite numerous independent Montessori initiatives onto a single, cohesive online platform. Leveraging Webflow, we successfully migrated extensive legacy content and implemented a centralized content management system (CMS) featuring an interactive map. The new website streamlines the management of initiatives, blog posts, events, and resources, significantly enhancing collaboration and visibility within the global Montessori community.
