Engineering speed and clarity for a global changemaker network
Ashoka Innovators for the Public, one of the world’s largest networks of social entrepreneurs, had a legacy website that was buckling under its own weight — 11-second load times, fragmented navigation, and a CMS that required developer intervention for every content update.
Mantle rebuilt the platform from the ground up with a modern JAMstack architecture, integrated AI-powered search, and a headless CMS that empowered the editorial team to publish independently. We also redesigned the information architecture to surface 20+ years of impact stories in an intuitive, filterable interface.
The outcome
Average page load dropped from 11 seconds to 1.8 seconds. Organic traffic grew 240% within three months, and the bounce rate fell by 38%. The editorial team now publishes content without any developer support.
