Since 1948, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations, better known as IFALPA, has represented the interests of more than 160,000 professional pilots worldwide. With a mission focused on aviation safety and international representation, the organization needed a modern, flexible web platform that was better aligned with its communication needs.
8P Design supported IFALPA in the complete redesign of its website, rethinking its digital environment around three key priorities: modernizing its image, simplifying content management, and better showcasing its international presence.
The new website, developed with WordPress and Elementor, replaces the former Umbraco CMS and gives the internal team greater autonomy. A refreshed web visual identity, reusable components, and an interactive map of member associations now allow IFALPA to present its content, resources, and global reach with greater clarity.

8P Design was able to understand IFALPA’s needs, objectives, and challenges as an international organization. The team delivered a high-quality website redesign through a collaborative, rigorous, and flexible approach, while providing exceptional support before, during, and after the launch. We felt that we were working with a true partner, fully committed to the success of the project.
We selected 8P Design for the complete redesign of IFALPA’s website, a major project, as our website is the primary communication tool for our organization. It allows us to share our positions, publications, and activities with our member associations, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders, both in Canada and internationally.
From the very beginning, the team took the time to fully understand our structure, our needs, our objectives, and the challenges specific to an international organization. This understanding translated into relevant recommendations and an approach that went far beyond the visual aspect, in order to concretely support our communication objectives and operational needs.
The deliverables were of high quality, and the final result perfectly reflects the professional image we wanted to project. The team also demonstrated great flexibility when our needs evolved during the project, while maintaining an excellent level of rigor and follow-up.
We particularly appreciated their availability and responsiveness. Requests were handled quickly, issues were resolved efficiently, and communication was always simple, constructive, and pleasant.
Throughout the project, 8P Design was a true partner. Their advice was sound, their approach collaborative, and their professionalism consistent. We always felt that we were working with a team fully invested in the success of the project.
