more impact with a new online platform.

SIDN Fonds supports innovative internet projects that contribute to a stronger and safer internet, skilled internet users and valuable initiatives for society. As a subsidiary of SIDN, the fund has supported more than 300 projects since 2015 that contribute to a strong internet for everyone.

The website had grown in small steps over the years. That showed in the structure, balance and appearance of the site – it no longer matched the needs. Time for a major update.

The collaboration between us. and SIDN started in 2013 with the development of a new website, mainly containing information and services around the .nl domain. In the years that followed we optimised the platform together with SIDN, and the collaboration grew into a close partnership.

SIDN Fonds also chose to work with us. – an excellent opportunity for us to further strengthen our relationship with SIDN.

SIDN Fonds wanted to move towards a contemporary, user-friendly and optimally accessible site with a good balance between text and imagery. The site had to match the fund's renewed procedures, its thematic approach and the wish to facilitate more knowledge sharing from supported projects.

Beyond that, the fund wanted to focus more on the impact of the fund and the supported projects. The improvements had to be made on the basis of the existing infrastructure and technology, and be easy to manage for the communications staff.

SIDN Fonds must be able to add and manage content independently, but also build landing pages easily and with consistent quality, and develop online activities in other desired ways. That's why – just as for sidn.nl – we used Contentful as the cms.

Contentful enables unlimited growth and flexibility: there are no limits to the digital experiences you can create with one and the same content platform. After the implementation, SIDN Fonds has an extensive toolbox of components, building blocks and sections.

The cloud native platform runs entirely on Google Cloud Platform and meets strict requirements for technology and security – verified through external audits.
