a completely renewed website and more online success.

Stichting Vluchteling (SVL) provides life-saving aid to people suffering from conflicts, violence or natural disasters.

For SVL, the website is an important tool for the organisation's communication and fundraising activities.

SVL asked us. to develop a user-friendly, future-proof website that helps the organisation achieve its ambitions and objectives.

Key to that: topicality. When disaster or crisis strikes, SVL needs to respond immediately – on the website too, and preferably fully independently.

With the fundraising platform of us. we laid the foundation for the new website. Video material plays an important role in the design: it gives a compelling picture of the circumstances refugees often find themselves in.

For SVL we designed and built a special component that lets editors easily integrate social media posts into an online banner – more topicality and urgency, fully independently deployable whenever needed.

The website is the first fundraising platform we hosted on Google Cloud Platform, whereas we used AWS for everything before. The cms is based on WordPress, with custom work to run fast, secure and scalable, cloud native.

At the time of the launch, the devastating floods in Libya were unfolding. SVL was one of the first organisations to immediately free up aid and funds – and the website had to be adjusted last minute to reflect the situation.

Thanks to a clear handover, SVL's own staff were able to do this themselves. The user-friendliness of the platform proved itself in practice straight away. Together with SVL we keep looking at what can be improved and develop the platform step by step.
