Case Study: Helvetas unifies 30 country sites and boosts engagement and donations with Pimcore

Unifying Multiple Sites for a Swiss Non-Profit Organization

Helvetas is an independent Swiss development NGO active in around 30 countries with more than 250 projects, helping over 3 million people. Its previous online presence—26 independent country websites—failed to convey the organisation’s diversity or emotionally engage users and was difficult to manage; Helvetas needed a simple, intuitive, centrally managed site that would boost interaction, newsletter sign-ups and donations.

Using Pimcore DXP/CMS, Notch Interactive implemented a single multilingual website that consolidates country instances with geolocation-driven content, intelligent inheritance for centralized yet editable content, an interactive project map, rich multimedia and life stories, plus modular donation and emergency response components. The relaunch made Helvetas’ work more emotionally compelling and easier to navigate, exceeded engagement and activation targets, and turned the site into a highly effective tool for outreach and fundraising.
