SNV’s work goes beyond implementing individual projects. They focus on deep system changes and building lasting impact. By enhancing knowledge and skills, they ensure that local communities and partners can continue to make progress independently, even after projects have ended.

As part of their strategy to communicate this mission more effectively and strengthen their position within the sector, SNV decided to completely redevelop their website. A new, future-proof website would not only better showcase their expertise and projects but also enhance interaction with partners and stakeholders. To achieve this, SNV chose to collaborate with us, specialists in digital platform development.

Our Collaboration with SNV

Given the complexity of the project, SNV set high expectations for collaboration. It was essential to work closely with the SNV team, prioritizing transparency, clear communication, and adherence to deadlines. Through an Agile process, both teams combined their expertise, enabling smooth and efficient project execution.

Powered by Storyblok

The Storyblok CMS (Content Management System) provides SNV with a streamlined content management experience. Its intuitive interface and powerful editorial capabilities simplify the process, allowing the team to create, edit, and publish a wide range of content—project descriptions, news articles, an extensive knowledge center, and partner-related information. This streamlined workflow enables simultaneous work on different parts of the website, resulting in faster turnaround times and efficient content updates.

Live Preview

With its intuitive interface, the SNV team can easily organize and adjust content blocks and create attractive pages without heavy reliance on technical expertise. The live preview feature allows changes to be visualized in real time and shared with others with a single click, improving the content creation process and facilitating collaboration and feedback.

Architecture

The redesigned SNV website is built on a solid technological foundation that combines performance and flexibility. The Nuxt.js framework delivers a smooth and dynamic user experience, while Netlify ensures secure hosting and rapid deployments. The headless architecture separates content management from presentation, making the platform easy to expand with new functionalities and integrations.

This technological ecosystem enables SNV to achieve their strategic goals with a website that is scalable, reliable, and future-proof.

Modular Configuration

Storyblok’s ecosystem of integrations and APIs gives SNV endless possibilities to enhance the functionality of their website. The CMS integrates seamlessly with various third-party tools, such as Google Analytics, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, and email services. This allows SNV to gain valuable insights, offer career opportunities, and automate marketing efforts. Additionally, Storyblok’s user-friendly environment enabled us to extend the CMS capabilities with customized solutions.

Content Migration included

Migrating more than 11,000 digital assets and 6,400 pages to Storyblok was one of the project’s biggest challenges. We developed automated scripts using the Storyblok Content Management API, enabling accurate and efficient content transfer.

During this process, duplicates were cleaned up, content was optimized, and the original material was reorganized according to the new layout. The SNV team closely monitored the validation of the migrated content, ensuring consistency and quality. This careful approach guaranteed a successful migration while fully preserving the richness and diversity of SNV’s digital resources, including images, documents, and multimedia files.

In Conclusion

With SNV now able to easily manage and enhance their content, they can focus on their primary mission: promoting sustainable development and creating lasting impact. The transformed website demonstrates the power of innovative technology in expanding the reach and effectiveness of organizations like SNV.

The result is a modern, engaging, and future-proof website that supports SNV in creating a sustainable and equitable world.
