Church City Mission: Tailored for the opportunities and challenges of the future

The Church City Mission is an organization that is located in as many as 50 major cities in Norway. They operate at street level among people who, in various ways, have a tougher life than most of us. Through a wide range of activities, they work with the goal of helping the most disadvantaged in society find their way back to their own dreams, hopes and resources.

The Church City Mission had put a lot of work into modernizing the organization and clarifying its work structure. They had also created a new visual profile. That's why they needed a new digital solution that could help tie it all together.

With initiatives in most cities in the country and many different initiatives in each city, they wanted the platform to link the activities more closely together - both visually and technically. This was to give the public a better overview of the organization's work, but also to gather the Church City Mission under a large orange umbrella. They wanted to strengthen the visibility of the work of all the enthusiasts around the country and make it easier to communicate both internally and externally.

Another of the channels they wanted to strengthen was online shopping. The online store sells products that are produced under the auspices of the Church City Mission. This provides work for many people who would otherwise not necessarily have a job to go to. They were keen to give it a digital boost and a more profressional online profile.

By adopting WordPress, they now have a solution that can be expanded in modules and developed in new directions, without requiring major design processes. At the same time, they have a publishing system that most people in the organization can easily understand and use.

For the online store, we developed a gift card solution with symbolic gifts, built an integration with their CRM system and further developed donation forms for campaigns. 

The online store is a collaboration between Dekode and the good people at Epilot, who have been responsible for the digital marketing.
