MS-Liga Vlaanderen vzw was founded in 1982 and focuses on the general
well-being of people with MS and their environment. Optimal quality of life is
central to this. The organisation consists of a close-knit team of permanent
staff and volunteers.
In addition to the main MS-Liga Vlaanderen website, MS Liga also has a platform
that simplifies the administration of members and donations: Together MS Flanders.
Until recently, only the staff and volunteers of MS-Liga Vlaanderen used it.
Until recently because... we made sure that from now on this online platform is
the place to be for everyone who wants to join the fight for a better quality of life
for people with MS.
For years, the existing digital tool was only used internally and has since become outdated. In terms of appearance, the tool could use a refresh, but its user-friendliness also did not meet current expectations. In addition, we made sure security was up to date with current GDPR legislation.
Another challenge was to make the platform accessible to an external audience. The end user will no longer just do internal administration, but will also contribute to digital donations and campaigns of the non-profit organisation.
Members will have access to the website, making membership an important pillar. On the new platform, MS-Liga Vlaanderen wants to give end users the opportunity to create a profile and manage their data. The user experience of members will be central here.
For this project, our developers started from an existing Drupal 7 CMS/CRM. Since MS Liga staff are happy with how their CRM works, we chose in consultation to keep the integration with CiviCRM. As a new CMS system, Drupal 9 was the preferred choice. The advantage of Drupal as a CMS system is its flexibility to manage pages. This allows MS-Liga's editorial team to independently add, modify and temporarily or permanently delete content.
Our migration plan for MS-Liga:
To ensure a smooth transfer from the existing
platform to the new website, a thorough migration plan was drawn up by our developers.
Hosting was also transferred. To ensure a successful transition, we took the following
features into account:
The internal staff of MS-Liga Vlaanderen vzw can continue to work carefree with the CRM familiar to them, but in a more secure and user-friendly way. With the added bonus that the platform is ready for a digital future. Online donations, gifts, memberships and campaigns can be registered via the tool. Moreover, the new platform also allows end users to manage their profiles and memberships.
