Gorta is Ireland's longest-established overseas development aid organisation, working for a world free from the injustices of chronic hunger, poverty and disease, with programmes mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.

The problem

Gorta needed to refresh their Lifetime Gifts campaign fundraising platform that would allow them to really communicate what they do, as well as providing the best possible experience for their donors.

Our process

We rapidly laid down the site requirements with Gorta and got to work building the website using Drupal & Ubercart.

Our solution

With the help and commitment of the great team at Gorta we delivered the project in just 4 weeks

The 'Lifetime gifts' website was built using a combination of Drupal and Ubercart. We developed a custom module, and email templates, to allow donors to send e-card gifts or order gift cards with their donation.

Our design was created to be simple and intuitive and to integrate well with other media such as print, banner ads, radio. This consistency is important, providing a seamless experience for the supporter, encouraging their trust in the process and their engagement with the organisation.

We devised a Drupal module to export orders in a format suitable for direct import into into their fundraising database (Raiser’s Edge), which was one of Gorta’s requirements for this project.
