Success story

Sport Vlaanderen

Sport Vlaanderen is a government organization that aims to promote physical activity among the Flemish population in Belgium. The organization's website was developed using the open-source Umbraco content management system, which allows for flexibility and scalability to support the over 40 000 pages of content on the site.

Sport Vlaanderen, een Belgische overheidsorganisatie die fysieke activiteit bevordert, werkte met ons samen om een flexibele en schaalbare website te ontwikkelen met het open-source CMS Umbraco. We creëerden een gebruiksvriendelijke website samen met Leap Forward . Er werd een centraal beheersysteem voorzien voor meer dan 3000 pagina’s aan content en we integreerden een extern sportsysteem voor real-time route-informatie. Met Bynder beheerden we alle media centraal. Het project, uitgevoerd volgens de Scrum-methodologie, resulteerde in een platform dat de fysieke activiteit effectief promoot met meer dan 4000 doorzoekbare sportactiviteiten.

Challenge

Sport Vlaanderen needed a flexible and scalable website to manage over 3000 pages of content and provide comprehensive information on sports activities. Additionally, all these web pages needed to be customizable and manageable in a central system to accommodate a large team. They also wanted to implement an external system to fetch existing sports routes, which needed to be integrated into the website with necessary filtering and details. Furthermore, these pages contain a lot of content and photos. Sport Vlaanderen wanted to manage all their media/photos in one central location, which posed a challenge.

Solution

The website was developed using the open-source content management system (CMS) Umbraco, which offers flexibility and scalability. A Single Page Application (SPA) with Angular was created for the activities page, making the information easily searchable and filterable. The project followed the Scrum methodology, allowing for a fast-paced two-week release cycle and facilitating content additions during development. Additionally, we used Bynder to centrally manage all media, ensuring performance and ease of use.

Results

The Sport Vlaanderen website, managed by a team of 30 content editors, effectively promotes physical activity with more than 4000 searchable sports activities. Custom integrations with the organization’s backend systems were implemented to enhance functionality while maintaining user-friendliness for content editors.

Future Outlook

The collaboration continues with the optimization and innovation of the digital platform, integrating new features to further support Sport Vlaanderen's mission.

Digitization of education

Educational institution GO! needed a modern solution that could give students an independent way of developing their strengths and weaknesses by using a variety of learning materials in line with government-issued focus goals.

QTeam

For Q-Team, the collaboration started in 2014 and is still ongoing today. What began as a creative exploration evolved into a long-term digital partnership, in which the platform has been continuously expanded and optimized with a strong focus on usability, performance, and integration with internal systems.
