Clear and understandable, intuitively navigated, with content presented in attractive form, and using modern technology – that is what can be expected by the visitors of the only portal for NGOs in the Polish Internet.
With a view of strong and competent NGOs
A dozen or so months of hard work, user surveys, looking for inspiration, collecting ideas and implementing the best of them bore fruit. The traditional information portal ngo.pl has been transformed into a modern medium for NGOs and offers users easier access to its professional resources. It is now modern, intuitive, understandable, while still reliable and bearing on the merits of the matter! So that ngo.pl could make work in the Third Sector organizations easier, help solve social problems and extend knowledge on NGOs functioning.
New artwork and information architecture
Navigation on ngo.pl portal is simplified – the contents of a dozen or so services have been consolidated in the following 8 sections: Facts, Funds, Opinion Journalism, Guide, Adverts, Services, Training Sessions and Events, Directory of Organizations and Warsaw Service. The new architecture extends access to information and makes use of the portal easy and intuitive, thanks to the new look, among other things. Consistent and user-friendly color scheme makes browsing content easier and the portal itself – clear and understandable.
Convenient, Mobile, Available
New ngo.pl presents information in different way. More videos, photos and infographics as modern forms of presenting guidance and opinion journalism. The portal is available for mobile devices, and its technological solutions make using its resources easy for people with disabilities.
More user’s independence (and liability)
New intuitive forms allow the users to post their information quickly. The information is post-moderated, so now the person bears more responsibility for posted content as the ngo.pl editorial office does not interfere with the content to the extent as it used to.
Building financial independence
Thanks to our sponsors, the access to the portal content is free. However, our users have a possibility to pay online for highlighted information if they wish to promote it. That is the first step to financial development of our portal in the future, important for its continuation and maintenance.
The new image of ngo.pl was financed by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation; the new portal was created by Adam Hościło and Grzegorz Wolański (Enveloop), and a team of Witkac company.
