World Vision Canada
Exceptional results for an exceptional organization.
50,000 pages. Multilingual. AODA compliant. 120 days. Some projects test you. This one defined us.
World Vision Canada has spent 65 years fighting child poverty. Their goal, ambitious as it sounds, is to put themselves out of work — to end childhood injustice and spark sustainable change in communities where no other charity has gone before. When an organization carries that kind of mission, their website needs to carry it too.
In 2017, they came to us for a complete overhaul. The brief was straightforward, even if the scope wasn't. Redesign and redevelop their entire digital presence, migrate the content, integrate with Kentico as their CMS of choice, ensure full AODA compliance, make it multilingual, and have it live in 120 days.
Our team handled everything from discovery through to deployment — design, front and back-end development, UX and UI documentation, content migration, Kentico CMS template development, AODA consultation, and deployment support. The new site loaded faster, ranked better in search, and was significantly simpler for World Vision Canada's digital team to manage day to day. Content that once required technical intervention could now be handled internally, backend issues dropped noticeably, and the people who lived in the CMS every day finally had a tool that worked with them rather than against them.
Air Whistle Media impressed us with anticipating our digital needs during the discovery phase and then delivering on time and budget. I value their ongoing partnership equally as much as their ability to deliver; focusing on a true partnership not just being an implementation vendor.

The industry took notice. The site was named a Kentico Site of the Month and nominated for Kentico's Global Site of the Year as one of only three contenders in its category. It also won the Communicator Award's Award of Excellence, the W3 Silver Award, and the MarCom Gold Award.
We launched four additional microsites over the following years.
It may not have been our largest deployment. It has absolutely been one of our most rewarding.
