chaLLenGe: Variety, The Children’s<br />

Charity, provides grants to Australian<br />

families and organizati<strong>on</strong>s for children<br />

who are sick, disadvantaged or have<br />

special needs. The charity decided in<br />

2010 that its website needed to be more<br />

user-friendly.<br />

soLuti<strong>on</strong>:<br />

“ Whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />

our users are<br />

supporters,<br />

d<strong>on</strong>ors or<br />

recipients <strong>of</strong><br />

equipment<br />

from Variety, our aim is to engage,<br />

inform and help <strong>the</strong>m via <strong>the</strong> website.<br />

<strong>EPiServer</strong> helps us do this through its<br />

Community module, allowing people<br />

to blog, post photos and interact, or<br />

create <strong>the</strong>ir own community. Since<br />

Variety does not employ dedicated IT<br />

staff, <strong>EPiServer</strong>’s ease <strong>of</strong> use saves<br />

costs and engages our communicati<strong>on</strong><br />

staff in <strong>the</strong> process. This means<br />

<strong>the</strong> site is always up to date, relevant,<br />

interactive and growing.<br />

Six m<strong>on</strong>ths after launching <strong>the</strong><br />

new Variety website, it showed a 50<br />

percent increase in traffic compared<br />

to <strong>the</strong> last full 12 m<strong>on</strong>ths <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous<br />

site. Online d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>s have also<br />

increased significantly, and several<br />

new corporate p<strong>art</strong>ners have found<br />

Variety via our website.”<br />
