At the request of Halewijn, Genscom set out to build a digital platform with an online editor. This would enable thousands of volunteers to directly and personally contribute to the local editions of Kerk&Leven. The editor was rigorously tested with the volunteers. Genscom succeeded in creating a simple, user-friendly tool create specially for those with little to no graphic experience.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Youth organizations and associations are introduced to the advantages of the online editor. Local volunteers can now publicize their local activities in a newspaper using the organization\u2019s corporate style guide and with help from a professional design and training from Genscom. What\u2019s more: organizations are guaranteed the lowest print rates, regardless of print run, and are provided access to a library with tailored texts and images.\u00a0<\/p>

Soon, many charitable organizations, residential care centers and social housing companies climb on board. Now, over 200 organizations and institutions utilize a tailored design platform from Genscom. Interested?
