Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft der Franziskanerinnen zu Olpe mbH (GFO)
Web Ecosystem for Over 60 Charitable Institutions

The Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft der Franziskanerinnen zu Olpe mbH (GFO) is a charitable organization with over 50 facilities in the fields of hospitals, elderly care and child and youth welfare. The facilities are located in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate and employ a total of more than 9,500 people.

Each of these facilities has its own history and identity, strengths and weaknesses. In their work, they all take the central statement "Yes to human dignity" to heart.

Under the umbrella of the GFO, there are a wide range of facilities that are geared towards the needs of local people. These include hospitals as well as services in the areas of child and youth welfare, elderly care and education.
Humanity and professional competence should be tangible in the GFO facilities. The various facilities and specialist areas work together and make use of synergies, focusing on the individual support and care of each individual.

The GFO is represented at many different locations and develops these in line with regional needs. Locally, for example, the senior center, the outpatient care service, the day care center and the hospital are closely networked. This enables short distances and good cooperation between the specialist departments.

GFO and sitegeist have been working together for 10 years. Back in 2010, sitegeist carried out the first relaunch of the website. This was followed by another relaunch in 2017. Since then, the project has been continuously developed, optimized and expanded and new institutions with their own websites are constantly being added. At the beginning of 2019, TYPO3 was updated to version 8, which means that the site is still technically up to date.

The project is structured in such a way that there is a central layout and navigation grid for all websites. There are different color codes for the different business areas.
This structure allows synergy effects to be fully exploited and new features can be made available to all facilities with little effort.

New facilities can be provided with their own web presence within a few hours. All institutions have the option of implementing individual wishes for their website, but the central structure ensures a uniform appearance for all institutions.
