Stiftung „Fürs Leben" is the hardship foundation of Samariterbund Austria: it steps in when illness, accident or a sudden loss of income leaves people falling through the gaps of the public welfare system — quickly, for a defined purpose, without months of paperwork. When the foundation needed its own online home, the brief was refreshingly unglamorous: no marketing theatre, just a site that explains within a few clicks who can apply, how the process works and how to donate.
- Lean TYPO3 setup so that the volunteer-run team can maintain content without developer help
- Plain-language entry page covering eligibility, the kinds of hardship the foundation supports and the documents required
- Downloadable application form embedded in the foundation's advisory workflow
- Prominent donation account and transparent use of funds as a trust anchor
- Quiet, restrained design without stock-photo pathos — appropriate for sensitive social cases
- Solid mobile readability, because many requests do not come from a desk
With rockit, Stiftung „Fürs Leben" got a website that explains its mission as soberly as it carries it out. The site has since been folded into the main Samariterbund portal — but for years, the original TYPO3 presence was the first port of call for applicants and donors alike.
