Nonprofits & education

When the website carries the mission, it cannot be treated as a brochure.

Smithsonian Folkways, The Skin Cancer Foundation, and the .NET Foundation depend on their platforms to preserve knowledge, reach the public, and support the communities they serve.

Smithsonian Institution

A collection manager for Smithsonian Folkways.

Problem

An aging CMS could no longer support the search, streaming, and internal workflows behind a 75,000-track archive.

Work

We migrated the platform to Orchard Core and built custom collection management, indexing, search, streaming, and audit features.

Result

The platform now supports the public website and the team's daily collection work, with faster browsing and better internal control.

The Skin Cancer Foundation

A mobile-ready site for The Skin Cancer Foundation.

Problem

An outdated website did not support mobile visitors, limiting access to the foundation's prevention and education content.

Work

We explained the available options, upgraded the CMS, and made the existing design responsive without replacing it.

Result

The updated site reached production with mobile support. The client said Lombiq delivered exactly what it promised.

.NET Foundation

A public website ready for sudden traffic spikes.

Problem

The Foundation needed a complete website rebuild that could remain available when major announcements brought sharp traffic increases.

Work

We rebuilt the site, created open-source content modules, and configured caching and Azure hosting for heavier demand.

Result

The site handled the traffic spike caused by Google's membership announcement without performance problems.
