Background
Givart is a global non-profit initiative built around a powerful idea: every act of kindness deserves to be seen, shared, and supported. The vision behind Givart was to create a digital ecosystem that connects Givartists (people performing acts of kindness), Patrons (those who fund and support them), and Communities impacted by these actions. Rather than operating as a single website, Givart required a multi-platform digital ecosystem capable of handling storytelling, community engagement, donations, and long-term scalability — all while maintaining trust, transparency, and ease of use. Silquetech partnered with Givart as a technology and product partner, responsible for turning this vision into a fully functional digital platform.
The Challenge
Building Givart presented several unique challenges including designing a platform that balances emotion, trust, and usability, supporting multiple user types with different journeys, combining storytelling, payments, and content in one ecosystem, ensuring scalability for a global non-profit audience, and maintaining simplicity while handling complex workflows behind the scenes. This was not a traditional website project — it required product thinking, system design, and long-term planning.
Objectives
Build a central web platform for the Givart movement
Enable users to share and discover acts of kindness as stories
Create a transparent and secure donation flow
Launch a mission-driven e-commerce store to support fundraising
Develop a content and blog platform for awareness and growth
Ensure the entire ecosystem is scalable, secure, and easy to manage
Our Approach
Silquetech approached Givart as a full product build, not a single deliverable.
Deep discovery to understand the mission and long-term goals
Designing user journeys for different roles within the platform
Creating modular systems that could evolve independently
Building clean, scalable backend architecture
Ensuring consistent branding and UX across all platforms
The focus was always on clarity, impact, and sustainability.
Solution
We designed and developed Givart as a three-part digital ecosystem, unified under one mission. The Core Givart Platform serves as the central hub where users connect, share stories, and participate in the movement. The Givart E-commerce Store is a purpose-driven store selling merchandise to support the non-profit's mission. The Givart Content & Blog Platform is a storytelling and awareness platform designed to grow the movement organically. Each platform serves a specific role while remaining fully integrated into the larger ecosystem.
