Dotlines Social homepage: hero with impact counters

The homepage leads with beneficiaries and the headline impact figure, not with corporate boilerplate.

01

The problem

Ten platforms, thirteen development partners, one credible front door

Dotlines has been building technology in Bangladesh since 2004, and in 2023 spun its social-impact work out into its own entity. That work sprawls: connectivity, telemedicine, insurance, e-learning, logistics, job matching, e-commerce — alongside donor-funded field projects with organisations like UNCDF, Swisscontact, Save the Children and iDE.

None of it lived anywhere a prospective partner could see it. Funders evaluating the organisation had no single place to judge track record, reach, or the people behind the work.

What we set out to do

A photo-forward content site that leads with beneficiaries rather than logos: mission hero, live impact counters, a project archive with outcomes, video impact stories, the platform ecosystem explained plainly, a 2004–2025 milestone timeline, team, FAQ, and a partner wall.

Built on WordPress with a bespoke theme — no page-builder bloat — so the comms team publishes new projects, stories, and blog posts themselves without a developer in the loop.

What we built

Nine templates, all client-editable
  1. A public front door for the whole organisation

    One site that holds the mission, the operating platforms, the field projects, and the people — so a funder can judge track record without asking for a deck.

  2. A project archive that keeps earning

    Every engagement gets its own entry with partner, cohort, and outcome, so past work keeps arguing for the next contract.

  3. Beneficiary-first storytelling

    Photography and video impact stories lead; logos and org charts follow. The homepage opens on the people served, not the corporate structure.

  4. A CMS the comms team actually runs

    Bespoke WordPress theme with no page-builder lock-in — new projects, stories, and posts publish without a developer.

The scale behind the story

Carnival Internet: 1.1M+ users across 15,000 hotspots · Ghoori Learning: 1.2M learners · 31,000+ resellers on the group’s commerce platforms — twelve years of work the site had to make legible to funders in one scroll.
