The web portal of the Reformed Church of Basel-Landschaft, specialist offices such as diaconia and youth work, and parishes such as Birsfelden and Schafmatt-Wisenberg run on one multi-tenant platform: a shared foundation, their own domain, their own presence.
Every parish has its own audience, its own events and its own pace. What they share are the tasks behind them.
Instead of building and maintaining each website individually, there is one platform on which the cantonal church, specialist offices and parishes each run their own website.
The Mandator-Bundle keeps the websites cleanly separate: their own domain, their own editorial team, their own content and their own permissions, on shared technology. Via the parish finder, the portal leads to all 31 parishes in the canton, including those with their own website outside the platform.
What benefits everyone is created only once: security updates, new features and improvements reach all websites at the same time, without each one needing its own project.
Each website enters its own services, courses and events in the shared calendar module. All use the same 14 event types and eight target groups, by which the calendar can be searched and filtered.
Parishes and the cantonal church enter news and events once and share them with each other. Content, editorial teams and permissions remain separate for each website.
Each parish maintains its own content, with its own images, its own texts and its own contact persons.
Birsfelden shows room hire, a newsletter and its support association, Schafmatt-Wisenberg the duty weeks of its ministry team and its own app. Editing is done with Stack CMS directly on the finished page, and roles and permissions apply per website.
Each parish shows its calendar on its own website, with search and filters, on smartphones too.
Each event has its own page with location, a link to the map and a calendar entry to save. This is how Schafmatt-Wisenberg brings the events from eight villages together in one calendar.
Updates, security and new features are handled centrally, for all websites at the same time.
A new website gets the existing modules from day one, with its own name within the shared visual identity, just like the diaconia office. Operations and further development are in cloudtec’s hands.
A platform for many independent parishes only works if all of them experience it as their own.
Requirements came from the canton and from the parishes. What belongs together and what stays separate was clarified in advance.
Not all parishes at once: the switch happened parish by parish, with experience from the first ones informing the next.
New parishes join without a new project being needed. They are set up on the existing platform.
We’ll show you what a multi-tenant platform looks like in which every location stays independent.
