In today’s world, the role of international development organizations in maintaining global stability is more important than ever. For over 15 years, THOR has been proud to partner with both large and small development agencies to bring their impactful stories to life.

One such partnership was with Chemonics International, where we worked together to create a custom website to showcase their extensive library of documentary films. The goal was to design a media platform capable of attracting A-list production studios, sparking future collaborations in documentary film development. These films, which highlight grassroots efforts to uplift developing countries and provide opportunities to those in need, serve as powerful tools for positive change. Chemonics has long been at the forefront of these efforts, and the Media Showcase we developed for them is a sleek, modern platform that brings these stories to the world.

At THOR, we stand out because of our team’s diverse skill set. In this project, we leveraged our advanced video production capabilities to create engaging "hero" videos—dynamic reels that blend Chemonics’ original footage with stock media. This expertise sets us apart in the development sector. We aimed to make the microsite more than just a collection of media assets. Given the nature of the content, we put a strong emphasis on video and imagery. THOR’s expertise in video editing and photo enhancement added a visual richness, bringing Chemonics’ impactful work to life online. Our unique ability to offer design, UX, video, photography, development, and technical consulting all under one roof allows us to deliver world-class results on tight timelines and within the budgetary constraints that are often a reality in the development agency world, where maximizing the impact of funding is crucial.

For this project, we used WebFlow to build the Media Showcase. We chose WebFlow for its flexibility and scalability, enabling us to create a dynamic, responsive site that Chemonics could easily manage and update. The platform also ensured faster load times, delivering an optimal user experience. WebFlow plays a vital role in our multi-tier development approach, allowing us to quickly prototype, build rapid-turnaround sites, and offer a user-friendly CMS for easy content management.

The result is a vibrant, user-friendly microsite that not only curates Chemonics' media projects but also tells the story of their global impact and innovation. This platform strengthens Chemonics’ ability to connect with potential partners, funders, and collaborators. Its responsive design and ease of content management ensure that the site will continue to evolve alongside Chemonics’ needs, making it a valuable long-term asset for the organization.

Now that you’ve seen the impact we’ve made for Chemonics, we invite you to consider how THOR can help your organization tell its story and amplify its mission.
