The Hivos website makes extensive use of social media tools developed by Contactivity. The custom-made adds-on include user profiles, blogs, notifications and (social) bookmarking, personalized homepages, integration with YouTube and Flickr, a function to import and invite new users, jabber integration for site reports via a chat client. The site also features a payment gateway extension to allow Dutch users to make their donations via the Dutch banking system iDEAL. Contactivity continues to help Hivos expand this website's functionality and maintain the content management system.
