The Netherlands Statistics Office (CBS) wanted to modernise the Youth Monitor, an online platform that presents statistics and insights about young people in the Netherlands. Dawn Technology developed the new website: accessible, intuitive and fully optimised for mobile use.
The original Youth Monitor was strong in content but technologically outdated and not suitable for mobile users. Commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), CBS set out to create a new, future-proof platform.
The key requirements were clear: comply with government branding guidelines and accessibility standards, present statistical information in a clear and engaging way, and improve navigation and usability for visitors.
Dawn Technology was selected based on a successful track record with CBS, including the development of the corporate news platform and the Long-Term Care Monitor.
The overall structure of the website had already been defined. The challenge lay in execution, planning and user experience. We delivered a detailed project plan with a short yet realistic timeline and developed the platform in full compliance with government accessibility requirements and design standards.
A key feature of the project was the development of a flexible table module within the CMS. This allows editors to easily add, remove or hide columns without any technical knowledge. At the same time, all tables remain responsive and highly readable across desktops, tablets and mobile devices.
The result is a content management experience that is both powerful and easy to use, while ensuring visitors always have access to clear and well-structured data.
The new Jeugdmonitor provides policymakers, researchers and citizens with direct access to reliable insights into the lives of young people in the Netherlands. The website is visually more appealing, more approachable and fully accessible for mobile users.
CBS values Dawn Technology’s clear communication, customer-focused approach and commitment to quality. The result is a modern data platform that makes information easier to explore, understand and use for research and policymaking.

The Abuse Information Exchange Association helps internet service providers detect and combat botnet infections more effectively. To support this mission, Dawn Technology developed AbuseHUB: a powerful platform that centrally collects, analyzes, and visualizes malware activity.
The coronavirus pandemic was the first pandemic where IT played a crucial role in fighting the virus. The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport developed several apps that played a key role in policy to prevent the spread.
