CONTEXT
Web Design
Web Development
Ever since Pope Francis urged mankind to “recover a serene harmony with creation” in his environmental cyclical, Laudato Si’, Living Chapel dedicated its existence to building a place of prayer that unites humanity with God and nature. Composed of artists and architects who share a relationship with the Lord, the organization incorporates the natural, artistic, and recycled to create a sacred space of serene harmony.
The organization had an inspiring and altruistic message but needed an effective way to disseminate it. They reconnect with nature through interfaith collaboration in establishing Laudato Si’ Gardens and Living Sacred Spaces. The Living Chapel came to us with the desire to reach out and inspire more people. They needed a website that spread their word of re-establishing mankind’s bond with nature.

IDEALS
Mission motivated by God
Laudato Si’, subtitled, “on care for our common home”, calls on the people to “cooperate as instruments of God for the care of creation”. First, they employed architects and landscape artists to execute their vision. Now, they approached us to help them spread their message of unifying humanity with God and His creation through an online channel. For the Living Chapel, our goal was to create an engaging and motivating website that not only equips people with information about the cause but also inspires them to be a part of the movement.
In handling the development of the website, we had two main goals: Make it responsive and make it fast. With simple functionalities and a minimalist design, we knew we had to get the basics down right.
