UNITARIANS MANCHESTER

PROJECT INTRODUCTION

The Unitarians are a spiritual group, bringing together a variety of people, beliefs and experiences. The Unitarians were looking to refresh their online presence through a new website featuring: a refreshed, modernised design, a calendar with events across 13 congregations and an online store selling the Unitarian Magazine eBooks.

1. WEBSITE DESIGN

The main focus of the website design was to ‘modernise’ the Unitarians online presence, transforming from a dated, dull appearance to something more attractive and appealing to a wider audience. Arka sought to achieve this by considering three perspectives: Maintaining and improving solutions for the existing user base. Addressing barriers preventing offline members/audience from online engagement. Targeting a new,  younger, ‘trendy’ audience.

Keywords: friendly, approachable, open, spiritual, calm, thoughtful

2. CONGREGATIONS CALENDAR

The Unitarians Manchester District Association consists of 13 separate congregations located in the Greater Manchester area, as such the Unitarians Manchester website serves as a central point for these various chapels. Arka created a calendar solution with several features to meet and anticipate the needs of the congregations and the Unitarians Manchester members:
CENTRAL CALENDAR
EVENT FILTERING/SEARCH
CONGREGATION PAGE SPECIFIC FEED
GOOGLE MAPS INTEGRATION
CALENDAR INTERGRATION
EVENT SOCIAL SHARING

3. the unitarian magazine

The Unitarians Manchester District Association produce a monthly magazine, The Unitarian, which has been printed and circulated to subscribers for several years.  This was another process to be modernised; with the goal of transitioning the magazine to an online product, with more flexibility through the option to purchase individual copies, in addition to a yearly subsciption.
