We created a web platform for Croatian Benedictine monasteries to showcase their history and cultural significance through interactive elements and engaging visuals.
01Intro
Vita Benedicta is a community of Benedictine Sisters focused on preserving and promoting the spiritual and cultural heritage of Benedictine monasticism. With centuries of tradition, the Benedictine communities have shaped religious and cultural life in Europe. Their website highlights their history, spiritual practices, and contributions, fostering a deeper connection with the public.
02Challenge
The main challenge was creating an online presence that reflects the depth of Benedictine life while balancing tradition with modern functionality. The old website lacked the ability to convey the spiritual and cultural value of the communities and didn’t provide key features like event info, online donations, and a streamlined way to engage with their work. It also needed to showcase products and resources related to monastic life.
03Solution
The new website resulted in significant improvements, including higher shop revenue thanks to a streamlined online shopping experience. It also led to more inquiries for volunteering, donations, and spiritual engagement due to clearer calls to action and better visibility. Additionally, key performance indicators such as visitor engagement, session duration, and conversion rates for donations and purchases improved, strengthening connections with supporters.
Features
Key features we developed for Vita Benedicta Website:
Visual Identity
We created the complete visual identity design for the website, ensuring it aligns with the rich history and spiritual essence of the Benedictine communities. The design incorporates elements that reflect the depth and tradition of Benedictine monasticism including custom icon designs that communicate their work, life and sense of community.
Responsiveness
The website adapts well to various screen sizes, providing a seamless user experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Clean and Minimalistic Design
The website features a simple and clean design, focusing on conveying the spiritual and monastic themes effectively. The use of imagery from monastic life, nature, and sacred elements gives it a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
