Chan Center

For the international Buddhist organization Chan Centre Hartovski vrh, we designed a new bilingual website that presents various meditation and mindfulness programs for adults and children. In addition to UX and UI, we designed the digital newsletter as well as a series of animations inspired by traditional Buddhist texts.

The website, which serves as the central point of communication in the network of other complementary digital channels of the organization, is multi-layered and complex in terms of content. Because of this, a large part of the task was to create a logical and congruous information architecture. Apart from information that is public and accessible to everyone, the website contains a closed members-only section that requires login. The design concept for several login and donation forms is based on a definition of modules with integrated payment enabled by the Stripe platform.

The existing visual identity of the organization served as the starting point for the website graphic design. Together with UX and UI, we created several animations inspired by traditional Buddhist texts as well as redesigned the newsletter to accommodate the new website design. The graphic design of the page reflects the principles of mindfulness that are the focal point of the organization, avoiding the clichés of Japanese calligraphy.

Even though most website visitors access it from desktop computers, we provided a simplified and optimized version for small interfaces, such as smartphones and tablets.
