The problem
There was no website at all. Mass times, parishes and contacts lived in a printed yearbook and in people’s heads.
What I did
Designed and built the site and its content model from the church’s own yearbook, mass-time documents and parish sheets, confirmed with the clergy.
The result
24 parishes and centres in 5 pastoral zones, 13 priests and 25 communities, live in four languages.
Accurate before beautiful.
A schedule engine, not a table
Each Mass can be set to winter or summer, to certain months, or to a week of the month such as “first Friday”.
- tradeoff
- More complex to edit than a list.
- why
- A static table goes wrong twice a year. People drive to church on what the site says.
The liturgical day, computed
The season, its colour and the main feasts are worked out from the date of Easter every day.
- tradeoff
- A small calendar engine to maintain.
- why
- It keeps the site current with no one editing it.
Built from the yearbook
Zones, parishes and mass times come from the church’s own documents and were confirmed with the clergy; news is shared from kish.al with permission and a source line.
- tradeoff
- Slower to launch.
- why
- A church site that gets a mass time wrong loses trust immediately.
Donations without a payment system
The donate page lists the accounts in lekë, euros and dollars, each with a copy button.
- tradeoff
- No one-click payment.
- why
- Bank transfer is how people give here, and it adds no fees or compliance work.
