Overview:
A website redesign for Kidane Meheret Orthodox Church focused on improving accessibility, navigation, and community engagement for both existing members and first-time visitors. The project explores how digital experiences can support faith, cultural identity, and belonging within the Ethiopian Orthodox community.

Problem:
Many first-generation Ethiopian Americans and immigrant families navigate questions of faith, identity, language, and tradition across multiple cultural contexts. The existing website provided limited support for discovering resources, understanding Orthodox practices, accessing church information, and building deeper connections to the community.

Current Focus:
• Information Architecture
• Navigation Design
• Accessibility Improvements
• Community Resource Discovery
• Faith-Based User Experience

Expected Outcome:
A digital platform that helps immigrant families, first-generation Ethiopians, and newcomers more easily explore their faith, access church resources, and connect with the broader Orthodox community.
