Brief
Official website of the Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Prešov — parish information, liturgical calendar, livestreams and the dobrodinec.online donation portal.
Redesign of the official Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Prešov website. It serves as a communication channel for the faithful, clergy and anyone interested in the archeparchy’s activities — parish news, liturgical calendar, video evangeliary and livestreamed services.
Part of the ecosystem is the dobrodinec.online donation portal, integrated in the homepage hero. The site mixes frequent editorial updates (news, events) with static institutional content (schematism, metropolitan).
Under the hood I built 3 API integrations (livestream feeds, external calendar, dobrodinec.online) and 2 custom export scripts for the priests + parishes database (3,000+ records) that the archeparchy uses for internal reports.
