The website for the Sanctuary of Santa Rita de Extrema was developed as a volunteer project in collaboration with the parish of Santa Rita, located in the city of Extrema. This project aimed to create an informative and engaging platform for the Catholic community, highlighting events, news, and the history of the sanctuary.
Using a fully customized approach with the WordPress CMS, technologies such as JavaScript, PHP, Bootstrap, Gulp, and SASS were employed to ensure efficient performance and a responsive design. The site was also configured with essential integrations, including Google Analytics for traffic monitoring and Google Calendar for event display. A unique feature of the site is the virtual candle page, which allows visitors to light candles and leave prayer requests through a simple form.
The design and content of the site were created using material provided by the parish, including images and texts that capture the essence and tradition of the sanctuary. This project not only offered an opportunity to apply technical skills for the benefit of the community but also provided a rewarding experience in terms of learning and personal growth.
The development of the Sanctuary of Santa Rita de Extrema website was a valuable collaboration with the local parish, aimed at providing a digital platform that connects the community and shares information about the church. Through intuitive navigation and practical features, such as the blog for news and updates, the site serves as a central reference point for both parishioners and visitors.
One of the most highlighted features is the virtual candle page, where the faithful can interact with the church in a unique way by lighting candles and sending their prayer requests directly through the site. This feature, combined with a modern and responsive layout, makes the Sanctuary of Santa Rita de Extrema website a powerful tool for engagement and communication.
