Client Overview

The Diocese of Chikwawa is a regional arm of the Holy Catholic Church, operating under the Malawi Conference of Catholic Bishops (MCCB). Located in southern Malawi, the Diocese covers Nsanje, Chikwawa, and parts of Thyolo and Blantyre. The Diocese utilizes its website as a critical communication channel to inform and engage the community. It publishes updates from its pastoral commissions, social services, and various directorates, while also issuing emergency alerts, development news, and religious updates across the region.

Engagement Summary

The Diocese partnered with us to modernize its web presence through a comprehensive website upgrade. The primary objective was to bring the platform up to current digital standards while improving internal content management and public accessibility.

Key Deliverables and Objectives:

•Modern and engaging design aligned with the Diocese’s identity and mission
•Multi-user content management system (CMS) to allow directorates and departments to manage their sections independently
•Fully responsive layout optimized for desktops, tablets, and mobile devices
•Integration of Google Analytics for traffic monitoring and user insights
•Improved site structure and navigation for better accessibility to information
•Security enhancements to ensure safe content delivery and data protection
•Future scalability for potential additions such as donation features, newsletters, or livestreaming mass services

Our Solution

Website Design & Development

We redesigned the Diocese of Chikwawa’s website with a modern and responsive layout, ensuring seamless access across all devices. The new interface offers a clean, user-friendly experience for both visitors and administrators.

To support decentralized content management, we implemented a multi-user system that allows each diocesan directorate to update and manage their respective sections independently—streamlining communication and operations.

Additionally, we enhanced performance by introducing lazy loading and optimizing images. We also integrated Google Analytics to provide the Diocese with clear insights into visitor engagement and website traffic.

Expanded Offerings & Features

To enhance the platform’s value and serve a broader range of community needs, we introduced the following key features:

Emergency & Response - Enables the Diocese to share emergency updates, support affected communities, and mobilize donations from well-wishers during crises.

Donation Portal - A dedicated section that enables the public to support affected communities through monetary contributions, in-kind donations, or other forms of assistance - promoting transparent and accessible giving.

Request for Assistance - This feature empowers community members affected by natural disasters to directly submit requests for urgent support from diocesan leadership via the website.
