Project Overview
The Work & The Why
An Tobar Nua is a vibrant ministry in Galway, Ireland, offering spiritual retreats, counseling services, a café, bookshop, and broader community outreach. Flying Donut Media was brought in to design and develop a WordPress website that could unite these diverse efforts while remaining user-friendly, welcoming, and reflective of their mission.
We built a clean, fully responsive site that makes it easy for visitors to navigate services, connect with staff, and submit inquiries. Each key offering—retreats, counseling, social justice, the café, and more—has a dedicated section with clearly defined calls to action. Behind the scenes, we integrated Google Maps for location context and configured SMTP email delivery to ensure all form submissions arrive reliably. From thoughtful design to structured content flow, the site invites engagement while staying easy to manage for the An Tobar Nua team.
Project Highlights
- Logic-based inquiry routing across five service areas
- Google Maps integration + SMTP authenticated email
- Accessible, mobile-optimized for local and international visitors
