Feltámadás
Overview
Feltámadás is a congregation with a living rhythm — Sunday gatherings, weekday events, ongoing news, and a community that wants to stay close even between services. Their website is the public face of that life, the place where members and visitors alike find out what's happening, when, and how to be part of it.
Vandslab designed and built the entire Feltámadás website — from the public-facing experience to the purpose-built admin suite that lets the congregation share news, create events, and schedule newsletters, all from one place. The goal: a warm, clear digital home that the community can grow into, without ever touching code or juggling external tools.
The Challenge
Before the new site, keeping the community up to date meant patching together different tools and manual steps — one place for the website, another for sending newsletters, a third for event invitations, and a long email thread to coordinate it all. Every announcement took longer than it should, and every update risked falling out of sync somewhere.
The congregation needed a single content home that their own leaders could run, without relying on a developer for every change. News posts, event pages, and newsletter campaigns had to live in one system, reuse the same content where it made sense, and feel genuinely easy to manage — not like an enterprise CMS bolted onto a small community.
On top of that, the public site had to reflect the warmth and character of the community itself. It couldn't feel generic or templated — it had to be the kind of place where a visitor lands and immediately senses who Feltámadás is, what the community cares about, and how to take a next step.

The Solution
Vandslab built the full Feltámadás website as a modern, content-rich platform — with a fast public experience for members and visitors, and a tailor-made admin suite behind it that the congregation uses every day. The public site and the admin share a single content model, so anything published on the back-end appears on the website instantly, without manual syncing.
The public experience is organized around the community's real rhythm: clear paths to who we are, what's happening this week, upcoming events, and recent news. Visitors can find gathering times, read stories from the community, and follow links to the next event in just a few clicks. The design is warm and restrained, letting the content — and the people behind it — lead.
The admin suite is where the team actually lives. News posts, events, and newsletters can all be created, scheduled, and pinned from a single interface designed around how a small team of community leaders actually works. Events have their own page on the site automatically, news posts flow into the news feed, and newsletters can be drafted, scheduled, and sent — all without leaving the admin.
Under the hood, the platform was engineered to grow with the community. New sections, new categories, and new ways of organizing content can be added without rebuilding anything — the architecture was designed for a congregation that will keep evolving, not frozen around a snapshot of today's needs.
Technical Challenges & Solutions
Both the public website and the admin interface share the same underlying content model. A change made by a community leader in the admin appears on the site immediately — no manual syncing, no rebuild steps, no risk of stale content drifting between systems.
Instead of relying on three different tools, the admin suite handles all three content types natively. Events become their own scheduled pages, news posts flow into the public feed, and newsletters can be drafted, scheduled, and sent directly from the same interface — all sharing the same editor, assets, and publishing workflow.
The admin UX was shaped around how the Feltámadás team actually works — clear forms, sensible defaults, and only the fields that matter. Volunteers and community leaders can publish confidently without training decks or hand-holding, because the interface doesn't ask them to learn a generic CMS.
The public site was built with speed and clarity as primary goals. Pages load quickly even on slower connections, typography and layout are tuned for readability, and the content structure makes it easy for search engines and visitors alike to find what matters most.
Every route — home, about, events, news, individual posts — is built with clean URLs, structured metadata, and content ready to index. The Feltámadás community shows up in searches for the terms that matter to people looking for a congregation like theirs.
Outcome
The Feltámadás community now has a single digital home that reflects the warmth of the congregation and works as hard behind the scenes as it does out front. Members and visitors land on a clear, welcoming site; leaders open one admin to run the whole thing.
News, events, and newsletters live in one place, managed by the same people who know the community best. The technology stays out of the way — the website is simply the place where the life of the community is shared, one post, one event, one newsletter at a time.
