Design notes
A site for a Filipino-American church whose life runs on night shifts, care groups and a very serious kitchen. It leads with real faces and food, and organizes everything around when people actually get off work.
Sora carries the headlines: wide, sturdy and friendly, with enough room in its letters to set long Tagalog words without crowding. Plus Jakarta Sans, designed for Jakarta's city identity, handles reading text, a Southeast Asian typeface for a Southeast Asian congregation that also reads crisply on phones.
The blue and red come from the Philippine flag, softened toward the denim blue and tomato red of a jeepney's paintwork so they feel lived-in, not official. Neutrals are a cool gray-blue borrowed from Daly City's afternoon fog.
A tabbed app bar sits under a compact header, so the site behaves like the apps this audience already lives in. Six short tabs, each with a Tagalog label when the language switch is on, and the persistent action is 'Find a care group', because groups are where people actually stay.
A five-photo mosaic leads with a family, a buffet table and the volunteers before any words. For a community that judges a church by whether it feels like home, showing the long table first says more than a slogan. The headline then explains the name in one image: neighbors lifting a house.
Actions are concrete and local: 'Find a care group', 'Bring a dish', 'Fill a relief box'. The second Sunday service is named for who it's for, 'After-shift service', so a nurse coming off nights knows it was planned with her in mind.
Food, families and work clothes over stage lighting. Relief pages use photos from partner churches in the provinces, with captions naming the town, so donors can see where boxes go.
Headings, buttons, schedules and labels are in natural Tagalog when the switch is on. Longer paragraphs stay in English, as they would in the fellowship's own Taglish bulletin, rather than risk stiff machine-style Tagalog that older members would notice at once.
Body text is 17 pixels with generous line height and AA contrast in both themes. The weekly schedule marks today's column, and the visit page says plainly that scrubs and airport uniforms are normal on Sunday afternoon.
Every text pairing is checked against WCAG 2.2 in both themes.
