SHALOM TEMPLE JOURNEY
Web Design, WordPress Development, and eCommerce Integration, Launched October 2025
Overview
Shalom Temple Journey, a newly registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in North Carolina, needed a digital platform to serve as the central hub for its mission—educating communities on holistic health, wellness, and natural living. The goal was to design and develop a website that could share educational content, host event information, facilitate donations, and feature a wellness store that integrates product acquisition with contribution-based giving.
My Role
As Creative Director, UX Designer, and WordPress Developer, I led every aspect of this project—from concept and design through launch and integration. I collaborated directly with board president Jacqueline Wilson, who served as the primary stakeholder and creative decision-maker. This project was built from the ground up using WordPress, the Divi Theme, and WooCommerce to create a flexible, scalable website aligned with the organization’s goals and long-term vision.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Migrating and consolidating years of content from multiple sources including social media, personal websites, and document archives.
Solution: Developed a structured content library with tagging and version control, simplifying migration and future scalability.
Mission Alignment
The website embodies Shalom Temple Journey’s mission to guide individuals toward holistic wellness through education, lifestyle change, and community connection. It provides the tools and knowledge for people to take actionable steps toward balance, both physically and spiritually, reflecting the nonprofit’s belief that “the body can restore itself given the right conditions.” Visitors experience a sense of inclusion, acceptance, and shared purpose—values central to the organization’s approach to health and healing.
The Result
The Shalom Temple Journey website represents more than a digital presence—it’s a foundation for growth, outreach, and education. Built with scalability in mind, it will continue to evolve as new programs, media, and wellness offerings are added, positioning the nonprofit for long-term digital sustainability and community impact.
