Garuda Centre is a medical centre in the Old City Quarter of Nanaimo that offers transformational groups, clinical counselling, kundalini yoga, mindful meditation, and more. Approaching us with the most interesting hand-crafted typography and incredible vision, they put their trust in our team and inspired us to create a beautiful, engaging website to align with their amazing philosophy and passion for their budding business. The Array team is incredibly humbled to win two gold awards for this web design in the 2020 & 2022 Hermes Creative Awards!

What Work Did We Do For Them?

2020:

  • Web Design/Development
  • E-newsletter template

2022:

  • Updated information architecture
  • Live in-studio feed
  • Online class schedule calendar
  • Online booking system
  • Google testimonial feed
  • Online chat support

How Did We Help Them Out?

2020:

  • Bold colour combinations of gold, red and blue and polished programming create a fluid, flowing layout that creates the illusion of movement and feels organic to explore.
  • Unique, angular graphics paired with parallax scrolling effects give the pages depth and an unrestrained feel for a unique user experience.
  • Expecting the typical user to view the website on the go to find out about the latest classes or workshops happening, we put the mobile user experience front and center and focused on mobile-first design. As a result, over 70% (72.3% in the last 90-days) of traffic has come from mobile devices.
  • Social media graphics, an e-newsletter template/sign-up form and podcast graphics (coming soon!) unify the brand’s digital touchpoints with consistent visual language.

2022:

  • With an expansion in services and target markets, we revamped the information architecture to level up the sales funnel, meet the needs of new audiences, and give them a more inviting experience that keeps them coming back for more.
  • An integrated live in-studio stream gives users the opportunity to share in the energy of transformational groups, discover kundalini yoga classes, or watch pre-recorded videos.
  • With an online calendar, Garuda members can view and register for upcoming classes and seamlessly add events to their Google, iCal or Outlook Calendars in a single click.
  • An online booking system is readily available on every page, allowing users to apply for upcoming transformational groups conveniently at any time, without having to worry if it’s within business hours
  • An online chat instantly connects users to a member of Garuda, relieving their team of the demands of a phone-based booking system and providing potential clients with a faster, more improved support experience.
