Case Study: Olami Moscow
About the Project
Olami Moscow is a vibrant Jewish community center offering educational and social events for young professionals and students. Their website plays a key role in helping the organization promote upcoming activities, share announcements, and manage event participation.
The project focused on transferring the existing design to a more stable and scalable platform, while introducing flexible content management and custom features to simplify operations and improve the user experience.
Our team recreated the full website on WordPress, developing a reusable block system that allows the client to update content without technical assistance. We also implemented a custom event booking system with an interactive seating plan, enabling seamless registration and powerful admin tools for the Olami team.

Steps of the Project
We divided the project into multiple milestones and phases, each carefully planned to guarantee on-time and accurate completion.
-
Research, Copywriting, and Prototyping
We studied the original site structure and content layout to recreate each section with clarity and flexibility. Low-fidelity layouts were prepared to confirm flow and logic before development.
-
Visual Identity and UI Design
We stayed true to the original design, focusing on precision and fidelity while improving consistency across pages and devices.
-
Website Development
- Built with semantic HTML/CSS and a component-based WordPress system
- Integrated a block library to give the client full control over content
- Ensured clean performance, fast load times, and mobile responsiveness
-
Booking System Development
- Developed a custom event calendar for upcoming activities
- Built a seating plan widget where users can select specific seats
- Created an admin interface for editing seating layouts per event
- Enabled instant registration and ticket logic within the system
-
Testing and Optimization
- Accessibility checks across all devices and screen sizes
- Responsive behavior validated for mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Optimized for client-side editing and event workflow
Developing a new booking widget
To support Olami’s frequent events, we developed a powerful event booking system.
Users can browse the event calendar, select from available seats in a real-time map layout, and register instantly.
Each event can have a unique floor plan, easily editable by the admin through a user-friendly interface.
The result is an interactive and efficient solution for both attendees and organizers.
