Global Symphony for a United World

For a non-profit that is not a registered charity, the website carries almost all of the proof. A funder checking the society, a visitor thinking about a print and a neighbour deciding whether to come to a gathering all land on the same pages. The strategy was to make those pages show the work itself: the paintings, the writing and the programs, with a clear way to buy, join or give from each.

The design came from Frantisek's process. His originals become oil prints, so the site behaves like a print room: a quiet paper ground, one dark band, and colour that arrives only through the art. Each page has its own ink wash, rules and marks drawn in ink. Nothing on the site competes with the paintings for colour.

The homepage showpiece is the pairing. Chantal's sentences sit beside one of Frantisek's paintings, and as each sentence arrives, a region of the painting lights up. It says in one moment what the society is: a painter and a writer working on the same thing.

The writing moved house intact. All 79 posts from the old WordPress site came across, checked against a baseline so not one of Chantal's words changed. 78 now live as writings and the guided meditation moved to its own page, with its old address redirected. 29 of the writings carry a film, and the player loads only when someone asks for it.

The store is built so the art is never altered. Room views show each print on a wall, and a script checks that every view holds the original master at its exact proportions. The 67 prints come in 788 size and frame options, printed and shipped by a print-on-demand partner, and prices show in the visitor's own currency abroad.

The mission gets as much room as the store. Membership, donations (one-time or monthly), volunteering, sponsorship, the magazine, the events calendar and each program have their own page, so a visitor who came for the art can find out what it funds.

The layout was checked on 31 routes at 8 screen widths, from a 360 px phone to a 1920 px desktop: nothing scrolls sideways and the header never overlaps. The automated accessibility scan reads zero critical or serious issues on the routes it covered, and the site is built toward WCAG 2.2 AA.

The site went live on September 24, 2026, about three and a half weeks after the build started. The theme's code lives in the society's own GitHub account.
