LGBT Sphere.
A platform for a community that wants to talk, connect and contribute. Built around a fresh brand identity.

The starting point
LGBT Sphere wanted more than a classic association website. The community needed an online space of its own: a place to sign up, exchange and contribute, while at the same time giving outsiders a clear picture of who the community is. The visual identity wasn’t set yet, brand and platform had to grow side by side.
What we did
The platform was built on WordPress with a BuddyPress community: a public editorial layer with articles and news, plus a protected members area with profiles, discussions and event features. Social login lets members come in without yet another account.
Alongside that, the brand took shape, wordmark, colour system and typography, tuned to the breadth of the community without falling into clichés. The design was carried through the platform consistently so members and guests feel at home from the first click.
The outcome
The platform delivers what the community asked for: a place for real interaction, not just information. The editorial team keeps content up to date on its own, members bring in their own contributions, and the brand reads as one piece across every channel.
