Allaahuakbar.org — Frontend Editorial UI / UX Brief
Project Overview
Allaahuakbar.org is an independent non-profit Islamic educational and knowledge platform focused on publishing authentic, well-researched, and properly referenced Islamic content based upon the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The platform contains a growing archive of Islamic resources including articles, fataawah, audio lectures, videos, books, and structured educational material.
The goal is to create a calm, trustworthy, and highly readable digital experience that prioritises clarity, accessibility, and scholarly integrity over commercialisation or aggressive media presentation.
Current Live Platform:

Current Scope (Phase 1)
The current focus is the redesign and refinement of the public-facing frontend experience of the platform.
This is not intended to be approached as a traditional marketing website, but rather as a structured editorial and knowledge-based product experience.
Primary areas of focus include:
• Editorial and reading experience
• Homepage and content discovery
• Navigation and information hierarchy
• Media presentation (audio/video/books)
• Responsive frontend UX
• Scalable frontend design system
Future CMS/admin enhancements may be explored separately at a later stage.
Design Direction
The platform should feel:
• Clean and structured
• Calm and minimal
• Content-first and highly readable
• Trustworthy and scholarly
• Easy to navigate and scalable
• Editorially mature and distraction-free
The overall UX should prioritise:
• Readability
• Hierarchy
• Accessibility
• Clarity
• Usability
• structured discovery
Visual direction should avoid overly decorative or trend-driven design.

Core Content Areas
The platform includes:
• Articles and fataawah
• Audio/video lectures
• Islamic books and PDF resources
• Educational collections and topic series
• Modern disciplines
• Foundational Islamic sciences (Aqeedah, Fiqh, Hadith, etc.)
• Articles submissions (various authors)
The design should therefore support structured content organisation and long-term scalability.
Key UX Considerations
Editorial Experience

• Strong visual hierarchy
• Distraction-free reading experience
Navigation & Discovery

• Structured categorisation
• Clear content discovery

Design System Expectations
The project should be approached using a scalable component-based design system, including:

• Responsive UI patterns
• Developer-friendly Figma organisation
Ideal Designer / Studio
The ideal collaborator should have experience with:
• Editorial/content-heavy platforms
• Product UI/UX systems

A thoughtful and collaborative product mindset is preferred over purely trend-driven visual execution.
Deliverables

• Developer-friendly handoff structure
• Full ownership and transfer of final files
Important Notes

• The objective is to build a trustworthy and scalable Islamic knowledge platform with strong editorial foundations.
• A collaborative and thoughtful approach is preferred over rushed execution.
Core deliverables
• Wireframes and final UI designs covering home, category, and resource pages
• Front-end build with modern standards (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript or a framework you prefer)
• CMS installation and configuration, including custom post types or fields for educational material
• Basic analytics and SEO best-practice baked in
• Handoff documentation and a short walkthrough session
Acceptance criteria: pages load in under three seconds on a standard 4G connection, pass WCAG
2.1 AA checks, and render correctly in the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox.
If you’ve launched content-heavy learning or editorial sites before, especially those serving mixed audiences, I’d love to see examples and hear how you’d approach this build.
