Opa! Greece, in Babylon.
Every June, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in West Babylon throws a four-day festival: gyros, loukoumades, a full taverna, live music, Greek dancing and a Grand Raffle. We rebuilt their site so festival-goers find the food, the hours and the raffle in seconds, and the parish volunteers keep it all current themselves.

The countdown
First weekend every June.
The home page counts down to opening night and lists every day’s hours. Once the festival is over, it shows a thank-you to the volunteers and next year’s dates.

The Grand Raffle
The raffle, one tap away.
The raffle supports the parish, so the Buy Raffle Ticket button is easy to find and goes straight to the secure payment page. The old site counted those clicks in Google Analytics; we rebuilt the same event, so the parish can still see how many people head to buy a ticket.
Grand prize
$25,000
$100 per ticket, drawn on the festival’s last day.
