Central Jamme Masjid Launches New Website and Updated Brand Logo

Reading, UK, 21 October 2024 — Central Jamme Masjid is delighted to announce the launch of its new website, designed to improve user experience and accessibility for its members. In addition to the new website, Central Jamme Masjid has also unveiled a modernised brand logo. Both the updated logo and the website feature colours that complement the masjid’s carpet, creating a cohesive and familiar visual identity.

The website, built using Next.js and hosted on Vercel, offers a range of features aimed at serving the Reading Muslim community. This redesign, along with the refreshed logo, reflects the masjid's ongoing commitment to keeping pace with modern design trends while maintaining a deep connection with its heritage.

The new website and branding come as the result of collaborative efforts within the software development and design community. Western Pixel adapted the website template for Central Jamme Masjid’s specific needs, forked from Reading Muslim, with ongoing development planned to ensure the site continues to meet the evolving demands of the community. Special thanks go to Tuan Huynh for his contributions to Timothy Lin’s lightweight Next.js & Tailwind boilerplate.

Key features of the website include:

Live Prayer Times: Up-to-date prayer times directly accessible from the website, helping members stay on track with their daily prayers.
Monthly Timetables: An overview of monthly prayer times in an easy-to-access format.
iCal Calendars: The ability to export iCal calendars for athan (call to prayer) times, with jama'at (congregational prayer) times soon to follow, allowing members to sync prayer times with their personal calendars.

Central Jamme Masjid invites all community members to explore the new website and branding, and to provide feedback for future improvements. Feedback can be sent via email to [email protected] or by speaking to Committee Members at the masjid.

"We are excited to reveal our new website and modernised logo, both of which reflect our ongoing efforts to serve the Reading Muslim community," said a spokesperson for Western Pixel, Central Jamme Masjid’s technology partner and sponsor. "We encourage our members to engage with the new site, use its features, and share their thoughts to help us enhance their experience further."
