Małolipnicanie - a website for a children's folk ensemble from Orawa
How we built a cultural association website from scratch, carrying the spirit of highland traditions and helping the group welcome new members.
CEO 234.studio • December 2025
Małolipnicanie is a children's Orawa folk ensemble from Lipnica Mała. Around 60 children aged 4-14 learn the region's music, dances and customs with experienced instructors. We built its first website to give this remarkable community an online presence worthy of its mission.

About the project
- A children's regional ensemble active since 2012
- Around 60 children aged 4-14 working with experienced instructors
- Singing, violin, bass and Orawa dialect lessons
- Authentic stage programmes from Orawa highlander culture
- Projects funded through the KPO for Culture programme
No independent online presence
The ensemble had been active for over a decade without its own website. Parents relied on Facebook and the media had no authoritative page to link to.
Capturing a living tradition
Orawa culture can look flat when reduced to decoration. A sensitive design and genuine photography were needed to carry the spirit of the group.
Recruiting children
Parents needed a warm, credible introduction to the classes and a simple form for registering their child.
What we did
Architecture and UX
News, galleries, playable music, Orawa games and a contact form create an archive that can keep growing with the ensemble.
A design with character
Genuine photographs of children in folk dress and the mountain landscape lead a bright visual system. Natural colours, full-screen imagery and warm typography keep the mood close to the group.
Angular and SSR development
The Angular website uses Server-Side Rendering for quick loading and complete Google indexation. Smooth motion, a 96+ Lighthouse result and reliable mobile layouts support everyday use.
Music and gallery sections
An embedded player features the ensemble's recordings, with a full gallery of performances and photo sessions. Parents and partners can hear and see the group before making contact.
SEO and membership form
Local and cultural search phrases, cultural organisation structured data and a recruitment form with contact topics help new families find and join the ensemble.
"An association website is where parents decide if the group feels right for their child. It needs warmth, authenticity and speed."

These figures describe this specific project. Results for another business will depend on its starting point, market and available data.
The website was created through the project "Orawa games with Małolipnicanie - the heritage of children's traditions in a modern form", funded by Poland's National Recovery Plan. Its purpose is to protect and revive authentic forms of Orawa children's culture.
Summary
Małolipnicanie received a website that carries its passion and purpose. Genuine folk-costume photography, playable recordings, a performance gallery and a simple membership form are quick to use and easy to find in Google.
