Client name: Peter Fenner
Dr. Peter Fenner is a renowned writer, author, spiritual coach, and trainer specialising in deep Buddhist philosophy. As the founder of Timeless Wisdom, he runs workshops, online courses, and retreats worldwide, with a particular following in the US. His work spans nondual awareness teachings, authored books, and academic research in the philosophical psychology of the Madhyamika school of Mahayana Buddhism.
When Dr. Fenner approached Planet Media, he wanted a website that captured his personal brand, showcased his lifetime of work, and presented a unified digital home for his global audience. His previous websites were fragmented, outdated, and lacked organisation, which made it difficult for visitors to navigate his offerings or understand his expertise. The challenge was to build a modern, well-structured platform that reflected his authority while remaining engaging and accessible to students, readers, and spiritual seekers worldwide.
We worked closely with Peter throughout each step of our design and development processes. We worked along with him to gather his requirements and understand his aims and target audience, predominantly students from the US. With a number of iterations, we worked with Peter to understand and implement his style preferences for the website design and attend to any concerns. Throughout the project, we had open communication while offering regular project management updates. We conducted meetings flexibly, usually at Peter's office. Our strategy focused on creating a cohesive, visually engaging, and user-friendly platform that could accommodate current content while preparing for future course promotions and digital offerings. Every aspect of the project was designed to balance clarity, aesthetics, and accessibility for a global audience.
Experience Design
We crafted a seamless user experience that guided visitors intuitively through Dr. Fenner’s content. The website structure was reorganised to highlight his programmes, books, and resources while making navigation effortless. Subtle interactive elements, such as shrinking cover images and scrolling visuals, were added to maintain user engagement and provide a polished, cohesive brand experience.
Web Design
The website design reflected Dr. Fenner’s personal brand with a modern, elegant style. Bright abstract imagery was balanced with text and multimedia content to create an inviting yet professional atmosphere. The homepage and programme pages were visually engaging, while typography, layout, and colour choices enhanced readability and ensured that Dr. Fenner’s expertise was immediately apparent to visitors.
Custom Web Development
Built on WordPress, the website was developed for scalability, responsiveness, and accessibility across all devices. We integrated multimedia content, including video and audio, to support Dr. Fenner’s courses and retreats. Functional features, such as a clean backend for content updates, ensured that Dr. Fenner could manage his platform independently while maintaining a consistent and professional presentation.
Website Branding and UI Design
We developed a modern, visually cohesive design that reflected Dr. Fenner’s personal brand and international audience. Every page was designed to highlight his books, programmes, and teachings, combining clean layouts with engaging visuals. Colour schemes, typography, and interactive elements were carefully chosen to communicate professionalism while remaining approachable and aligned with his spiritual philosophy.
UX Design
The website structure and navigation were optimised to provide a seamless user experience. Content was reorganised to make key information easily accessible, and subtle interactive features, such as mouseover effects and scrolling visuals, were incorporated to enhance engagement. Multimedia content, including videos and audio, was integrated thoughtfully to support learning and retention for his global audience.
Project Handover
After launch, we provided comprehensive backend training, documentation, and ongoing support. Two months of monitoring and bug fixing ensured smooth operation, while features like URL redirection and 24/7 monitoring maintained the site’s performance. This enabled Dr. Fenner to independently manage and update his website with confidence.
The new website successfully unified Dr. Fenner’s digital presence, providing a single destination for his global audience to explore his work, sign up for courses, and engage with his teachings. With improved structure, usability, and interactivity, the platform has increased engagement and positioned Dr. Fenner’s personal brand for continued growth.
