GOCOM Galway Radio – Multilingual Community Radio Website

The Challenge

Launched in January 2021, GOCOM Galway Radio is Ireland’s first ethnic minority interest and multilingual community radio station.

Their mission is to:

• Foster integration of ethnic minorities and marginalised communities.
• Celebrate cultural heritage and artistic expression.
• Provide a multilingual platform to amplify diverse voices.

To support this vision, they needed a modern, professional online presence that could:

• Communicate their mission.
• Provide real-time access to broadcasts.
• Create a welcoming digital space for community engagement.

Our Approach

At OWI (Operating With Integrity), we partnered with GOCOM Galway Radio to design and develop a new website from scratch.

Our focus was on:

• Clean, stylish design – A platform that reflects cultural vibrancy and inclusivity.
• User-friendly experience – Easy navigation for both listeners and community members.
• Live Radio Player integration – Seamless access to real-time broadcasts.
• Engagement tools – Content areas to share programmes, news, and updates.

What We Delivered

• Website Design & Development – Professional, accessible WordPress site.
• Responsive Website Design – Optimised for mobile, tablet, and desktop listening.
• Live Radio Player Integration – Core feature allowing users to tune in instantly.
• Rebrand & Visual Identity – A refreshed look that aligns with inclusivity and diversity.
• Community Engagement Features – Easy access to programmes, cultural content, and initiatives.
• SEO Foundations – Built for visibility in Irish community radio searches.

The Outcome

The new GOCOM Galway Radio website is now a dynamic hub that connects listeners with diverse content and provides a platform for representation and inclusion in Irish media.

By combining sleek design with practical features like the Live Radio Player, the site amplifies GOCOM’s mission to celebrate culture and unite communities through radio.

This project shows how OWI helps media and community organisations build engaging digital platforms that make missions more accessible and impactful.
