This website's features, navigation, and design are based on user personas, which define the goals of website visitors.

Discover: For website visitors who are not very familiar with The Urantia Book. This is actually our “home” page, when you are not logged in. Since this page is intended for people new to The Urantia Book, our focus is to have only items here that are NOT for people who are experienced with The Urantia Book. We expect that if someone gets to this page who is already aware of The Urantia Book, they can do some work to find their way around. Whereas, with newer people, we want to see if we can get them to stay long enough to gain more interest, before exploring additional details. In other words, we want to decrease our bounce rate.

Connect With Others: For visitors who want to network with others.

Service Opportunities: Primarily for people who are interested in sharing The Urantia Book with others, although we expect other service opportunities to be posted here in the future.

Read/Research: For people who want to study The Urantia Book or download different versions of The Urantia Book and possibly explore other related resources.

Our Organization: For people who either want to learn more about us or who are members of the Urantia Book Fellowship.
