St. Ann's Parish

St. Ann Parish upgraded from their outdated free theme to the newly released free theme Moser.

Upgrading their homepage was the change that helped set St. Ann’s Parish apart from other parish websites. Before, their site was top-heavy, and too many pieces of information were competing for site visitors' attention. A Sections Layout helped St. Ann declutter their homepage, which now highlights the most important information about the parish.

A beautiful new feature region allows them to share a rotating highlight reel of the latest parish activities and events. Below the feature region, more customized sections include some enticing call-to-action buttons, as well as a new tabs section, where visitors can easily find parish Sacrament times.

St. Bernard's Parish

St. Bernard Parish left behind a theme designed over 10 years ago for the Lorenzo free theme.

St. Bernard had hopes of revamping their website in order to put an emphasis on their parish evangelization efforts. The parish staff was able to express their needs to the Homepage Makeover team who got to work right away.

Now, St. Bernard’s homepage is full of call-to-action buttons that prompt their site visitors to connect with the parish through an upcoming worship event, jump into one of their many pastoral ministries, or connect with one of their dedicated parish leaders by phone or email.

Our Lady of Consolata Parish

Our Lady of Consolata made the switch to the newest free theme from eCatholic: Sinai.

Following a short webinar with the eCatholic team, it was clear that Our Lady of Consolata wished to create a website homepage that included easy-to-navigate buttons that displayed information about their parish that could be found as quickly as possible.

After cleaning up their navigation bar, an additional section of quick-link buttons was added below the feature region, providing easy access to the parish’s most sought-after items: the parish calendar, the bulletin, and how to contact someone in the office! In the end, a Homepage Makeover helped this parish provide a beautiful layout of important parish details, all at a single glance on their new homepage!
