Armed with a new logo and a well-defined vision, St. Thérèse Little Flower Catholic Church decided that a custom-designed eCatholic website would help bring their parish brand to fruition. The soft hues and floral details speak not only to the namesake of the church, but also its detailed beauty drawing each visitor further in with each page.

Beginning with the homepage, a feature region video gives a glimpse into the vibrancy of this parish's life, mission, and ministries. Interior pages feature excellent photography with clear invitations for website visitors to participate. St. Thérèse's new website truly models the parish's desire to be "driven by the missionary zeal of St. Thérèse."

"eCatholic's platform is flexible and elegant, without requiring my staff to
have degrees in web design.

I would highly recommend eCatholic for other churches and schools. We
wanted more children in our school and more people worshiping God. Having an attractive and effective website is 'the tip of the spear' in these efforts."

- Fr. Michael Fye | Pastor, St. Ann Catholic Church & School

Our Lady of Ransom had a specific vision in mind when it came to building a new website: to provide a point of connection between the parish and “spiritual seekers” who have little or no relationship with the parish. Using that vision, the eCatholic Custom Design team got right to work creating a vibrant website that would provide an easy-to-navigate space for new and returning visitors alike.

A simple navigation bar, clear call-to-action buttons and a proclamation of the parish mission in multiple spots throughout the website help achieve their desired vision. While the website is helpful for site visitors, it also greatly serves the parish staff by utilizing a custom-built, secure intranet system, where parish staff and volunteers can complete internal parish operations.

Beginning a new school year with a fresh website made things even more riveting for St. Gerard Catholic School. Their new design showcases the vibrancy of their community and academics through large imagery and bright colors pulled from their own branding. A homepage welcomes guests with colorful features and moving parts such as custom buttons with hover-over effects, a large by-the-numbers grid, and rotating parent testimonials. The beautiful effects even continue onto interior pages where a custom school background image adorns each page, subtly fading in as users scroll down.

All the little details that together tell of the great things going on at St. Gerard as they welcomed students and families back to another new and exciting year.

Desiring to build a unified online presence for its three separate church buildings, 3 for the Trinity Catholic Community designed its homepage to still provide recognition of the individual parish entities. Now, the merged parishes have created an impressive online home that reinforces the community's mission: "Three parishes, one wonderful community." And one wonderful website.

"We greatly appreciate how easy eCatholic made the process, as well as how the design team was able to grasp the feel of our community and ultimately bring our goals to fruition."

- Amanda Zueck | Website Manager, 3 for the Trinity

St. Laurence Catholic School’s homepage utilizes various layouts to creatively display content and truly tell their story. Taking a unique focus on the current and perspective student’s journey, the design captures the most important information sought by families and features it among vibrant photography of students and school activities.

Site imagery accompanies all corners of content. Find it used as detailing positioned in section backdrops, cascading down the page to highlight powerful school facts, and enhancing mega menus within site navigation.

While looking for a new way for site visitors to easily request information, schedule a tour, or learn about the unique identity of the organization, Mary Queen of Angels Assisted Living Community made the leap and decided to upgrade from a free eCatholic website theme, to a custom design in order to help keep their mission and vision at the forefront of their communication efforts. 

As the only Catholic Assisted Living facility in Tennessee, they hoped to lead with their Christian identity, which is well-communicated on their homepage, and throughout the website. Combining the organization’s identity with details like a unique grid of images cascading down from the homepage feature region, all help highlight the distinct services and care offered by this beautiful organization.

A breath of fresh air can often describe the transformation of a site. From content crowded inside a small frame of dark hues and tiny photos, to a design fashioned in compelling colors with imagery stretching across the width of a screen. This was the transformation of The Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma. (ahhhh…) 

This custom design is not only inviting and visually pleasing, it is also incredibly purposeful. Its simplicity easily directs visitors to information about the foundation’s funds and programs with clear steps for contributing as a steward of the Church. A beautiful mission (and a clear purpose) framed in a simple and elegant design is truly refreshing.

Little details that are often overlooked can make a big difference when it comes to communicating brand on your website. In order to build a great brand experience, the Tekakwitha Conference implemented an invigorating color scheme, small and large watermarks featured in the dropdown menus and homepage, and a distinct square pattern reminiscent of a Native American loom, paying homage to St. Kateri Tekakwitha's special heritage.

By utilizing these details throughout the distinct horizontal content regions on their homepage, information is communicated well and visitors can easily find information about becoming a member, participating in upcoming events, and supporting the mission of the Tekakwitha Conference. 

The custom design process allowed WWU Catholic Newman Center to bring to life a fully branded website that captivates and engages site visitors at a whole new level. The campus ministry offers experiences to university students through faith-forming and school spirited activities. Using inspiration from their mission and current branding, eCatholic designers created a refreshing site to help meet their goals.

Staggered horizontal content on the homepage draws visitors through every detail, while gradient fades and hover effects help featured material to stand out. Large buttons, overlapping content, and a full-width feature region are all features that allow bold imagery to showcase their vibrant campus ministry.

Hoping to create a new website that would reflect not only the professional culture of the company, but its ubiquitous representation in the United States and Canada, Legatus found that a Custom Design Package from eCatholic would be a perfect fit for all they were trying to achieve.

With more than 95 chapters in North America, a distinct feature of their design was the inclusion of eCatholic’s Ministry Finder, which allows those interested in joining Legatus the ability to find their local Chapter and get connected to other Catholic professionals immediately.

The Centre International St. Joseph's new custom design site has all their content in FIVE different languages! Beautiful images, fun colors, and clever ways to easily direct users through their content make this international website a truly beautiful and creative outreach tool.

"I couldn't be happier with the site. eCatholic made this project easy and affordable. Thanks eCatholic. You came to my rescue when I didn't know where to turn for hosting, designing, and maintaining our site!"

- Olga Bonfiglio | Website Administrator
