We're always working hard to make your eCatholic experience easier, faster, and more beautiful. Here's an update on our latest features and product improvements!

New Design Studio interface

Changing your site's theme, color palette, and homepage layout is easier than ever! With the improved Design Studio, you can now:

1

Preview your site on multiple screens

Use the desktop, tablet, and mobile Device Display icons at the bottom of the new Design Studio to easily preview your site on all screen sizes (illustrated below).

2

Pinpoint the right design

Know you want the color blue in your design? And a wide homepage slideshow? Quickly filter themes based on your preferences to find the right design more quickly.

In addition, the Design Studio now includes new, larger theme thumbnails. The thumbnails auto-update as you click to browse different themes and color palettes (illustrated below). This gives you a more straightforward and accurate sense of each design's features.
