Another beautiful Catholic website design for your church, school,
or diocese

Keeping your Catholic website design up-to-date is simple with eCatholic's new, attractive free theme Turin.

A flexible design with distinct fonts and the powerful Sections Layouts feature, Turin is the perfect choice for Catholic organizations wanting to stand out online. Here are a few reasons why you should try Turin today.

3 reasons to try Turin as your website design

1

Turin is compatible with Sections Layouts.

When you use Turin for your site's design, you'll have access to create beautiful horizontal content regions (we call them "sections") that help you share your message clearly and effectively.

When you use Turin with a Sections Layout, you will:

• Get more control over your site's design (especially on mobile).
• Create digestible chunks of information to reflect your organization's priorities.
• Modernize your design by switching from a column-based (standard) layout.

You can create a truly unique design with Turin's flexible styling options.

Turin is our most versatile theme yet. As you create content sections, just select one of the pre-configured styling options to arrange your content, add beautiful background colors, and plug in elegant background images. 

For example, one styling option allows you to shift content up or down to create a cohesive (and visually interesting) design. Here's how it can look: 

Turin design example: Side-by-Side section with video module shifted up

Don't have enough high-quality images? Another styling option allows you to plug in an elegant, grey-scale crucifix image as a section background (no image upload required):

The homepage feature region is elegant and versatile.

Your homepage feature region is perhaps the most important area of your website. This is the "above-the-fold" region where you establish a first impression. Add a beautiful image with a compelling headline to help visitors understand your organization, your mission, and their part in it.

Not everyone loves the extra-large 16:9 feature region format – like the one offered in our Lorenzo theme. (Different strokes for different folks.) ;) Turin, with it's narrower feature region format, is perfect for those who prefer a feature region that doesn't dominate so much homepage real estate.
 

Turin design example: Homepage feature region with title, caption and call-to-action button (navy color palette)

Designed to avoid frustrating character limitations that cut off your headline, Turin's feature region includes plenty of room for a headline, caption, and call-to-action button (see example above).
