We've Got a New Website!

12/8/2020

 

Written by: Anthony Riesen

Welcome to the brand new website for St. John's Episcopal Church!

The original website served us well over the years, but overall layout has become a little bit dated and has proved to be a little challenging to use.  Plus, with COVID-19 requiring worship from home, our technology needs for the website have increased.  So, in the late summer of 2020 the Vestry tasked me with a redesign of the website, making it a bit more aesthetically appealing and bringing in some really interesting new features!

New and Improved Website

But, before I get too far ahead of myself, every new website will have typos, weird fonts, or other things that the designer doesn't notice.  I would like to invite all of you to keep your eyes out for such errors and please let me know using the form to the right so that I can correct them right away!

New Features

The new St. John's Website includes some really cool new features to which I would like to draw your attention:

  • We've added several new pages that help tell the story of our church such as the History and Symbolism of the Stained Glass.
  • You can now watch the livestream services directly from the website so you will always know where to find it.
  • You can use the menu at the top of the page, or the links in the footer, to easily find your way around the site.  And a search feature in the upper right if you are still having troubles.

    Submit Typo Notification

    Your name helps me keep track of those who have helped keep the site error free!
    By including your email, I will be able to reach out to you if I have questions about how the site should be corrected.
    Please include the page you found the error on, where the error is located on the page, and how the error should be corrected.
Submit
And, finally, we've added the News section to the website, which you have already found.  The point of this page is to serve as one location for news that affects the community: announcements of upcoming events and stories that come out of them, vestry minutes posted to keep the community informed about the decisions being made, a digital copy of the newsletter you will always know how to find, and even member spotlights where you can share stories and what St. John's means to you.  There are a lot of opportunities here and I look forward to seeing what the church does with it.
So, take some time to explore the site, and please let me know what you think and where it can be improved.  The website is up and running, but there will always be ways we can improve it.
