The Challenge
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington wanted a new website that would connect Vermont Catholics with religious services, events, information, and resources in an effective and engaging manner. This new website would also need to provide a seamless online user experience spanning the Diocese’s different programs, publications, and social media presences. In addition to serving individual Vermont Catholics, this new website would ideally act as a resource library for parish use as well. All in all, the final product needed to meet the needs of many different types of users.
Our Approach
We needed to build a website that organized a wide range of information available on multiple web properties into a single, easy-to-use site. We found that by unifying the existing templates, a clear visual association between the different web properties was made, and cross-linking content made it easier for users to access related materials by topic or interest. Tying the blog in with the email newsletter also created a more efficient and effective communication tool for the Diocese. Finally, the new interactive map more clearly shows where Catholic churches and schools can be found in and around Vermont.
