The Brief

Mansfield Anglican Parish serves the Shire of Mansfield in northeast Victoria. It has two churches - St John’s Mansfield and St Peter’s Jamieson.

The Parish had a legacy website, for which One Stop Sites took over the hosting and maintenance. Training in its use was also provided to the responsible parish councillor.

The website wasbeing used to provide information about church locations and services to visitors as well as advertising parish events.

Recognising that there was an opportunity to replace the website with a more modern and less formal design, One Stop Sites developed a replacement as a donation to the church.

The Solution

Whilst maintaining the legacy website, Martin had discussions with the Parish Priests and Church Councillors about a possible website replacement.

He decided to build a new website and offer it to the church as a replacement. Whilst the content remains largely as it was, the way it is now presented is quite different.

Astra Pro theme was used and customised using a softer colour palette. Given that a substantial proportion of parishioners uses mobile phones to access the website, close attention was paid to responsive design to ensure a mobile-friendly layout.

Photographic content was sourced from the parish Facebook page. Where appropriate photos were not available, stock photos were used.

The website has received positive feedback from parishioners. It is hosted, supported and maintained by One Stop Sites. This includes hosting on a Litespeed server, regular backups and theme and plugin updates.
