St. John’s Kirk (Legacy)

Aim

Create a contemporary, functional website that highlights every element of the Kirk's wide appeal.  The site should communicate the Kirk's history and architecture - and hence the tourism aspect of the church - while keeping worship and Christian belief at the centre.

What We Did

Through discussions with St. Johns Kirk's web administration team, we opted for a complete overhaul of the Kirk's existing site and replaced it with a new bespoke design - built from the ground up - that could carry up-to-date information, from both a congregational and visitor perspective.

An intuitive automatic calendaring system running in ExpressionEngine was added for easy management of worship, music and community events; their weekly programme is a major element of the site.

The Outcome

An exciting and inviting design that captures the church imagery beautifully; while making all information and resources accessible to site visitors from the first click.

Events are grouped and arranged in a variety of formats across the site, whilst retaining an easy-to-use navigational structure throughout. The congregation are invited to their own private members' area; where the Kirk diary and rotas are made available with the same slick appearance and accessibility.
