The Reformed Presbyterian Church of Canada wanted a website for people looking into the denomination. Someone arriving for the first time needed to understand what the church believes, learn something of its history and find a congregation nearby. The client wanted those answers easy to reach, with straightforward navigation, stronger imagery and less competing information on the homepage.
The planned content was broad: congregations, ministries, resources, news and contact details all needed a place. The church finder would help visitors locate one of its congregations.
Cloud Ten Creative developed the new logo and designed the website. My part was to build their design into a working site, including the church finder and the content areas the RPCC would use to explain its work.
The brief
The solution
I built the website in WordPress from Cloud Ten Creative’s designs, carrying their new identity through the responsive page layouts and navigation. A central feature is Find a Church: a map plots congregations, with a corresponding list of addresses, contact details and links to church websites. Visitors can see where the churches are and follow up with a congregation directly.
I also built content pages covering the RPCC’s beliefs and history, with routes into its ministries and resources. The live site includes downloadable issues of Sea to Sea magazine, plus a monthly newsletter page with links to sign up and read earlier editions. These pages give visitors somewhere to start, from understanding the denomination to contacting a local church.
