Carryduff & Saintfield Pastoral Area
A welcoming digital hub for Drumbo and Carryduff, Saintfield and Carrickmannon parish communities.
The opportunity
Making essential information easier to find across three active church communities.
Carryduff & Saintfield Pastoral Area serves the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Carryduff, Mary Mother of the Church in Saintfield and St Joseph’s Church in Carrickmannon.
The website has to serve regular parishioners, families arranging sacraments, people new to the area and those joining worship remotely. Mass times, bulletins, events, contact details and live streams all need to remain current and easy to reach.
The opportunity was to organise substantial parish information into a welcoming, accessible digital hub that staff could manage day to day.
Strategy
Prioritise the information people need now while providing depth when they need guidance.
Frequent tasks first
Give Mass times, bulletins, live streams, events and donations prominent routes from the homepage.
Support life events
Structure sacrament information and contacts so families can understand requirements and take the next step.
