Yesterday we made some changes to the PCC denominational website at Presbyterian.ca. Most obvious is a completely new home page layout that we hope will make it easier for our visitors to find the information & resources they are looking for – and discover new things that they don’t even realize exist! We also made some significant changes to the navigation structure for similar reasons.
The feature I’m most excited about is something we’re calling SnapShots. This relatively large area in the upper-right quadrant of the home page is intended to offer glimpses into the denomination at the congregational and agency program level – the grassroots. Photos in the SnapShots area are randomly selected from a collection of photos of church buildings, congregations and Presbyterians in action. If you have a photo that you think would be appropriate for SnapShots, please send it along to me at pccweb@presbyterian.ca.
As pleased as I am with this makeover, I can’t take much of the credit. Most of the work was done long before I arrived at 50 Wynford. The Life & Mission Agency’s internal web strategy team deserve the bulk of the credit for guiding this process over the course of the summer. My thanks to Alex MacDonald, Karen Plater, Anne Phillips, Matt Donnelly and Peter Johnson for their work and continued support.
The website refresh, and SnapShots in particular, are representative of a very real desire for the communications activities of the PCC to encompass the entire denomination. Presbyterian.ca is the website for the denomination, not just 50 Wynford, and I am committed to extending that philosophy to the broader communications strategy for the Life & Mission Agency.
I welcome and encourage your feedback on the changes to Presbyterian.ca – and there are more changes to come over the next several weeks… stay tuned!
