When The Revd Canon Terry Wong contacted Hop Studios, he had a functional but out-dated website in need of both modernization and a more streamlined updating process. In fact, the site was a flat file Dreamweaver site that couldn’t keep pace with the cathedral’s busy schedule of events, services and news. It was time for an overhaul, and some contemporary website features like mobile support and a snazzy design.

We began with a thorough design process, mocking up the many content features and then turning them into responsive code that not only looks good on desktop, phones, and tablets, but also shifts functionality to best suit each device. This was our first project using ExpressionEngine 3, and the results have created an impressive improvement in the time and effort necessary to update the site.

Their new website is packed with features; there’s an event calendar, weekly audio sermons (also available as a podcast), a weekly column by The Revd Canon Terry Wong called Vicar Writes, and the Courier Online, a blog featuring writings by clergy and congregation.

The final result is a site we all feel proud of, with the flexibility to feature any piece of content on the home page, and with enough complexity to allow staff to create small interior verticals from groups of pages, as with this tour of the cathedral’s history and facilities.

It’s always a thrill to turn a creaky old-timer into a nimble and effective online presence!
