Three tools for the parish webmaster

Site Check is live. The rest follows.

Most parish websites are maintained by one volunteer, one staff member, or one overworked priest. These tools are built for them — not for agency clients with retainers.

Why this topic

The website is often the first door.

For a family looking for a parish, a visitor planning Mass attendance, or a couple inquiring about marriage prep, the website is the first contact with the parish. Most parish sites in the diocese were built years ago and have not been touched since. We're not going to lecture about that — we're going to help fix it.
