It has taken a while but the new SAC website is now ready. We focus on what SAC needs and those we are trying to reach. We are immensely grateful to the dedication and professionalism of the team at Hop Studios (based in Vancouver, Canada - See here for their insights into the design of this new website). Enough has been done to release it for public view and use. As any good website should be,it is still very much a work in progress. Here are some features:
Reaching Visitors: These days, potential visitors will visit the website first before they come into our premises. It needs to carry as much helpful info as possible to inform and welcome visitors.
Events publicity: There are many events going on in SAC and they will receive a level of publicity suited to the nature of the event. A combination of website and social media will be used.
Vision sharing and Community integration: Information about ministries, events and people will all add to strengthening our SAC community. The weekly Vicar Writes is also posted online here. The 2016 AGM report can be viewed. On-going projects like the Jurong Building project will be given some focus.
Ministry News: What is going on in PKH? Or the latest Medical trip to Batam? What are the latest SMF activities? How is the soon-to-be eleven:30 Service progressing? What is the vision behind the new cafe and how will it benefit you? The website can be a channel for news like these.
Courier Online: You can catch some latest articles written by SAC staff and members. We have also published some past Courier articles. There are uplifting testimonies of God@work and helpful teaching articles.
History, heritage and culture: This is potentially a huge section which is still very much a work in progress. We continue to work with those who are interested in researching our history to ensure that the public and future generations have accurate access to the past. Even what is happening today will be tomorrow’s history. The website can be a growing repository of data and resources which can benefit future generations.
Administration: There should be easy access to admin resources, including baptism sign- up forms, briefing for those wanting to get married in the Cathedral, info on financial giving, membership needs, how one may serve and so on.
There is still much work needed on the site. On your part, use it regularly and participate. Get onto our mailing list (cathedral.org.sg/page/subscribe) or sign up on our Facebook page (@standrewcath). Give us feedback (info@cathedral.org.sg) and suggestions on ways to improve it. A successful site is not just about the design but how the community owns and uses it.
May the Lord use this site for the purpose of His glory and Gospel.
