Charley Purves, Cathedral Manager, who led the project, said: “After feedback from visitors and parishioners the decision was made to look at redesigning the website, acknowledging that this is a vital resource in today’s marketing tools. The Diocese of East Anglia received a generous anonymous donation which enabled the work to begin.”
The new site has been designed and developed by Suffolk-based Integrated Ideas Agency, who visited the Cathedral at the end of 2023 to see the space for themselves.
“Their team were awed by the impressive Victorian Gothic architecture and inspired by the stained-glass windows which adorn the Cathedral,” said Charley. “They have used these elements in the design of the new site and worked closely with myself to ensure the site would fit the Cathedral’s ethos.
“This project has been discussed by so many stakeholders for a few years now, so it is really exciting to see it become a reality. We have worked hard over the last year to ensure that the content and images showcase the Cathedral, as well as providing the information the website visitors are looking for, in a clear and concise way. The website is much more appealing and interactive than before and the feedback we’ve had so far shows what progress we’ve made.”
