St. Xavier Church

Overview:
Founded in 1845 St. Xavier Church is a pillar of the Cincinnati, OH religious community.  St. Xavier Church experienced tremendous growth and renewal as it leads in the revitalization of the downtown Cincinnati community.

Challenge:
As part of its effort to be a catalyst for renewal, St. Xavier Church tasked InteractOne with creating a fresh and invigorating approach to its website.

Solution:
We started by updating the design to feature a fresh new look that employs header images and video.   These custom media elements give website users an inside look at the Church via a rich media browsing experience.

Next we employed our copy-writing team to revamp and add to the website copy ensuring St. Xavier Church’s mission and vision are clearly articulated throughout the website. Rich content not only articulates the mission of St Xavier Church but also extremely improves their rankings in searches. It was important to create meaningful content that enriched the new site.

Built on the WordPress platform, stxchurch.org offers flexible content control from the admin with custom tools for rich media management and surveys/form administration. The added admin tools made it easier for St. Xavier Church staff to be able to easily update the site on their own.

Results:
By partnering with InteractOne, St. Xavier Church has been able to build a website that successfully bridges it’s strong history and values to today’s purpose and mission as well as a gateway for new members searching online.

St. Xavier Church

Since its founding in 1845 as Cincinnati’s first Catholic church, St. Francis Xavier Church has been infused with the Jesuit charism. Because Jesuits are primarily missionaries and academics, there simply aren’t an abundance of Jesuit parishes in the U.S. St. Xavier Church is thus a bit of a rarity.”  – stxchurch.org
