Transfiguration Cathedral

A cathedral’s life at cathedral scale — many services, ministries and visitors — gathered into a site that still feels like one household.

The calling

What this community needed from its presence online

A cathedral is a small city. Its calendar is full, its ministries are many, and its doors open to parishioners, pilgrims and the simply curious on the same morning.

The work was to give all of that room to breathe: to let the scale of the place be felt, without letting anyone get lost in it.

What we solved

  1. Scale without clutter

    A full liturgical calendar and many ministries, arranged in a calm order so each person can find the one thing they came for.

  2. A clear way in for visitors

    Someone who has never been inside an Orthodox church is met with a gentle, specific welcome — not a wall of parish business.

  3. A visual language worthy of the building

    Type, color and imagery chosen to carry the dignity of a cathedral, while staying quick to load and easy to read.

  4. Built for the people who keep it

    Clergy, staff and volunteers can keep schedules and announcements current without needing a web developer on call.
