## St Thomas' Church Keresley

Site for St Thomas’ Church with parish news, historic archives, and searchable burial record access.

### Phase 1 - April 2014

In April 2014, the Vicar at St Thomas’ Church Keresley asked me to redesign their website using an easily updateable package. The website took 6 months to complete and was finally completed in November 2014. Subsequent redesigns of the website were completed in 2019, 2023 with ongoing tweaks and modifications starting in 2025.
The main website framework is the latest version of WordPress with a modified theme.

### Phase 2 - October 2016

Phase 2 included the digitisation and upload of the parish archives dating back from the mid 1800s and utilises an in-house magazine reading platform for all of its publications.
The archives section of the website also includes burial registers up to the mid-1990s and allows visitors to search available registers.

### Phase 3 - September 2021

Following the coronavirus lockdown in 2020, the church signed up to the Church of England’s Digital Charter which includes upgrades to their online presence including plans to introduce guest internet access within centres, online access to servcies (currently through recorded services but live streamed services are planned for the near future), upgrades to internet connectivity within centres (including a mesh wifi system in each centre) and device upgrades in preperation for Windows 10 end of life date in October 2025.
Device upgrades were completed Easter 2025 while online presence upgrades are ongoing.

### Phase 4 - 2025 and Beyond

Codenamed Sunset, this phase marks the transition of the website back to the church team, empowering them to manage and update content independently with minimal external support. As part of this handover, the site is undergoing a full redesign and structural overhaul, moving away from WordPress to a lighter, more maintainable platform built in Bootstrap Studio. This change prioritises simplicity, performance, and long-term sustainability, ensuring the church can confidently maintain its online presence without relying on ongoing developer input.
