St. Francis Solanus Parish & School – Quincy, IL
"We are grateful for all of your work. You make life easy to be online. Thank you for the work that you do!"
- Fr. Arisman, Pastor, St. Francis Solanus
I’ve been leading all aspects of web and marketing for St. Francis Solanus Parish & School as a volunteer since 2011.
Over the years, I’ve handled several full website redesigns, managed hosting and ongoing maintenance, and kept the site updated weekly with new events, parish communications, and school content.
Legacy Website
The current legacy site, stfrancissolanus.com, dates back to 2019 and is now being fully redeveloped. We've had many compliments over the years for the ease of access to parish and school information and ease of completing online parishioner registration.
"The St. Francis website was the strongest website of all of the ones that we reviewed as part of this project looking at the Catholic schools of southern Illinois. We would encourage the school to pass on the name of your website design company to the other schools because this company did a very good job on your website."

New Parish & School Website
A preview of the new website version can be seen here: newsfs.focusweb.dev. The homepage is active as an early mockup, though not yet mobile responsive. The new design focuses on a cleaner layout, improved navigation, and better integration between parish and school content.
School Tour Landing Page
In addition to the main site, I created a dedicated set of enrollment and marketing landing pages at https://tour.stfrancissolanus.com. These were built to support social media advertising and provide a simple, direct way for families to learn about the school and schedule a visit.
The campaign brought in several new families last year, many who had no prior parish connection and discovered St. Francis entirely through the ads and landing pages. It’s been one of our most successful outreach efforts so far.
