Legion of Mary — Down & Connor
Complete website transformation — from outdated WordPress to a modern, fast, hand-coded site.
The Story
The Legion of Mary — Down & Connor is a Catholic lay organisation serving the Diocese of Down & Connor in Northern Ireland. Their existing WordPress website was slow, outdated, and difficult to maintain. The design felt stale and didn't reflect the dignity of their mission or the warmth of their community outreach work.
We migrated them away from WordPress entirely and built a custom static site from scratch — faster loading, more secure, beautifully designed, and much easier to update. The new site presents their mission, praesidia locations, prayer resources, and community news in a modern, accessible format.
