Aloysius & Benedict - Shepherdsville, KY

Website Launched!

Hello, all -


Congratulations, your new website is now live and visible to the world!

I'm still not seeing the live site. Why is that?
The industry standard for launch changes to propagate is 0-72 hours.  However, it's been my experience that you can usually see these changes within 2 hours. You will know it was successful when visiting https://sta-stb.org/ brings up the site seen here: https://alandben.diocesanweb.org/

If you can see the website on a computer or mobile device not using your parish's internet, it may be that your parish's internal server needs to be reset or may have the IP address of your previous host manually set up. If this is the case, you will have to talk to your IT person, as this is not something Diocesan can help with. 

New Login Page
Although you will now go to https://sta-stb.org/shepherdsville/ to log in, your login credentials are still the same. 

Alternately, login pages to each separate site (should you need them) are:
https://sta-stb.org/stbenedict/shepherdsville
https://sta-stb.org/staloysius/shepherdsville

Statistics
Since your website is now live, we have also added the ability to track your website's statistics.
Feel free to view the statistics by clicking Statistics. This will give you access to see what devices are being used, how people are finding your website and your top pages/link.


Support Moving Forward
As you may have noticed, on your WordPress Dashboard, there is a Diocesan Web Support box with links to help articles that we have written especially for our websites, complete with step-by-step instructions and images. This should help with most of the questions that you may have.

You do also have another 2 weeks from your launch date to call and ask us any questions for free. After those 2 weeks, the paid support will go into effect. Paid support is $70/hr (prorated) and is billed monthly to the parish with each support items (date, amount of time, notes) itemized out.

If you have any issues or questions in the future, please email us at webdepartment@diocesan.com or call us at 877-923-0777.

Canceling Previous Website Host
Launching your website DOES NOT cancel your previous web hosting service. Diocesan does, however, suggest that you do not cancel your previous web hosting service until at least 2 business days after your new website launches.

NOTE: Some website hosting companies may package website hosting and domain hosting/renewal together. If this is true for you, you may want to consider transferring your domain over to Diocesan.  You may begin this process by emailing us at webdepartment@diocesan.com or calling 877-923-0777.

Other Resources
Just in case we didn’t mention it in the training, here are some resources for free, stock images to use throughout your website:


Please let me know if you have any questions and, again, congratulations!

WONDERFUL!!!
FROM THE CLIENT Janice Johns, Aloysius & Benedict - Sheperdsville, KY Staff
Mary,

Thank you for answering my questions this morning.
We would like to make a change to each landing page, so they match and have the same information available to both parishes.

St. Aloysius – please add Sacraments, Ministries and Prayer Request Form to the 6 already there.
St. Benedict – please add Our Staff, Our Bulletin and Calendar to the 6 already there.

If possible, please place them in the same order, so we are consistent on each church. (territorial issues☺)

Please call or email me with any questions.

TO THE CLIENT Mary Goeldel, Diocesan
Janice,
The St. Benedict site doesn't seem to have a calendar set up yet - do they share a calendar with St. Aloysius, or do they have a Google calendar ID I can use for it?

Hey Mary,

We share the calendar. I was actually going to try to figure out how to upload the revised October (attached).
If you can upload for both, that would be great!!

Janice
TO THE CLIENT Mary Goeldel, Diocesan
All set!  Buttons are added and both sites now have them in the same order - let me know if that looks good to you.

I swapped out the calendar on St. Aloysius with the revision, and added a calendar page for St. Benedict.  When you have a few minutes, let me know - I can walk you through how to swap out the calendars each month!

Thank you!
