stpatrickscathedral.ie wins Best Website Award

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral announced today that it has won for Best Website in the sixth annual Dot IE Net Visionary Awards. In partnership with the Irish Internet Association and IE Domain Registry, the Net Visionary Awards recognise the best in digital Ireland across four areas of digital excellence: technology, entrepreneurship, digital marketing and innovation. The awards took place on 7 October at the RDS Concert Hall. Following a three–stage process of nominations from the public, judging by a panel of their peers and voting by the public, 16 winners were announced from among 77 shortlisted business people. In the category of Best Website, which was sponsored by Blacknight Solutions, stpatrickscathedral.ie competed against 5 other websites. 

The new Saint Patrick’s Cathedral website, www.stpatrickscathedral.ie, was launched on 1 June, 2016. The website was designed by the Friday Agency after a tendering process supported by the Fáilte Ireland Digital Business Development programme.  

Speaking about the award, Cathedral Administrator Gavan Woods said, “I would like to thank the IIA for this award. Many factors contributed to delivering our new website, not least the enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism of the team drawn from the Cathedral staff who worked so effectively with Friday to ensure something beyond our expectations was created.”
