Minster Website wins award!
Published Wednesday 12th September 2007 by Alix Peacock
The York Minster website was named last night as Best Tourism Website 2007 at the Yorkshire Tourist Board White Rose Awards. The Minster’s new website, developed by staff at York Minster and the York-based Design and Communications Agency Stone Soup, now caters for the Minster’s wide audiences, with information on Worship, Education, Visiting the Minster and Being involved at the Minster.
At the awards dinner last night, the Minster website was praised for its clean design and interactive features such as the online Minster Shop, prayer box and virtual tour. These features have helped to communicate with those interested in the Minster, both near and far – with users from across the globe using the site.
The Very Rev’d Keith Jones, Dean of York said: “York Minster is for many people their first glimpse of Yorkshire. It’s great that the York Minster website is a good gateway for them”.
Tom Sharp, Creative Director at Stone Soup said: "The York Minster website has a wide variety of audiences so it was a fantastic challenge to create a site that would communicate with them all. We work with clients across the world but we’re especially proud to be the partner of such a key institution in our home city."
