A website people come to for a service
The website of the Cathedral of Archangel Michael in Sochi: service schedule, parish life, prayer notes and candles online, an icon shop.
People come to the cathedral website with a specific question: when is the service, how to submit a prayer note, where to find the church. So the home page answers it right away — opening hours, address and Sunday services on the first screen, a schedule two weeks ahead, prayer notes, candles and donations online. Visually the website continues the cathedral's visual identity: white stone, dark “candle” domes and a gold line.
the schedule is always at hand
an assistant that knows the schedule
The website has Spravshchik, an assistant for questions about services and church life. You can pick a topic or ask in your own words: the AI answers from parish materials and the live schedule, and shows where on the site to submit a prayer note.
