What if the Vatican website (www.vatican.va) was built on WordPress?
With the election of Pope Leo XIV, a new era of communication and inclusion begins. But when visiting the official Vatican website, we saw a clear opportunity for digital modernization.
Despite fulfilling its institutional role, the site lacks in usability, accessibility and mobile experience — points that could be vastly improved with WordPress.
With WordPress, the Vatican could: • Publish more quickly, in multiple languages. • Make the website responsive and accessible, complying with modern web standards. • Bring believers closer with blogs, podcasts and integration with social networks. • Manage content with security and scalability, including for high volumes of global traffic.
Technology must serve the mission. And open platforms like WordPress can help centuries-old institutions speak to today’s world.
