The website addresses are http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/ and http://www.archbishopofyork.org/

"Both websites use a fresh and modern design, which share a similar style and structure, but different content," the announcement said. "The design themes of each site help complement the public profile of both archbishops, with the Archbishop of Canterbury's site using shades of contemplative blue and grey, whilst the Archbishop of York features vibrant reds. New functionality has also been introduced in both sites such as videos, RSS feeds, a 'contact us' form and photo gallery."

Williams and Sentamu both have personal pages including their biographies and background on personal interests such as poetry and Russian literature for the former, and York City Football Club for the latter.

"We recognize the huge potential and increasing importance of web-based communication and see it as central to ensuring that the messages of both archbishops and the Church of England are widely heard," a Lambeth Palace spokesperson said. "Through our new websites the archbishops will be able to reach out to fresh audiences through the use of video, audio and other facilities. More adaptable and user-friendly websites will make it easier for people inside and outside the church to access the archbishops and their ministries, and to better understand the part which both archbishops play in our national life and in the wider Anglican Communion."
