Developing Process
One of our goals for this year is to continue to solidify how we launch web properties and products. Process is what we’re looking for! We’re caught between two worlds though (and you’re probably as familiar as we are with these two); our desire to be fast, agile, and responsive as well as making sure that [...]

13. November 2009
We’ve spent some time recently cleaning up. This may not seem like fun to most people, but I actually enjoy it. We are frequently updating our sites with new designs, technologies, and features, but we often neglect to decommission or delete our old stuff. Sometimes we don’t want to get rid of things because we want [...]

Web technologies and design trends are constantly changing. That’s why it’s important to keep up to date.

There’s just something about those weekly meetings that provide much more value than “What are you working on?” moments [...]

1. July 2009
What’s the purpose of your church’s website? Who is your target audience? What information is important to have online? Why does your church even have a website? Have you thought about these questions? All too often church websites become dumping grounds for any and all information about every ministry, event, and service your church has ever [...]

21. June 2009
The organization is looking to replace our current church management system with a web-based application. This system contains information about all of our member, attendees, and contributors. The type of information in this system ranges from name, address, and telephone number to volunteer and small group involvement. Because of the move to a web-based church management [...]
