Redesigning a Local Community Church
Background
The Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township is a very popular, local area church. I originally redesigned their website, but the site was neglected for many years and it was time to refresh things with a major emphasis on events taking place at the church. They asked me to make events front and center; and give a fresh look to the home page. I took things 6 steps forward.
Custom Website Features
With events at the center, we had to build the functionality first. This was completely custom designed from start to finish, including many features that included:
- Add to calendar functionality for Google and Apple devices
- Repeat / recurring events and limiting the number of instances shown
- Featured, scrolling events on the home page for quick access
- Drop-down information with details, registration and add-to-calendar functionality; right from the home screen
In addition, I overhauled their fonts, styles and redesigned every page on the site, including new features such as:
- Staff / team member bios and information
- Quick Links to get their visitors easy access to information
- Newsletter integration
- Custom forms, etc
