I took over this site in 2005 and maintained the site through 2011 to improve the timeliness of the content.
I added several features to make the administration easier, and capable of editing by the church staff.
These included:
- Adding an online gallery.
- Converting the layout to CSS to reduce download time, improve search engine ranking, and improve readability for those with visual impairments.
- Developing dynamic pages for each of the ministries so that church staff can make updates on their own.
- Developing dynamic pages for each of the leaders, incorporating images and web-based e-mail.
- Adding an online calendar for upcoming church events, which church staff can update on their own.
- Providing online maps to make it easier for people to find the church.
- Redesigning the layout of the site to work with new logo and colors.
Overall the site became easier to maintain, and faster to access. Plus, incorporating Google Maps into the site made it easier for first time visitors to find the church.
