Organizations.
Client.
This website is designed and developed for the non-profit organization Christwalk International Ministries, Inc. This newly formed Christian ministry is located in the North Georgia mountains.
Assessment.
The site includes an assuring color palette and user-friendly options that are consistent with the “Come As You Are” theme of the organization. The site appeals to visitors of all ages. Visitors can view a pastoral blog, podcasts, team member biographies, categorized ministry descriptions, and events. The website links to the ministry’s retreat center. A child-theme scenario allows for designer control and artistic license by inserting HTML5/CSS3 coding where appropriate. The home page contains slider images with animation.
Improvement.
As this ministry grows, the website handles that capability as well. The color scheme and overall feel of this website correspond to additional ministry websites and the organizational vision of Pastor Chip Woodall.
Must Haves.
The client prefers for the website to be scalable for future growth. Currently, the ministry’s growth includes reaching others in Millersburg, Ohio. A subdomain of this site will assist in developing and expanding this discipleship opportunity.
Development.
SSL certificate, backup, and malware protection provide appropriate security measures. Links to social media accounts direct website traffic to more social connections. Google Analytics tracks the number of visitors to the website. Search Engine Optimization using Yoast SEO increases the results of relevant Internet queries. The site proves compatible with mobile devices. In addition, the website performs fast loading due to image optimization.
Take Aways.
Plan for future expansion of your website. As your business or organization grows, the size and content of your website will increase as well.
This website links to a preexisting website for the Retreat Center. Soon the site will expand further by incorporating a subdomain for the ministry opportunities in Ohio.
Subdomains are a great way to organize and navigate to other entities of your organization while keeping your main domain name.
