No, not literally. I guess it could do that, if, like, you are so disorganized that you forget where you live and starve to death or something. But, I’ve come to realize recently that I am way too disorganized in my work habits, I waste too much time and I am not focused enough on [...]
I’ve been using Twitter for quite a while now. I, like most people, signed up and then didn’t use it for a few months but a while back I started using it more and more. For those of you who don’t know what Twitter is, its essentially a micro blog. Essentially write short 140 character [...]
On a whim tonight, I made some major modifications to my blog design. I did a bunch of things….
The Site width is now 960px instead of 1000px. I hope this gives the design a little more breathing room.
I reduced the font size a bit.
Simplified the header
Tried to make the section titles a bit [...]
I’ve been using dreamhost since the beginning of this blog in December 2003 (yeah, i’ve been blogging that long!). Dreamhost has been a decent host for me so far but they have just had too many problems and too much downtime on their shared server for me to be happy enough. Though, I [...]
The following quote from the book, The New Rules of Marketing and PR by David Meerman Scott that I am reading for my design work has got my creative, brainstorming juices flowing in relation to church websites.
Here is the quote:
“Website content too often simple describes what an organization or product does from an egotistical [...]
Today I launched a new website for a good friend Davis Taylor. He’s on the leadership team at The Well and I consider him a very important mentor in my life.His book, The Imperfect Leader, “explores the not-so-secret secrets of transformational leadership—the kind of leadership that effectively executes a worthy mission—the [...]
I created a website for the outreach and missions ministries of Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina, MN this summer. David Berge, the intern there this summer, has created a cool little video tutorial on how the website works and its features.

I have spent the last 2 months working hard on designing, laying out and coding a new website for TAI Incorporated.
About the Company
TAI is in the business of leadership consulting. Their tag line is: “bridging the gap between strategy and execution.” Perhaps their greatest strength is their proprietary assessment tool [...]
I changed the background of my blog and did a few other small tweaks. Tried to give things a little more room to breathe.
What do you think?
Who was this site for?
This site was built for the outreach and missions teams at Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina, MN.
What is the purpose of this site?
This site acts as a blog that will share the stories of hope and compassion that are happening in the CPC community. Church members can [...]
I spend a good amount of time each week designing websites. As I do I am beginning to realize more and more that copy writing is as much a major part of the project as the design itself.
I can do my best to create a site that is visually pleasing, guides the reader and helps [...]
I just launched the website for the Ecclesia Network. This site is excited to see live for a few reasons: 1)I am proud of the design.
2) I am really excited about this network.
For the past 7 years or so I have been meeting with a group of pastors. We have all become close [...]
As a designer, I am working on my computer pretty much all day long. After a while, all the little movements it takes to change windows can get annoying so I usually try and set up my screen space in a way that let’s me switch as few windows as possible.
The above screen shots are [...]
Most of you who know me know that I make a part-time living as a freelance web designer. Those of you who know me know that I love this work and enjoy it a ton. I got into this with the help of a few good and talented friends (thanks Jim and Matt) [...]
If you aren’t using a feedreader to read my blog, you’ll hopefully notice that I’ve given the site quite a face lift. I basically started from scratch and redeveloped it from the ground up. I was the kid who always changed his room around every month just for something new so this [...]
I went to go and fix the menu on The Well’s website late last night and ended up pretty much giving the entire site a face lift. So, what started as a 10 minute project turned into a two and a half hour late-night redesign.
The beauty of the process was that with CSSEdit (a program [...]
I have updated my web design portfolio a bit. Actually, I just listed the sites I have worked on and put up a featured site on this blog. I have found one of the hardest things to do is actually keep my design site current and relevant. I kind of feel like [...]
Josh over at Church Marketing Sucks just linked to funniest and most amazing discussion thread I have seen in a long, long time. This thread from around 2001 when Apple unveiled the iPod and the discussion that insued. You have to go and read it. Its amazing. Here are a [...]
Phew. Time for a vacation. It’s only Tuesday. I just launched my third website in two days. Now I have a headache.
I am really excited to have worked on these sites and am looking forward to seeing them develop as they grow:
Language of Belonging: I already blogged about this one. We’re still adding [...]
I just launched the new website for Joe Myers, author of the book, The Search to Belong and the upcoming book Organic Community. If you have ever visited Joe’s site in the past, you know that he’s been due for an upgrade.
Joe will be doing some blogging and posting links to articles that he has [...]
