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 [...]
I haven’t posted in a while because deeply intrenched in some good stuff at church and some fun web design work. I am in the midst of finishing up some sites for a few great organizations:
Joe Myers (Author of The Search to Belong and Organic Community). Here is Joe’s current site. A redesign [...]
I headed down to Philadelphia to hang out with my friend LT (who is in my top five favorite people in the world!). LT is a pastor at Chinese Christian Church and it has been really interesting to learn over the years about the culture that the Chinese church in America faces. [...]
So, many of you won’t care about this but I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 (Dreamhost has their one-click installs upgraded already which is very impressive). I basically want to see how the new text editor they are touting works out so I am doing a few things that usually broke the old one to [...]
If you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I have been changing the design little by little for the past few months. I think I finally landed on a semi-final version that I am happy with. Here’s a basic rundown of the changes for those of you who [...]
If you’re interested we just launched a website for Cornerstone Community Church in Maryland.
I made a slight, but significant change to the Conversation at the Edge blog. Take a look and see if you can tell the difference in the new one…
I officially launched a new website today for Prairie Hill Christian Church.
They are still adding content, but have some up there.
What do you think of the design?
I just launched another new blog for Off the Map called Conversation at the Edge. Check it out here.
I’ve been on a redesigning frenzy lately. Part of the thing I enjoy so much is sitting back after a site is done and seeing what all the work brought forth. Most people aren’t too impressed with the ways I tricked out the code to make it work, but its satisfying to the [...]
I did something stupud and broke my website about 2 minutes before I had to leave on vactation and I didn’t have time to fix it. Oh well, such is life. Enjoy the mess.
