A Plug for Mark


Abstract:
I said earlier that playing with Expression Engine has made me keenly aware of the weaknesses of my own site (I mean, besides hideous design), so I'm planning on an overhaul in the near future.

Body:
For the last several months, I've been working on updating our church's painfully outdated site. It was impressive 5 or 6 years ago, but now it sits there, like a car up on blocks in the front yard, weeds growing up through the rusting fenders. Whenever a visitor says, "I saw on your website that..." those of us on staff cringe. Part of the problem is that the site isn't interactive. It is full of static information that never updates.

But our new site - oh wow. I have to give a plug to our designer, Mark Steinruck, because he has walked us from the conceptual phase all the way through completion. I can say, with no hesitation, that when this launches we will have the best website in the state. He's been great to work with, and I'm especially pleased because he has done some awesome work for which I get to take credit (since it has been "my" project). If anyone needs a church website designed from top to bottom, Mark's your guy. He understands churches and he asks excellent questions about how (and why) you want to use the web. He gets it.

I said earlier that playing with Expression Engine has made me keenly aware of the weaknesses of my own site (I mean, besides hideous design), so I'm planning on an overhaul in the near future. My intention is to make it more hideous.

Anyway, I'll come back tomorrow and post a link to the new church site.

edit: Here it is!
