Messiah Lutheran’s previous website was updated with static files and ready for a fresh new visual design. After surveying some of the best church websites on the internet we planned out the required templates needed to support their design needs. We proposed a prominent ‘search’ form for easy access to website content driven by sphinx search which indexes and ranks search results very well.

The overall theme of the website design and content publishing emphasized the need to be relevant to the local community which Messiah serves. Some of the new features included in the content management tools were a custom podcast manager with scripts to play audio content via HTML5 when supported in the browser, like on an iPhone. The photography was provided by the organization so that the images displayed on the website characterize the experience a visitor may expect when attending a service at the church.
