Web Committee #2 -- Update on Web Site Redesign

by Debra Dawson

Memorial Church Web Committee #2 -- Proposal to Redesign the Church Web Site Date Issued: February 15, 2005 Deadline for Feedback: February 22, 2005 Please agree/disagree/make alternative suggestions. Post comments and feedback as many times as you would like by replying directly to this e-mail message, so that your comment is archived. Proposal: _____________________________________ Step 1 -- Quick Fix Justin and I met last week and propose that we quickly give the current site a fresh look. This entails the following: Justin will create a new banner with a cleaner design for the top of the Web pages. Deb will lay out the home page a little differently to include more photos and white space. Justin and Deb will work together to create a couple of different layouts to present to the committee. Justin and I would like to present these layouts to the committee for your input within the next two weeks. We can meet face-to-face to fine tune a layout that suits our needs once you've had a chance to see our rough designs. We need to decide whether we are happy having Justin and Deb take this on, as opposed to using UIS Web Site Development Services (these considerations are budget-related and we are in discussion with Mark). Step 1 gives us a fresher looking Web site quickly and at a minimal expense, allowing us to fine tune our specific programming requirements before proceeding with Step 2 below. _____________________________________ Step 2 -- New Functionality Once we have incorporated a design that we like and live with it for a short while, we can tweak the layout and then prepare a list of the exact functionality that we need to implement, such as: browser-based tools for designated staff to update the content automated updates that are date-sensitive online reservation form and booking process for weddings (and other services?) transaction processing for books, CDs, etc. video streaming (note that we are already streaming audio of Sunday sermons on our site as a learning experience) Step 2 involves contracting a programmer, creating forms, and preparing databases. The functionality that we can expect is directly related to our budgeted resources. --
