The Challenge And Solution:

Design a site that is easy to use for all ages, easy to update in-house, and has a design that is consistent and functional.

Immanuelrapids.com has a quick-loading and easy-to-navigate design that is not only attractive, but functional. Large interactive buttons mean easy and clear navigation, implementation of CSS style sheets mean consistency, and integration of common graphics ensure great looking and quick-loading pages.

The Challenge And Solution:

Design a site that can 'run itself'. Things required: Calendar, Photo Gallery, Downloads Area, Announcements Area.

Camp Luther

Primary Purpose:

Provide Camp Program Information
Communication with Staff & Campers of all ages
Collect Registration Information

The Challenge And Solution:

Design a large website that can be maintained by multiple people, is easy to navigate, looks good and loads fairly quickly on a Wisconsin-Northwoods speed internet.

The campluther.com site is organized the way campluther wanted it. It's five branches are organized in a tree-branch format. Using style sheets, each branch is distinct, but coherent with the rest of the site.

Campluther.com integrates a number of web applications - including a news application that publishes RSS feeds, a out-of-house summer camp registration system, an in-house registration system with database collection and email confirmation

As part of a new site, the campluther logo was also updated and can be used in stationary as well as online applications.

 

Impact

Primary Purpose:

Information on Impact Program
Communication between people involved/interested

The Challenge And Solution:

Design a fairly small website that fits the logo is easy to update. There will be a message board, and may expand in the future. IMPACT is designed to be part of campluther.com, but distinctly different. Cost is also a concern.

Impact is hosted on the same site as campluther.com - but with the sub domain 'impact' affixed to it, giving us impact.campluther.com at no extra hosting costs.

 

NWD Youth

Primary Purpose:

Establish lines of communication between leaders
Provide public information on events

The Challenge And Solution:

Design a fairly small website with a modern look and is easy to update. Dynamic requirements include a message board and perhaps a calendar later-on.

The interface of NWD Youth is infused with flash - which is consistent throughout the site but not too distracting.

Navigation is simple with interactive links along the top and side.

 

Myf8th.com

Primary Purpose:

Multiple Content Management
Academic Course Management

The Challenge And Solution:

Design and host a site that, with little maintenance, can be utilized and managed by multiple users (potentially thousands) in an academic portal environment.

For both front-end and back-end management, the open-source system Moodle was used. Because Moodle is in active development by thousands of programmers (including Anablepo) so there are a great number of resources available.

Because of the need for a durable and versatile design, the layout is simple but distinct. The first page that a user sees features an animated flash movie of waves - symbolizing the waters of baptism. (thematic in the content of the site.)

 

Calvary Lutheran Church

Primary Purpose:

Online Presence & Interactive
Member Portal

The Challenge And Solution:

Calvary Lutheran Church had an old site that was well-maintained, but grew out of date, and thus was enable to keep-up with the church's needs. The challenge was providing a cost-effective Web 2.0 Site that enabled multiple editors (of which they now have a small army) to edit content and manage the site's functionality.

ANABLEPO elected to use an open-source CMS software to accomplish the task. After skinning the site to the client's preference, members can log in and receive messages, view customized content and interact online, while the editors can login and edit content wherever they have an internet connection - with no software other than their internet browser.

 

Pilgrim Heights Retreat Center

Primary Purpose:

Attractive Online Presence
Available Information for
Potential and Current 'Campers.'

The Challenge And Solution:

Design and host a site that is both attractive, and easily updated (with varying frequency) without additional software. The site design should reflect the organization's purpose, yet be easily navigated.

This site incorporates ANABLEPO's first home-grown CMS, which allows the site owners to login and edit their site with a Microsoft Word-like environment, and access their ANABLEPO account (documentation and support). The site has a flexible design and while the site is graphically appealing, it loads quickly.

 

 

Luther Memorial Chapel & University Student Center

Primary Purpose:

Online presence and repository for news and periodical materials like sermons, blog entries and other information.
Resources for potential visitors

The Challenge And Solution:

 

Luther Memorial Chapel and University Student Center - while having the rich heritage of current members of many years - has a missional position on a local university campus. The site needs to accessible to long-time members and potential members - but also attractive and easily updatable without complicated software.

 

Imcusc.org is built upon the framework of an open-source Content Management System that allows the client to simply login to the website fo managing static content as well as frequently updated information. The template is constant throughout the site - and includes a number of graphic elements that help construct a consistent feel - while being highly flexible at the same time. ANABLEPO hosting is also utilized - giving the client the option of having branded e-mail address management as well as complete control of every aspect of the site.

 

 

poundingthepavementperu.com

Primary Purpose:

Basic Informational Site
Simple navigation for all audiences
Easily accessible contact information

The Challenge And Solution:

Design and host a site that can be used as an informational base containing information for potential donors for this non-prophet activity that still has an attractive design.

Poundingthepavementperu.com was designed with a simple layout - a narrower width for easily readable content - and navigation is simple, reactive and redundant. This site also utilizes some advanced functions like an e-mail form (which e-mails predetermined addresses without actually embedding the e-mail addresses - protecting users from spam produced by internet-crawling address collection bots) and an ajax guestbook.

 

Cross of Christ Lutheran Church Chattanooga

Primary Purpose:

An online presence to provide basic information about Cross of Christ Lutheran church for guests as well as detailed information for members - all with an attractive appearance reminiscent of the Chattanooga area.

The Challenge And Solution:

Design a site that is attractive, functional - and easily updated by multiple content managers - as well as providing latitude for future expansion.

cocluth.com utilizes a cutting-edge content management system along with industry standard style and layout which allows for an expandable site and navigation system.
