I'm just about ready to advertise my web design services for ministries and churches. I would especially appreciate suggestions for the following 2 items.
- A Name / domain name
- The content of the site
For now I just made it a subdomain under an existing domain. I've been struggling to come up with its own identity.
I want to make the content on the site informative and easy to find. Whether or not someone using my services, I would like the site to help them make a better decision on how to improve or redesign their site. I'm also trying to put together a welcome video which summarizes what I do and what are my unique selling points.
- I'm thinking about adding more things under the Resources section such as
- video tutorials (technical) on module implementation for church sites
- philosophy of design discussions
- links to tools or other resources external to my site
Here's the current link to the site followed by a synopsis of how I built this site.
http://sites.crossunion.com/
Theme: Acquia Slate/Fusion/Skinr
- Modules: Drupal 6.2 with CCK/Views (entire site is basically 6 distinct views / see primary & secondary links)
- View Hacks / Flipped Table - to create the Pricing page (http://sites.crossunion.com/pricing)
- Fivestar/Voting API - used on individual plan pages at top and bottom of the pages (i.e. http://sites.crossunion.com/plans/essentials)
- ImageCache/Profiles - seen on user pages, comments and the Testimonial page (http://sites.crossunion.com/testimonials)
- Lightbox2 - used to pop-out the website images on the portfolio page (http://sites.crossunion.com/portfolio)
- Menu Trails - used to create breadcrumbs / highlight secondary menu item "Resources" (i.e. http://sites.crossunion.com/resources/why-have-church-website)
