Yes, folks, we’re now entering CFBC v2. (That simply means the second version of the church website). With little fanfare and even fewer problems, we launched the new version of the website. For you less-technical folks, you may want to skim this post, and I do plan on posting about several of the interesting new features of the site.
So, before I begin, check it out at Championforest.org.
Things Removed:
The color “Baby Blue”
Large title graphics with “related” imagery
Bloated Stylesheets
Clumsy Nav Structure
Rigid Home Page
Unneeded Forms
Things Added
The color green.
Textures
Popups
Fades
Customizable Home Page
firo (Flash Image Rotation)
Useful Forms
Notables
The cleanest, purest, and best code I’ve ever produced. The code is completely void of hacks which clogged the former design.
The JavaScript was written entirely by me (except for a few reused Fucntions, sIFR, and the moo.fx toolkit).
firo and the Flash Graphic were both imagined and written by myself.
The idea is a culmination of my design efforts and a watchful eye on thousands of other sites. I think it’s very unique, but you can find similar concepts among other websites.
It was conceived and produced in a significantly less amount of time than my first version of the site.
So, go check it out at Championforest.org.
