BCF website

(click on image to enlarge)
For the past month my (Tim) evenings have been spent working on updating our church's website.  On the surface the design is very similar to the previous site but the inside has been completely reworked for use with a content management system (CMS). CMS allows anyone (with access!) to easily edit the content, add pages, photos, announcements, etc. without a learning curve or purchasing additional software.  I designed the template for use in WordPress. While WordPress (free) is popular among bloggers it also allows for creating entire websites.

We have first-time visitors from around the world coming to church nearly every week.  Before coming to Switzerland, many search for a local church through the Internet.  Besides being used to introduce people to the church, additional features have been added (calendar, etc.) to help inform those attending BCF.

Even though this project required additional hours, I hope to apply this new knowledge to areas of our ministry with CEF and as time allows :-)  convert our family website/blog over to WordPress.
