peek-a-boo
In case you didn’t know, the reason I haven’t posted much in the last week is due to me doing a LOT of work on our church’s new website. I put a little sneak peek here so that you could see something (I know, it’s not much - I don’t want to give too much away). Things are coming along really well with it, and we’re getting extremely close to the release date. I’m planning on turning it loose sometime next week. Basically, I’m just missing a few pictures and finishing up a few discussions, and that’s about it.
This has been a really long and interesting project for me. It’s definitely the most in-depth site that I’ve done so far, and I’ve learned a ton. It’s only about my third attempt at using a content management system, but I’m loving that aspect of it. I chose to use opensource Joomla for this project. That’s the CMS that I’m the most comfortable with. php and mySQL have become my good friends over the last several years, and I was glad to continue with them. :-)
Anyway, once it’s released, I’ll write more of the details here. Thanks to those few out there who I’ve asked to give me their thoughts on the new site. You’ve been extremely helpful.
Talk to you soon!
