Early this spring I was working on a way to streamline the development and maintenance of our web infrastructure in the region. I utilized a few web platforms known as Thesis and WordPress. This was not only for our regional websites but also to provide the ease of use and inherent operational capacity for our local ministry teams across the region.
As the semester began, I was bombarded with requests from our local teams around the region for updated websites for their ministries. It used to take me weeks worth of work to accomplish this for them.
Now, with our new network of websites set up on the regional server it takes no time at all. I am able to provide a high quality website for our local teams that they can edit and maintain.
I have also helped several of our other regions in the US utilize this same strategy for their campuses. Hundreds of campuses across the US have had effective websites and connection with students happen through the infastructure I was able to build out this last spring.
Curently, I am hosting half of our ministry teams local websites on the regional network with more to come.
