Desiring God Redesign (2004-2006)

One of my first tasks at Desiring God was to make their static web site database-driven. This was a huge project for a small team. We wrote up specs that totaled over a hundred pages. We built our own CMS and e-commerce engine and then proofed and re-organized over 2,000 articles. We redesigned hundreds of pages, including a complete visual identity overhaul. We put up thousands of audio files. Yes, and more. It took almost two years to complete.

Skills: Programming (PHP5/SQL), XHTML/CSS
Date: Summer 2004 - Fall 2006
Partners: Matt Perman (project manager, information architect),
Matthew Taylor (designer)
Results: Within four months visits increased 99%, audio listens increased 352%, and page views increased 359%.

Desiring God Blog (2007)

After our redesign, Desiring God decided to start a blog. In a couple months I created a blog, with an RSS feed, built on our CMS framework. Within a year, it became one of the most popular Christian blogs with over 9,000 RSS subscribers and 22,000 unique views a month.

Desiring God Radio (2004)

Desiring God started a radio program in early 2004. I created a database-driven site that streamed the program, archived the messages, and listed all the radio stations it played on. It was used until 2006, when it was replaced with a component of the site redesign (see "Desiring God Redesign").
