I was commissioned to design a new website for the Immersion church that I was involved in. The church is targeted to 20s and 30s and tries to teach Christ’s message in a “culturally relevant way,” so I opted for a more creative design where the user navigates content areas spread throughout the 2d plane of a whimsical illustrated world.
Unfortunately, once the design was presented to leaders at the “mother church,” the idea was rejected, and the website sits unfinished (visit it here: http://beimmersed.tcpconsulting.com). But I’m still glad I was able to design a more creative website and hope to get a chance in the future.
One thing I’m specifically proud of is that I was able to make the site pretty dynamic, considering it’s a Flash site. It pulled in the BeImmersed Blog Feed, the Sermon Podcast Feed, and uses an integrated Content Management System called Flashblocks.
Flashblocks allows you to right click on the site and Login, then edit objects in the page. It includes, among other things, a rich text editor that used fonts embedded in the Flash file (note Myriad Pro above) and a built-in image gallery module that automatically pulls in images from a directory on the server.
