The Rock Church is one of the churches in Squamish, BC and their website was launched in July 2009. The site requirements were many and included some great logo and design elements by ChirpMill Communications and a complete Wordpress CMS solution, blog components, numerous registration forms and an email subscription system for their supporters.

This new Squamish church has now officially launched and holds their Sunday gatherings at the Eagle Eye Community Theatre in Howe Sound Secondary School.

After more years of web development in the custom design realm than we wish to admit, we have decided to commit fully to the development and hosting of Wordpress, CMS-based solutions. Why such a dramatic commitment to one system, a system known as blogging software?

Because the world has changed, that’s why!

Wordpress has emerged as both a serious CMS (Content Management System) and into one of the most innovative and creative design communities anywhere. This open source product has the potential to change everything and is very reminiscent of some of the net’s early days when Google was just a newcomer that no one thought would rule the world.

They are committed to joining God in the creation of Missional, Authentic, and Transformational Communities of Christ throughout British Columbia, Canada. 

The requirements  for this project were extensive and included a robust CMS (Content Management System) so that the organization could update and manage their site after the design was complete. We chose to implement a Wordpress system with a dynamic template that offers full featured blog engine, gallery photo and video capabilities (Flash, Quicktime, etc.).

The assessment process helps to identify and affirm those potential leaders that the church needs today.

The requirements for this site were simple. Design a clean and easy to navigate site for prospective church planters and their sponsoring churches.
