Custom WordPress Website: Reap in Joy Ministry

While I never take a project I would be ashamed to claim, some projects are taken for business reasons only. Reap in Joy Ministry is more than a business project to me. It represents my beliefs and convictions, and I am thrilled to have been a part of this project.

About Reap in Joy Ministry

Reap in Joy Ministry is a local church ministry that helps to plant churches, encourage pastors, and support missionaries while reaching lost souls for Christ in North America and abroad.

Using an auto dialer (not to be confused with telemarketing), Reap in Joy Ministry is able to help churches reach large numbers of area residents in a short amount of time. Reap in Joy has proven to be an effective tool for reaching the lost with the Gospel.

The Problem

Reap in Joy’s website was unattractive, limited to only 3 pages, and not at all user-friendly. Because of the 3-page limit, all kinds of information were jumbled together with no clear breaks or sections, making it virtually impossible for visitors to find the information they wanted.

My task was to create a website that would be attractive, easy to manage, user-friendly, and would not limit the number of pages available.

The Solution

The decision to move the site to the WordPress platform was made because a WordPress website is easy to manage, does not limit the number of pages that may be created, and non-native functions (like a contact form) can be easily added with plugins.

The custom design was created around an image provided by Reap in Joy Ministry. The site’s colors and images were selected with an eye for enhancing and directing visitors’ attention to the content.

The Result

Reap in Joy Ministry now has an attractive, easy to manage website with clear navigation to help visitors find exactly what they want. The unlimited page capability allowed me to break the content into logical groupings with each type of content having its own page. In addition to transferring content, we were able to add new content.

New functions were also added: a photo gallery, contact page, and section for newsletters are just a few of the additions that were made.

Goal Accomplished: Another Satisfied Client

Mr. Bolduc and his volunteer staff are delighted with the new Reap in Joy Ministry site. It meets or exceeds the project requirements: to create an attractive, easy to manage, and user-friendly site.
