A new year, a new look

The Mission 

Western Port Community Family Church located in the Morington Penninsula area of Victoria is a small family focused church which has currently extended to two locations. The leadership team have been discussing a new look and feel to their online presence for some time. The church wish to update many aspects of the branding assocatied with the church, with the website being just one element of the support the Mimshack team have been able to offer. 

Design Brief

The church was after a simple one page website which highlighed the following elements:

• service times, location and campas
• opportunity for online giving
• clear contact details
• brief mission and vision statements 

Logo 

The client has an inhouse team member create a new logo, which was to be used online orginally, but during the course of 2023  new signage on the exterior of their building was also added which included this new design.

Colors & Fonts 

The church had an inhouse team member who designed a simple brand guide, at the time of logo creation.

Photography & Visuals 

The client chose to use a simple photography and icons, as well as a short video to showcase their church to their local community.

Delivery Timeframe

The project was to happen over a 6-8 week time period.

The Process...

• The organisation provided us with approved copy, images and a video for the site. Our team created two wireframe options, based around this provided information. After the wireframe was completed, our team was able to build, undertake revisions and migrate the completed website over November and December; with the site being handed over just before Christmas '23.
  

The stats

• Once we had all the required wording, our team was able to pull together the wireframe and first draft of the site within a week. From here we encountered a delay of almost a month while the client team worked on new values, misison and vision statements.
  
• All in all - the time from receiving the informaiton to finalised site was around 5 weeks.
  

The Struggles...

• We encountered a few few issues which lead to the project stalling on a few occasions. These ranged from their copyrighter taking maternity leave, to the church undertaking work on their vision, mission and core values over the course of 2023.
  
• The delays, however, enabled the church to complete a new logo and brand colors, refresh their values statement, sweep in a second campus - so all-in-all a greater consistency has been greated due to the time delays.
