I have been having a blast with a web project this past year, and it is almost ready to launch.

A few years ago, I put a rather simple site together for church, and it met their needs. Their needs, however, have grown. Additionally, the amount of time I can commit to keeping their site up to date has decreased.

This week, we launch a brand new site with a more robust navigation structure. In addition, I am running the site out of a MySql database, with a PHP written Content Management System (CMS). That will allow the church staff to keep the site up to date, and create and edit content, without having to call me and wait 3 weeks for me to get to it!

The CMS I am using is a rather well put together one available at http://scripts.dbmasters.net/

Eliminating the “flat-file” system also allows us to propogate content in multiple locations on the site, without having to rewrite it every time.

It launches October 4th, but (as a special offer for my blog visitors), you can see it early at: http://www.hopechurchoakdale.com/index.php
