Case Study

ChristUM.net
Client: Christ United Methodist Church
Responsibilities: User-requirement research, documentation, website strategy development
Awards: 2006 E-Zekiel.com Usability Award

In 2005, Christ United Methodist Church launched its first website, ChristUM.net. Christ United Methodist Church is located in one of the fastest growing communities in the country, Franklin, Tenn. Franklin’s predominant demographic is young families, and in many cases they are moving to the community from out of state.

Christ United Methodist Church worked with Matt Carlisle, founder of Big
Heart Design, to learn the web-based needs of current members, new members, and potential new members. The goal was to create a church website that would meet the needs of the current membership, but also be welcoming to potential members looking for a new church home. Based
on the research conducted, Matt Carlisle developed the strategy,
information architecture and necessary documentation for design.

 

 

When our church needed to develop a website, we called on the expert advice and execution of Matt Carlisle. He pushed us to utilize features that surpassed my expectation of what the site could be and do. He took the time to understand fully our church's mission of relationships. His project management expertise and strategy development assistance has enhanced our communication and visibilty within our church fellowship and throughout our local community. I simply cannot overstate the benefits that Matt Carlisle brought not just to our website, but to our abilty to live into God's calling.
