What We Did for the Abyssinian Baptist Church Website Redesign
How do you recreate the joy, high energy and culture of one of the oldest Baptist churches in the nation? Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem came to Network9 to redesign their website and give their unique spirit a virtual voice. We knew we had to capture the extraordinary energy and spirituality of the 200+ year-old sanctuary. For the design, we were inspired by traditional African textiles, contemporary artwork, the neighborhood, and the church itself. The home page gives the feeling of a patchwork quilt, which expresses the diversity of their congregation, and the color palette is as intense as the joyfulness of their community.
The Problem it Solved
Abyssinian’s congregation can connect like never before, with live sermons broadcast every Sunday, SMS functions, a community calendar, forum and photo galleries. Visitor information is clear, and everyone can explore new ways to connect with the Church community. The website redesign now embraces the technologies their members use, and they are reaching a wider audience. The site is built with a custom WordPress back end, giving them the ability to stay on top of events and manage their website in-house. Now that’s a blessing!
The Result
The Abyssinian Baptist Church Website Redesign is getting rave reviews and promises to grow along with their congregation.
