Web Inception Launches New Website ‘Bellevue First Congregational Church’

Web Inception has launched anew website for client Bellevue First Congregational Church, of Bellevue, Washington, USA.  The site is built on the ExpressionEngine content management system and features a site design that emphasizes organization of information, earthy, grounded colors and a strong tie to the faith history of the church.

The site replaces a manually-updated HTML site that required regular maintenance in order to stay up to date.  The new site allows over a dozen content managers to create and edit information on the site using ExpressionEngine’s exceptionally secure membership system.

Web Inception built several custom plugins for the site to add functionality beyond ExpressionEngine’s core system.  These functions, along with typical core functions, allow FCC BEllevue to bring the strong ties of their community-based church onto the website.  Some sections of the site that emphasize social aspects are the Community Groups area, the secure Members area, and the Events and Volunteer Needs areas. 

Church sermons are also being made available as a podcast in iTunes or through Feedburner.  Site visitors can also listen to the sermons on the website through a Flash audio player.
