Harvest Bible Chapel - North IndyHarvest Bible Chapel - North IndyByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Premium Quote 0 commentsAdd comment

In today's economic times, if you were to ask any church leader what their highest needs are, they would probably report to you that they could use additional staff, more money, and ultimately more time in a day.

Harvest Bible Chapel of North Indianapolis, Indiana has been a customer of iMinistries since the fall of 2007. A little over a month ago, their website and newsletter administrator LiaAnn Ellis contacted us to discuss upgrading their look. They were interested in getting a custom design for their website created, but after investigating our website more, she uncovered our new Premium Skins for only $75.

She reported that after showing her leadership team this design, they wanted to move forward...saving thousands of dollars and time. Just like anyone, they were curious to know if they could make a few tweaks to this design to make it their very own. LiaAnn presented us with a few mock ups that she created and after we reviewed them and coming to a mutual agreement, we were able to implement their design choices.

I’d be remiss to not thank you and David both for all the work and help you gave throughout these couple of weeks. It was a ridiculously short turnaround and I would not have been able to help make it happen if you both had not been so quick in responding and making edits as necessary to the code. The skin is amazing; the tweaks done to make it more personalized are amazing! It is definitely clear that IMinistries is gifted in furthering Kingdom work by helping others further their Kingdom work!

Truly, the process was easy, the timing was great, and the quick help was awesome. Not to mention, I learned a ton about your CMS which will really help me later on when I add new content!

Today we are happy to relaunch their website with a modified Premium skin at a fraction of the cost and time.



Let iMinistries help you create a great looking, full featured church website today. Our prices, functionality and design can not be matched!

Hilltown Baptist ChurchHilltown Baptist ChurchByTravisTaggedPremium Quote 0 commentsAdd commentWe love having great relationships with so many of our customers. A long standing relationship has been forged with Tim Buczek of Hilltown Baptist Church. They have used the iMinistries Church CMS to run their church website for several years now. For the first couple of years, they used a few different free skins that we offer, but recently decided to upgrade to one of our new Premium skins. After working with Tim to change the skin, Tim redesigned his banners and created a rotating advertisement for his home page using our Rotator feature.

iMinistries Crew,

Thanks so much for the newest look for our site! You guys provide a great balance of flexibility and structure. I can't build a site from the ground up, but love the ability to be creative and personalize what we want.

I love the new Premium Skin. It's slick and modern, easy on the eyes, easy to navigate, and still leaves a lot of potential for us to develop at time and demand grows.

Love working with you guys! Looking forward to the next opportunity.

Harvest Bible Chapel Carson CityHarvest Bible Chapel Carson CityByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Premium 0 commentsAdd commentHaving the ability to update your own website is a must. Harvest Bible Chapel Carson City pastor Jon Cox was sold on using the iMinistries Church CMS because it gives him both the creative and contextual control that he was looking for. As soon as he saw the new Cowboy Premium skin, he felt it captured the woodsy, rustic look of Carson City.

Jon has done an excellent job of using his church website to engage his future congregants both visually and textually.




Glory Books MinistryGlory Books MinistryByTravisTaggedPremium Quote 0 commentsAdd commentBecause of a glowing recommendation from Jeff Terrell of Harvest Bible Chapel Kansas City, Masters Seminary theological professor Greg Harris came to us asking for help. After having four different websites that promoted his growing library of published books as well as a blog, he wanted to consolidate everything into one website. More importantly, he wanted to have better control of editing the content on his website.



It certainly proves that word of mouth is clearly the best advertising...thanks Jeff!

In customary fashion, after launching each website we like to get feedback so that we can learn from each one of our customers. This is what Dr. Harris had to say:
I highly recommend iMinistries. They have been wonderfully knowledgeable about web design, and wonderfully patient with me who knows so little about it. There is nothing that I am aware where they did not follow through on what they told me--and often very quickly. There design was superb and professionally done.

Now that we have done our updated website, I cannot imagine doing it with anyone else.

Harvest Bible Chapel MuskokaHarvest Bible Chapel MuskokaByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Premium Quote 0 commentsAdd comment Harvest Bible Chapel in Muskoka, Ontario recently came back to iMinistries after a short sabbatical. After initially signing on with iMinistries, Harvest Muskoka left for a local company, then tried the CMS Clover, before deciding to return to us. Harvest Muskoka staff raved about our "quick customer service" and that our websites come loaded with pre-built pages for easy start-up, which wasn't the case with their last two providers.

The church went with an iMinistries Premium skin, which includes the addition of their logo and the customization of social media links, all for $75.


We are super excited about our new website! We made the switch because we were finding that our previous [Clover] website was not very interactive or useful ... whereas [our iMinistries website] is almost limitless as far as functionality and ... [is] easier for everyone to connect with what's happening at Harvest Muskoka ... because a lot is happening!!
Harvest Bible Chapel BramptonHarvest Bible Chapel BramptonByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Premium Quote 0 commentsAdd comment Harvest Bible Chapel in Brampton, Ontario has been a customer for over a year and just upgraded their church website from a free skin to one of our new premium skins (they choose Watercolor).

By choosing a Premium skin, we added Harvest Brampton's logo and linked the skin's social media icons to their desired destination.



Harvest Brampton's Jameson Evendon, Worship Ministry Coordinator explains why they changed skins and what makes iMinistries stand out among other church CMS.

Why did you want to re-skin your site?
"A church's website is an important part of their profile with visitors and potential visitors, as well as regular attenders. Harvest Brampton has been on the map for less than a year, so we want to take extra care with our website to be sure we are communicating clearly and effectively with our community. Our website was functional, but it was very plain looking, and didn't communicate effectively what our church was like. We elected to re-skin our site in order to give visitors to our site a more accurate portrayal of what our church was like, and to make our website one which you would want to come back to."

Why did you chose to go with iMinistries' Premium skins? Why Watercolour in particular?
"We wanted a skin that not many other websites were using. Upon researching other Harvest Bible Chapel websites, we discovered that they were all using a similar template. At first we thought it might be better for us to use the same template, but when we learned that there was a new skin available, we were intrigued. When we saw the watercolor skin, we loved it right away. It was the perfect mix of color and readability, and it brought our site that unique look."

What was your reaction to seeing the new site with the new skin?
"When it came up with all our graphics in place, it looked great! It was leaps ahead from our last website skin. I probably visited the site a dozen times a day for the first few days, just to look at it. We loved it."

How would you describe iMinistries' customer service?

"I was impressed at how accessible iMinistries' customer service is. It's easy to get a hold of someone for a troubleshooting issue, and any e-mails or Basecamp messages are replied to very quickly. We were also impressed at how iMinistries went the extra mile to have a look around our site for potential improvements and brought those to our attention, in order to better serve our people. It could have been a cold install of a new skin, but instead they showed they really care about their customers."

"I was impressed at how accessible iMinistries' customer service is ... they really care about their customers."

Harvest Bible Chapel - DenverHarvest Bible Chapel - DenverByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Harvest Skin Quote Semi-Custom 0 commentsAdd comment Harvest Bible Chapel Denver has now been planted and they too selected the iMinistries powerful church content management system to run their website. We won't clutter up this blog post with our thoughts for we think this quote says it all. Thank you Jeff! May the Lord bless Harvest Bible Chapel Denver in ways that prove that it is not man who does the work, but Jesus Christ!

Travis, David, and iMinistries team,

Thank you so much for your dedication, time, and effort of building a great site for our church. Your artistic abilities, timeliness, competitive pricing, and comprehensive approach were first class all the way.

Working with iMinistries was a tremendous blessing. A functional and sharp website is very important and yet most of us do not have the expertise or the language to describe exactly what we want. During this project, everyone on staff took the time to help me understand the process and made me feel like my project was of the utmost importance. The entire staff worked very promptly to get our website completed and beyond our expectations.

Having worked with other web designers in the past who use their level of expertise to overcharge, procrastinate, and make you feel inferior, I was nervous about this project. To my great delight I found working with the staff a great encouragement. I would highly recommend iMinistries to anyone who desires affordable web pricing, a great design, a personable staff, a high level of expertise, a system that is easy to learn and adapt, and a group of people who truly love the Lord and desire to use their gifts to serve Him.

I look forward to staying connected with all of you and appreciate all you have done to help us launch Harvest Bible Chapel Denver!

God’s richest blessings,
Jeff
Harvest Bible Chapel PeoriaHarvest Bible Chapel PeoriaByTravisTaggedCustom Harvest Bible Chapel Quote 0 commentsAdd comment Harvest Bible Chapel in Peoria's design team wanted a new look for their website. They created a custom skin and worked with us to make it as interactive as possible.

Images at the top of the page emphasize Harvest Bible Chapel's values of Worship, Walk (with), Work (for), and Witness (for) Christ. And links in the middle of the page link to the church's online sermons, location, and mission. They've also utilized the Rotator Feature to display banners their design team created.



Travis,

Just a quick thanks to let you know how much I appreciate the website. We have received many oohs and ahhs and we have not really pumped it yet. Next few weeks we will be directing our body at the web more and more as events are coming with sign up and we now can do it online!

Anyway, organization, features, simplicity of use for my staff…all great. Thanks.

In Him,
Pastor Tim Harkness

St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church and SchoolSt. John's Ev. Lutheran Church and SchoolByTravisTaggedFree Quote Simple Skin 0 commentsAdd comment St. John's Ev. Lutheran needed a website that could host information for both their church and school. Using iMinistries' Ministry Feature, they were able to create ministries for their church and display their school's classrooms. The result is two sites in one.

They chose the Simple skin for a clean, classic look and added a customized image on their front page to make it pop.



The “buzz” is starting… the “word” about the site and the 3/31/10 launch date continues to spread… many people are getting VERY excited about the website coming to fruition!...

Thanks...for helping Gary, Millie, and I build a strong, solid foundation for this website and making it become a reality.

Harvest Bible Chapel - TampaHarvest Bible Chapel - TampaByTravisTaggedHarvest Bible Chapel Harvest Skin Quote Semi-Custom 0 commentsAdd commentWe started the project for Harvest Bible Chapel Tampa's website on March 15. We had the website populated and launched by March 25.

Utilizing the Harvest skin and customizing it to Senior Pastor Rich Culp's specifications (Culp went with the pewter and red accent colors of Tampa's NFL franchise, the Buccaneers), and our comprehensive Harvest Church Plant Package, site setup was a snap.



Not only is the website beautiful, functional, and versatile, [but] you and the folks at iMinistries are incredibly patient and helpful. As a preacher, I would rather stand up in front of 3,000 people than touch a single widget of a website. Before going into this process, I did not even know what a URL was or for that matter what three words begin with U...R…L unless they meant “U R a Loser Rich” when it comes to websites.

Now I am conquering website administration…I even know how to set up a Rotator...

You guys have been more than long-suffering to work with me over the phone because I could not even find the HELP button much less understand the lingo in the support desk. All that to say, iMinistries well reflects the servant-heart nature of our Lord. He said that the greatest in the Kingdom is the one who serves. Thanks for serving the Kingdom with great websites.

For His Glory
By His Grace
