CityChurch Network
A relational network of pastors and Christian marketplace leaders uniting the churches in Central Arkansas to live and serve as the body of Christ in the community.
Project scope:
web design / copy editing / custom Salesforce integration / strategy consulting
STARTING POINT
In 2013 the then Nehemiah Network was dealing with a website that was outdated and didn’t meet their needs any longer.
They had also outgrown trying to manage their constituent list in a mass email service and were looking for a solution that could scale with the organization to include engagement and donation records.
Solution
Based on other non-profits’ success with moving their constituent management into Salesforce, we ported the existing lists into Salesforce, while at the same time greatly expanding the scope of relational information that could be tracked. Salesforce is integrated with a mass email solution for collecting email subscriptions and sending emails to the right groups.
The website was redeveloped from ground up with a fresh needs assessment, design and functionality.
In 2017, this website was completely rebuilt, using fully responsive, mobile first design. Later the same year, the website was overhauled to reflect a new name and branding for the organization: CityChurch Network.
By 2019 the mission of the CityChurch Network had refocused and it was time for another website redesign. At this time, we also improved the site’s user interface. Plus it’s even easier for staff to manage content creation and updates.
The website was again completely redesigned in 2024 to best reflect ministry needs and changes within the CityChurch Network. Again we took the opportunity to fine-tune the user experience and ensure the site’s tech stack is using the current best tools and practices to ensure the site will work smoothly in the years ahead.
Claes has designed and built 5 generations of websites for first the Nehemiah Network and now the CityChurch Network. Each time he’s worked closely with us to make sure the website includes the specific features we need for our ministry to be effective. He has especially helped us tell our story and integrating all our communication platforms.
He also continues to support us, making sure the website works, stays updated and is secure. When our needs change, I know he’ll listen and find the right solution for going forward.

Mobile first design
All websites are built to be fully responsive, meaning their layout design adapts as the screen size changes.
So the website looks great everywhere — on mobile phones, tablets, and computer screens.
