Welcome to the movement
Jesus Collective is a new evangelical organization focused on resourcing, training, and uniting a network of Jesus-centred churches and church leaders. They already had a website design, but they needed somebody to execute — and there were only a few weeks to get it done. I built a website that’s fast, easy to update, and flexible enough to stay relevant regardless of the direction they go in the future.
Jesus Collective’s CMS allows simple pages, complex pages, and anything in between to be created with ease.
A robust page editor
The new Jesus Collective website is built on a robust, unique site builder. The page editor is built specifically for their needs, and allows simple pages (like their Events page) and complex pages (like their Get Involved page) to be built with ease. It’s easy for the site editors to create complex layouts in just a couple clicks. If they need to, they can even select different layout styles for each component. All without touching a single line of code.
Dynamic images and animations
Jesus Collective’s website is rich with parallax images, knockout text, animated sections, and so much more. The code loads images and other assets dynamically, and only as needed — so the site only loads the resources it needs to, and nothing more. This keeps the site fast everywhere — even for global visitors in remote locations with weak mobile connections.
The website is responsive, and automatically scales from the smallest phones to the largest desktops with ease.
“Being a product designer, I’ve worked with many developers of the years, and I’d have to say that Nathan is one of best. He translated my designs to code with absolute tedious precision — something I’ve discovered is hard to find. He was also very prompt with his communication, often weighing in on the design using his areas of expertise, giving us a more cohesive end product. I sincerely hope Nathan and I can tag team another project in the future.”
Phil Goodwin Director of Product Design, Fivebox
The website has a rich media page that includes blog posts, videos, podcasts, and a featured media carousel for everything else.
“Our team provided Nathan with an incomplete design, a nearly unrealistic deadline, and many pending questions. Yet, Nathan delivered the entire project on time, on budget, with no stress, and he set up the entire website on the most user friendly platform we’ve ever used. We’re thrilled with the work Nathan did and are looking forward to starting a new project with him later this year.”
Lucas Belem Communications Project Manager, Jesus Collective
