 Goal:
There were several goals for the InterVarsity web site. IV wanted to
provide information about their organization to students at several
universities in NJ & NY including general information about the group,
current activities, events and conferences and allow students to sign-up for
events online. They also wanted to use the web site as an information center
for their staff. This area required a login to access the various types of
information available and could be updated regularly by the site
administrator(s).
Result:
The web site has been a great success. Besides being visually appealing,
it has helped students find the information they need quickly and allowed
them to sign-up for events immediately instead of waiting for mailed forms
to be received and processed manually. The site administrator(s) can update
staff information through user-friendly browser-based forms and the IV staff
can access up-to-the-minute information, including a variety of documents
that are uploaded to the web site, whenever and where ever they need them.
Testimonial:
Dear Dan,
I am very grateful for all the work you've done for us in creating the
InterVarsity NY/NJ website. I had a volunteer working on it for a time and
then I tried to take a crack at it myself. The best move I could have made
was to bring the whole project to you.
You helped explain the whole process of website design. You also helped
me envision what we would need so that our website would be effective. I
love the way the sight looks and how easy it is to get around. Many of our
staff have made positive comments on the look and feel of the site. I also
appreciate your willingness to answer my questions when I'm not quite
understanding what you're trying to say or do. The pages about our retreats
and other events have been very helpful as many students are using them and
actually registering online.
Just a few weeks ago when we met to discuss where we go from here, you
were again very helpful. You shared some ideas with me that helped me to
better understand how programming could benefit us in the development of our
site. I like the way you explained this using examples from other sites
you've developed. This helped me to see the possibilities. You are also very
skilled technically. I know that you are able to do what you say you will do
and with excellence. You have served us well and I'm grateful.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Ed Miller
Assistant Regional Director
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
