LCWR was ready to move from the static HTML site that had been developed in-house to something that was easier to navigate and manage, with a focus on conveying a beautiful, professional, and vibrant mood. We kept some aspects from the original design for consistency of identity (such as the color scheme) and updated and revised the structure and design.

In conjunction with their website redesign, Nonprofit Roundtable asked us to rework their weekly eNewsletter, the Roundup. We matched styles with the new site and helped reduce visual clutter in the mailing. We converted the design to HTML, optimized for email, and tested on a variety of clients. Since the Roundtable uses Salesforce, we installed the template into their Salesforce account via a Vertical Response integration.

We worked with our longtime partner, Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington*, to redesign their website and prepare a template to function in the Nonprofit Soapbox+ service they had decided to use. We worked together with the team at PicNet to get the site ready to go, with CEDC handling most of the design-related tasks and template creation, and PicNet handling most of the Soapbox- and server-related functionality and the Salesforce integration.

SOFIE (Schools Online For Interactive Education) is the website of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools. It serves as an information point about the association of twenty-one Sacred Heart schools across the United States, including clickable maps and information about the schools, as well as frequently updated news and events.

CLINIC approached us about creating a custom mapping tool to help them present state and local immigration resources in a visual way, with the ability to filter on a variety of issues, content types, and states. There were no tools around that gathered all of this type of information into one place, let alone providing an interface to explore the data.

This site supports the Society of the Sacred Heart's NGO office at the United Nations. We've built it in Drupal, making it multilingual. The site is manually translated into three languages: English, French, and Spanish. (We also provide a simple link to Google Translate's attempt to render the page in other languages). We've provided three separate URLs for the site so that users can go directly to the language that they prefer:

The African American Baptist Mission Collaboration seeks to help rebuild, revitalize and advocate for Haiti in wake of the January 2010 earthquake. Their site needed to reflect the style and colors of their logos, providing information about the three main prongs of their work: Projects, Service, and Advocacy. We built their site with Drupal, integrating it with CiviCRM so that all user interactions with the site (such as someone filling out the "Contact Us" form, making a donation, or signing up for a volunteer service opporunity) are fed into the CiviCRM database.

We finally carved out the time to freshen the look and feel and rebuilt our site from the ground up.

We used Drupal for its extensibility and for the ability to cross-reference the type of design with the partner we worked with as well as any keywords we added for a design. Custom theming also allowed us to link the partner pages to a list of the other projects that we've worked on with them, and in the design pages, to automatically generate an image gallery based on the filepaths for graphics we've uploaded for the project.

The good folks at the North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS) contacted us to ask for advice and help as they considered redesigning their website. The site was an extensive collection of static HTML pages and they were contemplating how best to convert this into a more manageable and user-friendly form.

NETWORK Lobby and the NETWORK Education Program do important work but had a web presence that was outdated in style and functionality. The site needed a redesign and since it was  a collection of static HTML pages that were managed via FTP, it was a prime opportunity to also update the way the site was managed.

The Education For Justice project has an expansive membership-based website chock full of prepared resources related to Catholic Social Teaching for educators. In November of 2007 we helped them port their site over to Drupal from a proprietary CMS which was not user-friendly. Although they had great content, it was hard to organize it well in the restrictive and clunky system they were tied in to. Recently, we've given the site another major update.

Before coming to CEDC for a website redesign, Festival Center had a site about their main program, the Servant Leadership School. They wanted the new site to feature the Center itself, draw people to the school, and also encourage them to rent space at the Center. They liked the ability to do their own editing and to add new articles on their own.

We recently helped Africa Faith and Justice Network refresh the website that we helped them develop back in 2006. The site allows them to manage their news items and events, as well as donations, subscribtions and advocacy email blasts through integration with Democracy in Action. The photos in the rotating headers are courtesy of CRS and we've also integrated some subtle African textures into the background.

The National Catholic Partnership on Disability's new site recently went live. We developed it in Drupal and trained NCPD staff so that they can manage the site themselves. We had input from folks in their offices and on their board regarding accessibility preferences and ended up building two separate themes, one which included graphics and one which was a stripped down "text only" version.

The static HTML site we had helped the Sisters of the Sacred Heart build years earlier had grown to such a point that we began looking for an easier way to manage the content. The site is largely translated into three languages (French, Spanish, and English) and so each update was requiring much more effort than was necessary.

A site redesign and development in an open source CMS to make updating easier among the team of updaters, to make content more accessible to the public and to members, and to provide a more attractive face to the public. 

FCAN's website was out of date and hard to manage. We worked with them to create a simply designed site that was restructured and which could be updated through a web browser. We went with a simple red and black color scheme to match the colors of their logo and set up a number of online registration forms to help make the process of accepting applications easier.

The Washington Child Development Council needed a site refresh so we took their old site and developed a cleaner, updated look and feel, retaining echoes of the old look for continuity. We developed the site in a content management system so that they can take control of the content and fulfilled their desire for some movement by integrating a subtle Flash header which is dynamic but not in-your-face. NOTE: This site is no longer live in this format.

The Center of Concern (COC) recently partnered with us to refresh their website both visually (with an updated look and feel) as well as underneath the hood (with a more powerful content management system).

This site had AJAX rotation on front page news items and a random header image. The front page was a separate template with larger images -- internally the header shrunk to allow content to stay closer to the top. NOTE: This site is no longer live in this format.
