Updates from India

Updates from the field are an integral part of the Fishhook website. Indian partners have the ability to post updates about their specific ministries. These updates appear on relevant pages throughout the website, keeping constituents in the U.S. informed.

Online Donations

Supporters can make donations online and can designate their funds toward specific ministries.

Currently in Production...

We are currently in the production phase of an in-depth donation system for Fishhook. When unveiled, constituents will be able to sponsor and directly correspond with the hundreds of involved personnel in India.

Media Player

To make it simple for all visitors to view CLA’s media, we created a unique pop-up media player, unifying the various media for each week’s service. Users can watch, listen, download, and read sermon notes from a singular interface. Site administrators upload each week’s media — FireFly does the rest.

The workflow is simple for CLA’s video editors, too. Each week, they export an industry-standard Quicktime h.264 movie, which is seamlessly displayed to visitors in a Flash video player.

iTunes Podcasting

We built a system to distribute CLA’s large quantities of media in ways that are convenient for the congregation. Members can subscribe to either a video or audio podcast via iTunes. Every week, the message is downloaded to subscribers’ computers, to be heard or viewed at their convenience.

A Tailored Solution

First, we equipped Punta Mita with FireFly Transmit—our newsletter management software—enabling them to easily send graphical e-mail campaigns. We then worked with Punta Mita to developed tailored functionality that enables Punta Mita to thoroughly manage client relationships. Clients can easily be added and removed from groups, contacted individually or as a group, and Punta Mita can monitor exactly who is interacting with the e-mail campaigns. This functionality is now available to all of our FireFly Transmit subscribers.

Design

We created a series of rich e-mail designs that beautifully portray Punta Mita’s brand. Punta Mita can choose from any of these designs each time they send a campaign. FireFly’s Media Library enables Punta Mita to easily upload their own photos and insert them into e-mail campaigns.

Video

We took a promotional video that Punta Mita commissioned and created a standalone web page that matches the look and feel of the e-mail campaigns. The video can be downloaded to an iPod, in HD, or shared on YouTube.

WordPress

As a rapidly growing organization, with constituents spread across the globe, it was important for Sari Bari to keep people up to date on their latest accomplishments. We imported content from their existing blog, and set them up with the industry-standard, open-source WordPress software.

FireFly

We have fully integrated WordPress into the FireFly interface. Their blog employs the same look as the rest of the site. Content editors use the same account to publish to the blog as they do to edit their site.

Content

Because of the intentional emphasis on a relaxed lifestyle, we devoted a large portion of content to the amenities and recreation opportunities at Bethel Pointe, the community attractions, and the people who live there. Because we directed copywriting and photography for the project, we were also able to use hundreds of relevant photographs throughout the site, evoking the warm community present at Bethel Pointe. The site has been featured in numerous web design galleries.

Why Use Maps?

The best neighbors are those involved in the community, volunteering and active in civic organizations. We used dynamic maps to showcase just how many involvement opportunities are available in Wilmore.

How Does it Work?

Bethel Pointe administrators simply add the addresses of local churches and organizations. FireFly does the rest of the work, plotting the points on a standard Google Map, along with contact information.

A Big Difference

The Potter’s Inn opened with a slow start as they settled into the business. Once we launched their vibrant web presence and began online promotions, business started booming. Most customers now say that they discovered the Inn online. The Inn has recently created annex rooms to accommodate additional clientelle because of the increase in business.

Awards

The Potter’s Inn website has been featured on CSS Remix, CSS Drive, The Best Designs, CSS Galleries, and Screenalicious.

For Entrants

Contestants maintain accounts on the Omni Awards site, enabling them to enter their productions into multiple categories. The site e-mails contestants when media is received, when projects have been adjudicated and when awards have been shipped.

For Administrators

Omni Awards administrators use a Javascript-enhanced system to rapidly receive and adjudicate many hundreds of entries. Orders for awards and certificates are also managed through the site.
