A New Site, and Other Updates

posted by Armistead Booker | 4/17/2006

I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new site for Calvary-St. George's Church, an Episcopal parish in New York City. The parish was ready for an updated and modern look (compare to their old site), but without taking away from the rich history and traditions of their community. As their crest is a strikingly bold red banner, I maintained the theme of red throughout the site. And I was heavily influenced from a few good sites that brilliantly use a combination of serif (Georgia) and san-serif (Lucida/Verdana) font families, which read very easily. I made a major update to their parish campus map with a friendly look (a la Colonial Williamsburg's map) and some sensible, practical features (a la the directions/map I produced for Haven). For the first time, I produced a page in Arabic, highlighting one of many excellent outreach programs this parish takes on throughout the year. Altogether, I'm very excited about the outcome: check it out!

While we're on updates, I've added a selection of links to the bottom of my sidebar, to which I owe all inspiration from Khoi Vinh. It's a brilliant idea that I hope catches on. Aaand to that extent, you might notice that Refresh now has its very own favicon, grandly appearing in your browser's address bar (thanks, Charlie for prompting me to do so). Enjoy!
