If you follow us on Facebook, it is likely that you already know a website redesign for the local non-profit summer camp, Camp Peniel, has recently gone live. The official launch date was January 15th 2025.
This project came about a few months ago because they wanted to redesign their current website and move it to a new hosting platform. They found their existing hosting platform to be cumbersome and expensive. They were also looking for a partner who was local and available to meet in person. They also wanted a partner that would not break the bank. In addition, a better solution for their email accounts was in order as they were unhappy with their provider at the time and wanted something better.
We settled on WordPress (open source version) since it’s the standard framework with many add-ons, templates, and customizations. There are both free and paid ones. We were able to build everything we needed without having to purchase any additional add-ons.
The new design of the Camp Peniel website incorporates many elements of the old site. However, with a new and responsive design that is made to work well on mobile devices, tablets and desktop and laptop computers. The color scheme and the layout were also chosen to convey a fun atmosphere.
On the email side of the project, we chose Google Workspace. Based on their budget and organizational needs, this was the best solution for Camp Peniel. Google Workspace provides most of the business productivity tools and features that an organization needs and in this case it was just right. After we chose this solution, it was just a matter of migrating their existing email to Google Workspace. That was made super easy with their build in IMAP migration tool. There are also built in tools for migrating from many popular platforms.
The staff at Camp Peniel were super easy and fun to work with. Knowing that the customer has a design that they like and appreciate is very rewarding. It’s also important that they now have a reliable email solution that will serve them for a long time to come. This project was a pure delight to be a part of.
