Choice Ministries is an organization that serves the trucking industry. They provide counseling and support to drivers and their families as well as serving others in the trucking industry. They contacted OurChurch.Com wanting to have a website design that was modern and fresh and something that would complement the look and feel of the brochure they recently created. In only a few weeks OCC created a custom NE1 template that Choice Ministries loves.
It's officially summer here on the top half of the globe. For many folks, things slow down and people take vacations. That makes summer an ideal time to catch up on some of those things on your website "some day" list. Some of those things might include giving your website a new custom design, going through your website pages and eliminating or updating where needed, or tinkering with the newsletter module in preparation for a fall launch.
One of the challenges that often comes up during the summer is keeping the website up to date while you're on vacation. One of the new features we'll be making available soon is a User Access Manager that will allow you to set up additional administrators and set the specific pages and modules they can edit.
