We were very please last year to be asked by Shalom Youth Project to help them to build a website. And I’m even more pleased to now say that their site is finished and live and handed over to Shalom to manage themselves.
You can see the site at www.shalchurch.org.uk.
It’s a WordPress site (of course), relying on Themify Builder to get the structure together.

How it happened
Shalom decided they wanted a site after the Skint TV programme earlier in 2015 in which they featured. People had been getting in touch as a result of the programme, but lack of a website was holding them back. They did have a Facebook page but this was poorly supported too.
So one of their volunteers helpfully did a bit of fundraising (running a wet half-marathon) to raise some funds which ultimately paid for VANEL to design and build the basic website.
Through a number of design meetings we worked with Shalom to get the structure of the website assembled by then end of 2015.
But a very large part of this project was to train John Ellis at Shalom to manage, edit and maintain the structure of the website himself. WordPress is powerful, but essentially extremely easy to work with. So after a bit of training and some follow on support, John uploaded more photos, edited text, laid out boxes and so on and helped get the site ready to be launched.
So by early 2016 the website was ready for public consumption.
Now
The website is live, John is adding regular news and is able to do all kinds of day to day edits and maintenance of the site. They are now working on their Facebook page and on adding donation functionality to the site too.
The site has been well received and really serves the purposes that the church and youth project set out from the beginning. John has been a fast learner and the gratification for me is in seeing a website that is of live and active use for a group who are doing edits themselves.
