Zion Evangelical Lutheran church in Deerfield, Illinois was founded in Highwood, Illinois almost 135 years ago by Swedish immigrants. They came to the area after The Great Chicago Fire to find work in producing building materials. In 1955 the church moved to its current location and remains to be active in the community promoting social justice.
I did a complete redesign of the existing site and have continued to update and maintain it. I worked with the E-team committee who controlled the site to determine what content we should include and how it should be displayed. Together we created some objectives:
- add more written content and photos
- organize information in a user-friendly way
- appeal to all demographics especially families with children
- use the advantages of a digital format to reach all church members and global community to the fullest extent
