✦ A PERSONAL APPLICATION FOR NETMINISTRYRAPID CITY · SOUTH DAKOTA
Design process / Independent concept

Built to welcome.
Made to last.

A church website needs to be inviting for first-time visitors—and manageable for the people updating it.

The brief

Not just a
pretty homepage.

Common Ground is a fictional congregation created solely for this application. Its sample goals: make service information obvious, welcome newcomers, organize teaching, and keep changes straightforward for staff.

This demonstrates transferable UX thinking and front-end implementation—not experience using NetMinistry's Advoc8 platform.
