Bethel Community Church
BCC came to me in spring 2026 with an urgent need to redesign their WordPress website. They had been working on the project for over a year, but struggled to make progress on their own and with other designers. I was thrilled to step in and help bring their story to life digitally, creating a beautiful, user-friendly website designed to serve both their internal stakeholders and first-time visitors for years to come.
DISCOVERY
Refresh the visual experience: Create a cleaner, more modern look that felt welcoming without losing the church’s personality.
Showcase their people: Incorporate recent photography to authentically represent BCC’s church family and community.
Lead with their values: Bring BCC’s core values to the forefront so visitors could quickly understand who they are and what they care about.
BEFORE
THE PROCESS
Iterate with intention: We explored multiple homepage directions to identify what felt most natural and best reflected BCC’s church family.
Build a flexible system: I developed reusable page templates and modular components to create consistency across the site while making future pages easier to build.
Design for familiarity: Consistent patterns and repeatable modules help users navigate the site more intuitively and create a cohesive experience from page to page.
HANDOFF
A great website isn’t just about delivering a polished final product. It’s also about giving stakeholders the confidence and tools to build on it long after launch. To make that possible, I provided instructional calls and video walkthroughs to demonstrate how to manage and update their newly designed site.
Clean up the foundation: I identified and resolved issues with outdated plugins and broken code to ensure the site was stable and ready for launch.
Collaborate through feedback: We worked through several rounds of feedback, refining the design and functionality until the client felt confident and excited to share the new website with their congregation.
Set them up for success: The final handoff gave their team a clear understanding of how to maintain the site and continue building on the design system moving forward.
