GMI’s 2013 review of many non-profit websites, awarded NTM top place for overall site appeal!
“In the 2004 version of the study, New Tribes Mission was also a very well-liked site. One of the things we noticed both then and now was the tone with which NTM presents the challenge and opportunity of frontier mission to visitors. The site is clear that working among the world’s unreached peoples is challenging, but that God grants the courage and NTM is ready and able to provide the training and experience needed.
Finally, we love the photography throughout the site. Beautiful and memorable.”
Macon Hare shared this encouraging report with our team along with a laugh — “And guess what? We’re changing the site!”
But it’s all for the better! Overall, the main great thing about the new website is that it has responsive mobile design, so it’ll be easier to view on mobile devices than our current site. It’s an important feature with today’s multi-device culture. The new website also has spaces for video headers, which I’ll be working on, and has the ability to expand our featured story in NTM@work magazine with more images.
Monday found our team meeting with John from WMTek to review the news sections on our current site — and see how those pages will be developed for the new site.
Joel Potter has been leading our team in revising the new site over the past year, and WMTek has been creating the pages designs. Now we’re just nailing down a few details so WMTek can finish the design and enter the content. I may be joining in at some point to help get the data entered. We anticipate the new site to go live in the first quarter next year.
Overall, it was a great meeting and we accomplished a lot as a team in editing the new site’s sitemap.
Here are a few pics from the day:
