Content Plan & Design Direction

Before building, we define the sitemap, user journeys, and visual identity so the final product feels like your church and serves clear goals.

Content Plan & Design Direction

Back to Process

Establish structure, voice, and aesthetics that faithfully reflect your ministry before a single line of code is written.

Introduction: Planning the House Before Pouring Concrete

Discovery reveals needs; the Content Plan translates them into a precise floor plan for pages, journeys, and visuals. The sitemap, wireframes, and style guide are defined here, so building is fast and faithful to the mission.

Inputs
Outputs

1. Planning the Foundation: Sitemap, Wireframes, and Style

The sitemap acts like a home’s floor plan; wireframes sketch the rooms and pathways; the style guide sets materials and finishes. Together they prevent costly rework by aligning structure and aesthetics before build.

2. Content Architecture: Templates and Voice

Ministry‑specific content templates accelerate writing, while messaging and voice guidelines keep communications consistent across departments, like shared sheet music so the whole choir sings in key.
