Happy Cog to Redesign the PC(USA) Website

in Design, PC(USA)

I have great hope for the Presbyterian Church (USA). Why, you ask? Is it because Bruce Reyes-Chow is our current moderator? Nope. I mean, that’s great, but – that doesn’t truly give me hope. Is it because Presbymergent is helping church leaders around the United States think creatively about the future of the church? Nope. That is exciting, but it’s not truly giving me hope for the PC(USA).

So, why am I hopeful for the PC(USA)?

Because Jeffrey Zeldman and the creative team of Happy Cog will be redesigning the PC(USA) website before the next GA in 2010. There isn’t an official announcement on the PC(USA) site but I spoke with someone on the PC(USA) web-team and it’s official. So, Bruce will probably help the denomination, and Presbymergent can help, but…perhaps Happy Cog will be the true savior of our denomination.

thank goodness! It is a sad commentary when someone (me!) who knows the denominationcan’t find stuff on it!

long-time lurker, first-time commenter, but wanted to give you a bar suggestion for your bday. “The Trappist” in Oakland. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-trappist-oakland …not a huge venue, but this is where you get REAL beer.

Wow, we had our kick off meeting with Happy Cog a couple weeks ago and people are already blogging about it? Awesome! Like Dana said the web team here at PC(USA) are incredibly stoked to be working with HC and are looking forward to the months ahead.
