Just ship the box!
A friend told me that sometimes you just have to ship the box! But it’s hard, we often look at the box, and think we can get more stuff in the box…or we can decorate the box a little more…sometimes we just want to hang onto the box.
Well…the box was taken to FedEX and shipped. The new LifeChurch.tv site shipped! We still have a lot of work to do, tons of tickets open in Unfuddled….so we will be shipping out a lot of little boxes in next few days and weeks. Can I tell you how much I do not like multiple browsers! The world would be a better place without Internet Explorer.
Enjoy the box!

The site does look awesome. And I hate using Internet Explorer, I don’t even use it on my pc.

The work you guys do continues to amaze me…Great job!

Love it. I understand how hard it is to quit tweaking and release it. You just have to accept the fact that there is never web site that is completely done. If your site is done, it means you have nothing left to say. Good work, digeratis.

Terry, that thing is incredible. Not only in look but UI and organization of information. LifeChurch.tv FTW.

Looks Amazing!
What is wrong with IE?

I love the new look, and much easier to access important information. SCORE!!

The new site looks fantastic! Thanks for all your hard work.

Late to the party, but excited nonetheless! I love it, Terry. The digeratis pulled out a big win on this one. Congrats to you and the team. Buy a keg of root beer and throw down for a day or two! (But then get back to work.)
Cross-browser compatibility is the bane of any web developer. But it’s not impossible! Any reason you guys opted not to include conditional comments and separate IE-specific stylesheets? I find that it helps to keep things organized and is simple to remove CSS hacks for versions of IE I cease supporting. It also lets you leave rules written for standards-compliant browsers alone, so your base stylesheet is perfect for the better browsers, while the IE specific styles overwrite them when needed.

I difinitely noticed a difference in the website from using IE at work and Firefox at home. I would think a huge portion of the usual Lifechurch goer would access the website with IE. Accessing through IE is not near as easy. The campus staff and central staff links on the OKC campus page isn’t working just in case that bug hasn’t been noted yet.
But overall I like it, nice work

[...] should have. I use the maybe on purpose. Isn’t there always more we could do? But we have to ship the box at some point so here we go! I ran around today getting the last of our print materials, signs, [...]

Site looks great!
What made you guys decide to use Kohana (based on CI) instead of just using Code Igniter itself?
February 24th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Hey guys…thanks for all the great responses and feedback. The team and I really appreciate it.
Victor- I think my team would be much better at talking about that in detail..but from what I know Kohana is a little more mature and had many additional features that we really needed. We also liked the fact that Kohana was community driven, not so company driven. So far so good…we have really liked the framework.

Terry,
I love that you guys put up a digerati page. I think it is great that you guys are so focused on letting people know the process behind the work that you do.
On a different note I thought you guys were using CodeIgnitor as your framework? When did you make the switch to kohana?
