Requirements:

I had to be careful with the use of images. In religion the use of images can represent a religious belief, denomination, stereo-type etc. I was asked to steer clear of any images that could potentially label the church.

Convert hard copy documents into binary data. Meaning, take written works and translate them into text for the web.

Optimize and submit the website to major search engines, and aim for placement in the top 30 search results.

Solutions:

I used graphics to add visual appeal to the website all the while meeting the requirement of not using images that could label the church.

I used software and computer equipment to quickly convert the hard copy text documents into computer copies. After which the text was easily added to the website.

I optimized the website, submitted to major search engines and to some directories.

Final Product:

The Emmanuel baptist church is happy with the website. Expectations were met and some were exceeded. At the time of this writing the website ranked in the top 3 results returned for more than one targeted search phrase in Google and Yahoo. With many results returning #1 placements.
