Better ChurchSuite

Integrating ChurchSuite into your site?

ChurchSuite is a fabulous church administration system. Not only does it let you keep track of your church family, provide you with a means for them to give donations, send emails to everyone, set up rotas, it also lets you set up events - even letting people sign up if you're limited for space.

 
 

There are two ways to show ChurchSuite events on your website:

  1. The Simple Way - but you have very limited control how it looks
  2. The Better Way - when you wouldn't know it's actually not part of your website.

The Better Designed ChurchSuite Way

But what if you want events to look like they're part of your website. This is made possible by taking the data feed that ChurchSuite provides, adding some clever coding and making it look seamlessly beautiful.

 

Example #1 - Faith House

Faith House uses ChurchSuite's JSON feed to show upcoming events on their website. This implementation is especially clever as it detects how many events there are and optimises itself for the nicest. For example, if there are five events coming up, instead of showing a row of four events followed by just the one event on the next line, it shows the first two events at half the width of the website and the next three at a third of the width of the website.

Example #2 - Inspire Saint James Clerkenwell

Inspire uses ChurchSuite's JSON feed to show upcoming events on their website. This implementation separates Sunday services from other events that are on the horizon. This solution especially makes sense when a church has lots of events going on.
