A small-town church’s website, rebuilt hand in hand with its pastor.
Creston Christian Church started with a simple one-page website we built from a single visit. Working closely with Pastor Jae Rhee, we have since grown it into a full online home for the congregation: every sermon and column, 117 years of history, photo albums, a live Zoom link, and pages sized for older eyes.
The challenge
Creston Christian Church had no website and no one to build one, so our first version was deliberately simple: one visit, a few days, and a welcoming page that went live. It worked, but it could only say so much. Pastor Jae had years of sermon summaries, newspaper columns, photographs, and a congregation history going back to 1909, and nowhere to put them. Many of the people who rely on the site are older, and some join worship from home.
What we did
Rebuilt around the pastor’s feedback
Pastor Jae reviewed each round and told us what worked and what didn’t, from the colors and the menus down to the wording on individual pages. The site you see today took shape over several of those rounds, and it reads like the church because he shaped it.
Every sermon and column, in one place
Pastor Jae’s weekly sermon summaries and his newspaper column now each have their own page, searchable by date, so a visitor can catch up on a Sunday they missed or read the whole run of a series.
117 years of history, kept and shared
We published the congregation’s full 60-page history book, listed every minister since 1912, and organized years of church events into photo albums, with a clear way for anyone to ask that a photo come down.
Made for the people who use it
We set larger type throughout for older readers, made the menus easy to use on a phone or with a keyboard, and put the Zoom link for live worship right on the home page for members who can’t make it in person.
Updates with a quick email
The church still never logs in to anything. Pastor Jae sends new sermons, columns, photos, or changes, and we publish them.
The result
- A one-page start grown into a complete online home for the congregation.
- Built in close collaboration with Pastor Jae, round by round.
- Every sermon summary and column published and easy to browse.
- The church’s full history, ministers, and photo albums preserved online.
- Larger type and a front-page Zoom link for older and homebound members.
- Updates still handled with a simple email.

Barr-Tech Composting
Barr-Tech runs a large composting facility near Sprague, taking in organic material and shipping finished compost across Eastern Washington. We built them a custom system, Yard Intelligence, that connects to their scale and turns raw weigh-ins into clear dashboards, so the team can see who received how much compost, track what comes in and goes out, and reconcile it all with accounting.

A restaurant locked out of its own slow, fragile website got it rescued, then rebuilt on a modern foundation that loads almost instantly, is far harder to attack, and needs no constant upkeep, with menu updates done the same day at no extra cost.

H&M Custom Meat
Howard and Mia Larson run a family-owned custom butcher shop and aren’t tech people, so they had no website at all. We built them a fast one with clear prices and got them found on Google, so now the phone rings with real orders instead of price questions.

Holistique is Dr. Darvish’s clinic. After paying thousands for slow websites that were hard to maintain, they came to us to rebuild them. We now also look after the clinic’s network and email remotely, and handle whatever other tech support they need.
