Pantano Christian Church

We have some major site updates and new features planned for release over the next few months. The Pantano Web Team is working on making the site user-friendly and much easier to navigate for visitors. Here’s what may be in store:

• Switch to drop-down menus - our menu options are necessarily increasing so we need to make room aesthetically for those additional options. We’re working on a JavaScript menu to accomplish this task. The drop-down menus will replace the current side menu.
• Theme refresh - while red, yellow and offwhite may have seemed pleasant to look at when we built our first WordPress theme, it’s time to start fresh. The designers are working on consistency in color, branding and style to match other Pantano publications (Handbook, etc).
• Story submission - Stories Along the Path is a great way for stories to be published and heard. We’re working on an easy, no-hassle method for submitting your own stories to be included in that list.
• Media Library - the weekend podcast has been a huge success; there are several subscribers to the feed, and even more people browse to the Weekend Messages section to listen or download recent messages. We’re going to expand this functionality to include more than just Weekend Messages and more than just audio. Podcasts from classes, the 222 Bible Study, videos we play on the weekend, published print material as PDFs, etc.
• Forums - a Pantano webforum has been in the works for some time, but we’ve been delayed with a few technical and social implications. The forums will be made publicly available soon.
• Life Group listings, registrations, event calendars, etc. - The Pathway Team is considering some new software to manage our database, and it will provide us with many dynamic tools on the website that we haven’t been able to incorporate yet.

Be on the lookout for these changes! As always, your feedback is extremely welcome.
