How Did Accelerate Help?

‍In 2024, Accelerate Web Growth provided strategic consulting to enhance Ekklesia International's digital presence and expand their reach. The consulting focused on:

1. Website Strategy

The first phase of consulting focused on developing a clear website strategy that would serve Ekklesia International's unique mission. We analyzed their current site architecture and user flow, identifying opportunities to better guide visitors through their content. Our recommendations included restructuring the navigation to more clearly communicate their mission and vision, while making it easier for visitors to understand their international network and ministry model. We paid particular attention to ensuring the site structure would serve both their current partners and potential new connections.

2. Technical Improvements

Our technical analysis revealed several opportunities to enhance the website's performance and user experience. We provided specific recommendations for improving site speed and mobile responsiveness, crucial factors for their international audience who may be accessing the site from various devices and connection speeds. We also suggested implementing enhanced analytics tracking to better understand user behavior and engagement patterns. These technical improvements were designed to create a more reliable and accessible platform for their ministry partners around the world.

3. Building Pages for Events

The final area of focus was developing a robust approach to event pages on their website. We created templates and guidelines for consistent event page structure that would work across their various types of gatherings, from training sessions to conferences. Our recommendations included best practices for event registration and management, with particular attention to the unique needs of their international audience. We provided guidance on how to integrate these event pages seamlessly with their existing systems while maintaining appropriate security measures for sensitive locations.

The consulting work equipped Ekklesia International with a framework for strengthening their digital presence while maintaining security considerations appropriate for their sensitive ministry contexts. This positions them to better connect with potential partners and share their vision for gospel work through international churches.
