3onesix

Hey, all. I am glad to announce the new layout and logo for Ministry(Starter), along with the logo for 3onesix. We went with the idea of the arrow, symbolizing moving forward. So many bad CMSs are out there that are hard to use or weak, and we are intending to revolutionize, and move past those.

The Ministry(Starter) logo is symbolizing hitting “play” on the web. The box with a “play button”/arrow is just the start of your online ministry. For the 3onesix logo, we went with the same arrow idea, but what we are for. The sound waves moving outward symbolizes the web and also our Christian mission is proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The main focus of our sound is up to the heavens, praising the Lord of the mission He laid before us.

As for the new layout for Ministry(Starter), we had it in the plan when we launched, but had other things to do. The layout is geared towards providing information on the system, and the new “Playground” section (yet to be populated) will be the home of a sleuth of video tutorials/previews, a discussion system to talk about Ministry(Starter), and a demo. We, of course, have the demo running, and want you to play with it. It is in very early stages (feature-wise), and thus not fully debugged.

More to come. Yes, we have another (relatively large) update coming soon to the demo. We have three more sections under way, and will likely have those up next week. We also have been working on the actual Javascript framework for Ministry(Starter). A lot of functionality are being added via Javascript (drag n’ drop, for one) and a lot more are to come. The framework currently includes basic effects, AJAX functionality, and will have drag n’ drop soon. We will, within the next two weeks, reprogram a majority of the photo gallery Javascript to make it more efficient and faster.
