We believe that our expertise with the internet church campus model will help your site be a success... a site that people are excited to tell their friends about... a site that will change lives for eternity.

The Visual Studio has been creating beautiful, powerful sites that are easy to manage since 1997. We have specialized in churches and non-profits during that time. We don't offer an "off the shelf" commercial product to met the internet campus needs of every church... we think that would be too limiting for several reasons.  First, the technologies available on the web are changing by the hour and we want to make sure our solutions keep pace.  Second, each church has very different ideas regarding what a campus should be and we want to offer our experience to help churches develop a campus that meets their specific needs and budget.  

While working with one of our clients, Mecklenburg Community Church, on the development of their campus (icampus.mecklenburg.org) we quickly discovered there are a ton of options and homework that needs to go into creating a campus.  This ranges from researching other internet church campuses, video streaming services, chat rooms, instant messaging, online giving, invite a friend options, hosting packages, statistics packages, social networks, etc.  After being immersed in this for months we deciding it would be a good idea to help other churches create their own campus, realizing that the majority of churches do not have an IT staff and dedicated web developers.   

Our process involves helping each church identify what features they would like to include on their site, highlighting the various options that are available and the pros and cons of each.  In some cases churches are very interested in getting a site up and running using free resources, while others are looking to build a more robust solution leveraging paid solutions.  Once the details of the site have been worked out we will design and build it, then integrate it with any 3rd party solutions that may be involved.
