The website redesign for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Perth needed to be easy for members to update, and filled with resources for new seekers and seasoned Christian Scientists alike.
Members supplied many images of Western Australian flora and fauna, and the church’s historical building, which make this website extra special and very unique to its location.
Built using the “Autumn Leaves” design.
Christian Science Society, Toowoomba contacted me to build a fresher, more modern website. The beautiful images of Queen’s Park and the famous flower show in Toowoomba they supplied bring a lot of warmth to their pages. When combined with their thoughtful wording there is a sense of originality and freshness to the website.
Built using “The Avenue” template.
During the redesign of the website for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Sydney, a key requirement was the ability to update the pages regularly with fresh content and images. The chosen template has attractive banners and galleries incorporated into its own page-builder, so that members do not need to work in multiple screens or use multiple plugins.
The “Christian healing today” page includes a gallery of images with links to articles and testimonies of healing that can be easily changed as needed.
Built using the “Autumn Leaves” design.
Talksthatchangelives.org. The lecture committees of the 6 branch churches in southeast Queensland wanted a joint website to advertise their Christian Science lectures, so that people could find out what was on in the one location and subscribe to one newsletter.
They wanted a website that showed activity and that was focused on the lecture events exclusively. It needed to meet searcher’s search terms, and each lecture should appear in Google event searches.
The result is a website that is bold with statements that meet people’s questions, and photographs of lecturers in action prominently displayed.
Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Newport Beach, California (Corona del Mar) wanted a website with a bright, lively, beachy feel, that welcomed visitors with joy and non-judgement.
The colour scheme, images, and text were chosen to reach out and bring a sense of inclusivity to the website visitor, no matter who they are. Members provided many beautiful images of Corona del Mar.
Built using the “Cherry Blossom” template.
Before settling on the final design of the website for Christian Science Society, Wynnum, the members spent a number of months praying with the Church Manual and the definition of “Church” in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
The result is a design that aims to express the principles of “local self-government”, “rousing the dormant understanding…to the apprehension of spiritual ideas”, and keeping “abreast of the times”. To keep the website fresh, all members take turns in a monthly team activity that starts with prayer for the community.
This design is based on “The Avenue” template, with extra pages added.
The members of Christian Science Society, Redcliffe wanted a website that was unique to them, modest, and reflective of their seaside location.
A lot of thought went into their website copy, with a focus on the spiritual journey of the visitor. They also supplied a number of images from their church and community.
The design is simple, elegant, and structured, with each page designed to encourage exploration and discovery. A circled image at the bottom of each page increases the sense of anticipation and delight.
Built using the “Morning Dew” design.
Azaleas in the springtime, grown on their own church grounds, form a stunning welcome to visitors of the website for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Jamestown, New York. This gorgeous array expresses the richness and abundance which the members sought to convey to their community.
Members use a feature post on the Homepage to respond to challenges faced by their community. A “Church History” page provides historical context to the establishment of the church in the early pioneering days of the Christian Science movement.
Built using the “Dappled Light” design.
Testimonials

Leah has been very professional, patient and a pleasure to work with. At the start, her questionnaire gave us the opportunity to think through and share the vision of what we wanted for our website: Warm, Welcoming, and providing Hope. Leah delivered a fresh website that embraces these qualities in the most effortless and joyful way.
I would recommend taking lots of photos (mobile phone quality) so you have original photography that Leah can select from.
Leah offered many suggestions and was always open to ours or explained why that request could not work. She is prompt and distance was no barrier to communication, we were able to tackle all issues with email, zoom call, phone and text. She treats her business seriously and has a genuine desire to help bring the CS community online. She does not talk down or lecture us on technology, instead very gently guides and gives options. She worked through lists of revisions and never complained.
I would highly recommend Leah as she knows what she is doing technically but most importantly she brings in qualities and values as a Christian Scientist. She gets it! And puts that into her designs.

Leah’s … proposal for a new web design, with a timeline, provided to our members a new focus with a questionnaire requiring our committee to expand on the needs of our church, our members, families with Sunday School children, our neighbourhood on the edge of the CBD together with a technical focus on ensuring the display works clearly on any device, particularly on a smart phone.
Leah’s technical skills, understanding of copyright requirements, artistic layouts and spiritual ideas flawlessly enhanced our new website complete with inviting links providing practical and uplifting connections for everyone. Our sincere thanks to Leah, who patiently enlarged our expectations, and provided assisted guidance for our church’s ability to self-perform future updates, delivering this inspirational website for First Church of Christ Scientist, Sydney.

RedJanet was integral to helping our branch achieve our website aims. We wanted to build a website that expressed the truth, love and activity of Christian Science and that was unique to our branch. We wanted it to accurately represent Christian Science and stay true to the intent of the Church Manual.
Our focus was on responding to the questions asked by people in our local area – both online and in person via our Reading Room and lectures. We wanted to provide clear, simple, uncluttered messages of Christian Science, to let Love shine through, and to link to the “ably edited” content on christianscience.com when fuller explanations were needed. The website was to be ‘fresh’ – to auto-update wherever possible, and to involve all branch members in ongoing input.
RedJanet supported our goals by supplying beautifully relevant images that spoke to the heart, arranging uncomplicated page layouts, managing email and advertising campaigns, teaching us how to find local keyword searches and adding meta descriptions to improve our search results. RedJanet’s attention to detail and deep love of Christian Science in action made our web-building and web-maintaining activity a joy.

RedJanet Web Design has been an invaluable asset to us during the development and hosting of our first-ever website.
The template choices are exceptional and project an up-to-date look and feel with excellent images. Leah knows the requirements from The Mother Church for choosing appropriate images and use of the church logo and other important details. We feel that with Leah’s help our website is beautiful, informative, and easy to navigate.
The quality of Leah’s work is excellent. She is courteous, professional and a pleasure to work with. We had a few phone sessions that were most helpful and productive. Her ForBranches.com website is very informative, easy to understand, and beneficial to the process.
Rates and terms of payment are clear and fair. When we wanted some additional work to integrate two email campaigns with our website the work was done promptly, professionally, and at an appropriate hourly rate. Monthly maintenance is worthwhile as Leah takes care of any compliance issues or minor changes for us. For instance, the timing of the Sentinel Watch podcast from The Mother Church recently changed, and Leah took care of the change for us.
Setting up a church PayPal account only requires an email address and linked bank account, and makes the international payment process with Australia easy and efficient. PayPal calculates the exchange rate and emails the invoice in US dollars.
Working with Leah at RedJanet Web Design will be a prayer-based metaphysical approach to your website that will be unique to the content of your church and community. It certainly was for us!

Our church wanted a site that was simple and easy to navigate, with short, manageable “pages” that would look good on all types of screens and using all the popular browsers. We also wanted it to reflect who and where we are and not require lots of maintenance, but be easily updated if necessary.
Another further requirement was that ongoing fresh material – like our Reading Room blog posts, Monitor news updates, and Sentinel broadcasts – should appear on the site automatically and seamlessly.
RedJanet has the expertise and tools to put this all together and take care of all the back-room work required and help us monitor its effectiveness. We feel comfortable and grateful that we are in safe and friendly hands.
