Christ In Me MinistriesConceptual Model

Presented By: Nicole Burrell, Erica Moore, Kimberly Sledge

System OverviewThe purpose of this project is to create a web presence for members and associates of Christ In Me Ministries. The ministry spreads the Word of God to Christians and non-Christians alike. Currently, the members communicate by e-mail. Their goal is to further the growth of the Loving Charity Prayer Band #2. This website will serve as a central point of contact, containing monthly newsletters, sermons, daily proverbs, and poems. It will provide the historical background of the ministry and The Loving Charity Prayer Band #2. The site will also support product expansion, outreach programs, and possible links to the associated organization.

Lexicon• Christ In Me Ministries: This is the identity of

minister Charles A. Mason in Christ. It describes his goal which is uplifting the name of Christ and spreading the gospel by sharing the Word of God through singing, preaching, and teaching.

• The Loving Charity Prayer Band #2: This is a non-profit organization and an associate organization of Christ In Me Ministries. They focus on meeting people’s needs outside of the church walls through prayer, biblical studies, and financial assistance.

Heuristic Evaluation Results

Affordances, Mappings & Constraints

• Pros:– Lots of helpful affordances: obvious links, easy-to-use

order form, and simple prayer request form– Object appearance and distribution helps to identify

the constraints of the page through a clear visualization of the page layout

• Cons:– Slight change on the background color could also be

helpful in the differentiation between the different parts of the layout

– Consider putting the links across the top of the page

Language

• Pros:– Language on the page seems consistent with the

client and potential users– Language on this website seemed very

straightforward

Layout

• Pros:– Clear and consistent with the expectations of users

accustomed to web navigation, and very easy to understand and navigate for those with little or no experience with web navigation

– Excellent Layout! Keeps with common conventions• Cons:

– Layout needs something to “spruce” it up a bit.– Might want to make the links on the left one

background color and the center text another color.

Color

• Pros:– Color combination easy to read and it gives some

solemnity to the Web Page

• Cons:– Might want to try more colors to keep readers

attention– Background color too dark

Tone & Etiquette

• Pros:– Very formal throughout– Good for site since it is a religious site– Down to earth slightly formal tone created the perfect

ambiance for this subject matter

Special Considerations

• Pros:– Both users with and without experience with Web

Pages should not have any problem navigating through the Web Page

– People with disabilities should not have trouble navigating through the pages

• Cons:– Website does not seem to have many pictures, but

you may still want to include alt text for the few that are there (especially on the order pages)
