Announcing the Launch of New Tribes Missions

Tue, 01 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500

New Tribes Mission (NTM) is a ministry dedicated to helping local churches train, coordinate and send missionaries to unreached people groups. After recently rebuilding their main website on expression engine, NTM changed directions and decided to rebuild everything on top of Site Stacker because of its ability to handle their multilingual, multi-site needs. Site Stacker was also chosen because of its ability to address NTM's growing desire to develop and launch new and creative web applications in a rapid and sustainable manor.

To build and implement their site, they partnered with our developers and designers and began the project in late 2011. We are pleased to announce that the site went live Friday, April 27 of this year.

WMtek Chosen to Build School Administration Software

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0600

After a weeklong consultation trip back in February of this year, WMtek was hired by New Tribes Missions to build school administration software for their multi-location Bible Institutes. We covered lots of ground on the trip—figuratively and literally; we went to three states in five days! The trip went by quick, but it was very beneficial, to say the least.

This project has been one in a string of recent projects for WMtek where Site Stacker had been selected over large, out-of-the-box box solutions.

When the Site Stacker solution for New Tribes Missions is complete, it will allow our partners to manage a whole host of school administration functions including (but not limited to):

Manage Attendance
Manage Transcripts
Manage Assignments
Manage Grading and Alerts
Manage Courses
Manage Applicants
Manage Registration (and more!)

Start thinking about the possibilities this new feature of Site Stacker will open for your organization and how you can take advantage of it in the future.

Precept Ministries Launches their New Site Using Site Stacker!

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Time sure does fly when you’re building websites. It’s only been eight short months since we began our partnership with Precept Ministries back in July of 2011. Their new site was launched last month; revamped using Site Stacker and given a whole new look. There’s more to be unleashed this spring, as Precept will open up a social network that is specifically based on their local model of Inductive Bible Study. Users will be able to connect with each other, get involved at a deeper level and keep updated with all the happenings at Precept. Other features of the network will include online training for District, Area, and Bible Study leaders, a recruitment tracking system, a leader application process, and much more!

Big On The Details

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

This post is more of a continuation from the previous article on Web Form Management. If you haven't already, check it out. You'll get a pretty good idea on just how easy creating a web form can be.

In Site Stacker's Data Group Management Tool, you can create and save data groups that can be used in your web forms. For example: states and countries are both long lists that are frequently used in a web form. If these lists are in your Data Groups, you won't have to manually type in the same list over and over again.

The best part is, these lists aren't just limited to web forms either. They can be imported to widgets, or other CRM tools that require lists of information. At WMtek, we try to make things as easy as possible for the client to manage themselves. This Data Groups Management tool is one way to show that we are big on the details, and we make the most of the tools we make!

Introducing MakaziVille

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

WMtek recently went live with "MakaziVille," an Avatar-based adventure game where kids can learn about Bible translation. This project was a result from a partnership between the Duggar family and The Seed Company, who wanted to create a fun and exciting way to show families the importance of getting the Bible to unreached people groups.

The journey of MakaziVille takes you through ten levels which include devotions, and over 400 games, quizzes, and other educational challenges the user must complete in order to build and expand their village. Some challenges even take the user away from the computer to do with other people, incorporating the importance of reading your Bible, praying, and sharing your faith.

We are privelaged at WMtek to have been able to team up with the Duggar family and The Seed Company to create a project like MakaziVille; to use Site Stacker to reach more people with the gospel and further Christ's kingdom.

This is just another glimpse of what Site Stacker can do. Be sure to check it out!

Web Form Management

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Another handy feature of Site Stacker is the ability to create your own web forms. With dozens of presets already created, you can make a detailed form in minutes. Among those presets are elements such as input, number and password fields, a field for uploading files, and fields to reference a specific date or time. There's also a dropdown field, buttons to reset and submit, an HTML editor, and many more. Each of these elements have been already styled to appear a certain way; all you have to do is choose which ones you need and customize what you want your form to say.

Our drag and drop feature makes it easy to arrange elements on your webform, as well as organizing all the web forms you create. With Site Stacker's Web Form Management tool, you can store as many forms as you need and use them over and over again.

Chess Players of the Web

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Here at WMtek, we put the creative process at a high priority in order to establish a solid foundation for each project. We are constantly aware of the expectations our clients have for us to create a website that meets their needs. That is why we research all the possiblilities and strategically choose which methods are right for them.

That's right, we strategize. You might call us "the chess players of the web," in that, we have to look ahead to see what would happen when we do things a certain way. We also look back at what has happend before so that we can prevent future road blocks, and we are always on the lookout for new ideas, resources and managing tools. Because hey, you can't win at chess confined to one space.

We Hate Conferences, BUT...

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500

WMtek had its first Site Stacker Conference this October, lasting from the 13-15 in Orlando, Florida. It’s true, as the title says. We really don’t like the idea of sitting cooped up in a room for hours listening to monologue after monologue. But, this was a different kind of conference. The reason we decided to have this conference was to bring together all those who have chosen Site Stacker to power their website and show them the different ways Site Stacker was being used. Of course, we could have just told you these things, but we decided that a phone call (or mass email) would not have been the best way to convey it.

Instead, we had our clients show each other how they were using Site Stacker. Representatives from Wycliffe, Liberty Counsel and School of Law, Word of Life, Far East Broadcasting Association, New Tribes Missions, Judicial Action Group and several more attended the conference, making a great turn out for our first year. They were able to hear from each other about their organizations, their goals and specifically how they are using Site Stacker to accomplish those goals. Many of them spoke or gave presentations; on several occasions, we even got into brainstorming. Which, would have made a successful conference on it’s own, for the amount of time we could have spent on it. It was just great to see people who are using technology in different ways, but for the same purpose, come together and team up to fulfill their common mission. It truly was an uplifting weekend.

A New Partnership

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500

It is quite a day when we start another project here at WMtek. We are not you're ordinary web building company. We don't just take the list of things you want to be done, come back in a few months with it completed, and that would be that. No, our approach makes it impossible to have just a consumer-supplier relationship. If you choose Site Stacker to power your website, you can be certain that we will construct it to be unique to your goals. Site Stacker does many things for many organizations, and with every project we take on, we find that it can do more and more.

It is our clients that keep Site Stacker current, as well as a top competitor in modern technology. We are privelaged to be partners with Wycliffe Bible Translators, The Seed Company, Liberty Counsel, Traditional Values Coalition, Judicial Action Group, Far East Broadcasting Association, Word of Life, and many more. We are especially excited to have recently grown that list by partnering with Precept Ministries International. We look forward to discovering more things Site Stacker can do by this partnership, and then make them available to you!

New Site Launched: Far East Broadcasting Company

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500

Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) is a global Christian broadcast ministry that develops and delivers programs to listeners introducing them to Jesus Christ, so they will know Him as their Savior, Lord, and King.

Reaching 3 billion people with their broadcasts, FEBC knew they needed a system that would be highly intuitive and adaptable for their website. Site Stacker was the perfect platform to deliver their current needs and to launch them out into new technology endeavors; providing them with a smart content publishing strategy and so much more.

The new, revamped FEBC site launched in September. Look for the mobile version and other language versions of their website soon!
