Current Gaines Baptist Association

Background
The Current Gaines Baptist Association had an outdated Squarespace website that was difficult to read, with inconsistent page designs and limited functionality due to their Basic Squarespace package.
Problem
The website's lack of consistency and outdated content made it hard for users to navigate and access information. The calendar wasn't being updated regularly, and form submissions weren't functioning correctly, hurting user engagement.
Solution
As a volunteer developer, I revamped the site to improve consistency and readability across all pages. I implemented a bot using Axiom.ai and Google Apps Script to partially automate calendar updates, working around the limitations of the Basic Squarespace package. I also fixed the form submission functionality to ensure reliable user interactions.
Results
The updated website has a cohesive design that makes information easier to find. Automated calendar updates have saved the association's volunteers time, and functional forms have improved user engagement. The project shows how to maximize limited resources while still delivering a better experience.
