A full-featured church website for the NKST (Nongo u Kristu u Sudan hen Tiv) Makurdi Central congregation. The site showcases church departments, events, sermon archives, and leadership. An admin panel manages all content. The platform integrates Google Analytics 4 with custom event tracking (scroll depth, time on page, device detection), and is Google AdSense-ready with ads.txt and GDPR-compliant privacy features.

Challenges & Solutions

Technical problems encountered during development and how each was resolved.

Implementing meaningful analytics for a church audience — where bounce rate and session duration metrics are less relevant than engagement with sermons and events — required custom GA4 event definitions. I defined "sermon_play", "event_rsvp", and "department_view" events with associated dimensions so church leadership could see what content genuinely resonated with the congregation.
