Stable Design Group + theAM
Your partners in creative web communications
SDG is a full-service creative firm blending tradition and innovation in strategic web design and consulting. SDG specializes in meeting you where you are—whether you're looking for some communications advice, strategic web presence, identity branding, or a high quality website. Consider us your team's guide to strategic web communications. SDG is led by Jase Miller, a veteran church planter and warden of a Chicago-based church in theAM. We understand the unique pressures of church planting and the culture of theAM, and we're eager to partner with you in God's mission.
We specialize in thinking outside the box to meet your unique needs, but here are some categories to help you determine how we can best help you. Our goal is to help your ministry thrive—from its most humble beginnings to God's richest blessings—for the sake of the Kingdom of Christ. Start a conversation with us.
Consulting
Consider how to connect with those outside the church as well as those in the fold. We want you to become aware of your options, including the use of free web services that can serve as significant channels for your communications needs. We provide guidance and answer questions, including helping you think through your communications strategy.
Design
We design with your needs in mind. Every pixel is strategic. We consider design to be more than art. Storytelling, word choice, typography, navigation structures, usability and search engine optimization are all integral to good design. We'll work with you to establish your web presence.
Development + Production
In addition to taking good code seriously, we have experience with audio and video production and podcasting. We are committed to W3C standards coding for XHTML & CSS, assuring the best consistency across different platforms and web browsers. We also work with XML, RSS, Javascript, Ruby on Rails and PHP for more dynamic needs.
Starter Site Packages
The launch site is intended to meet the start-up needs of a typical church plant or a small church just getting started on the web. Both the launch site and the standard site are designed as a foundational destination for those interested in your church requiring little to no maintenance. The site is basic—but elegant—aimed at clarity of communication and containing all the vital information about your church for those who want to connect with you. Imagine that someone sees a flyer with www.yourchurch.org on it, and when they visit the site they get all the basic information they need to learn who you are, when you meet, and how to reach you if they have questions. Visitors could even sign up to receive email updates from you, or view an interactive map. If you want more than a launch site, but less than the advanced project, you can integrate weblogs and RSS subscription features along with some higher-end options for customization by choosing the standard site.

With the launch of the Anglican Mission's new site, SDG has created some website packages specifically for the needs of churches and church plants in theAM. Below are details of some starter packages and our advanced design package. These are deeply discounted for theAM. Contact us if you have questions, need something different, or would like some help thinking about what options are best for you and your ministry. Thanks for taking the time to consider our services. We're excited about being a part of your mission.
SDG has also established theAM Fund for those who would be blessed by some additional funding for web communications projects through SDG. Let us know if this interests you.
Blessings,

What is a launch site? 
We will work with you to setup your web presence quickly and effectively and coach you through some of the key questions you'll need to consider when it comes to your communication strategy.
The launch site is intended to meet the start-up needs of a typical church plant or a small church just getting started on the web.

Scenario
IMAGINE that someone sees a flyer with www.yourchurch.org on it, and when they visit the site they get all the basic information they need to learn who you are, when you meet, and how to reach you if they have questions. Visitors could even sign up to receive email updates from you, or view an interactive map.
