I recently developed a site for Camp Lutherhaven. There are several unique features and customizations of the site that I’d like to highlight and share at some point. I’ll save many of them for another time.
For now, let me share how I went about solving a unique challenge and how you might benefit from the solution. As an outdoor ministry who provides seasonal programming, they requested that the site reflect these seasonal changes. At certain times of the year, they want to hide or highlight specific menu items. For example, once summer staff have been hired, the Apply Now menu item can be hidden until mid/late fall. They also expressed interest in changing the background image of the site depending on the season of the year in order to give site visitors a more realistic feel of the seasonal atmosphere of camp. Instead of having to remember these changes each year and manually make the necessary edits, they requested that such things be automated.
