History

Earliest site

Gary Ihar installed the first instance of WordPress in early 2016. This instance featured a WP-Meetup plugin developed by Ryan Flannagan. This plugin fetched event information from the meetup group of the Career Network Ministry and created posts for each event. The plugin provided an event calendar for displaying upcoming events on an event page. 3-5 upcoming events were also featured on the Site pages as a widget.
The Site visitors could RSVP for the upcoming events while just clicking on the buttons published on the Site. If someone was not a user of Meetup.com, or not a member of the group, the plugin directed this user to the registration pages.
The plugin crashed the Site several times. Gary Ihar and Ryan Flannagan exchanged several emails, but when it became clear the plugin developers abandoned its development projects, leaders of CNM Digital Services, Gary Ihar and Sergei S. decided to move on to other options.

Enterprise-level site

While being inspired by Dr. Mallard Owen's vision to equip the Ministry with enterprise-level technology, the team launched a new version of the Site. The version was built on a Liferay instance and featured the video introduction of the Ministry on its front screen. To ease the video upload, later just a short snippet of attendees walking in the Ministry's hallway was left; the complete video was available on the "Watch" click.
