Website Redesign

Every few years, an organization’s website needs a refresh. In the coming months, your Northern Illinois Conference communications staff will be preparing a redesign of the NIC website, umcnic.org.

Your Northern Illinois Conference communications staff is working with Big Heart Creative to redesign the NIC website.

Our priority is to make the site useful and easy to navigate for the site’s lay and clergy users. Your viewpoint is essential to our success.

In late summer 2023, we surveyed NIC members to find out what they need from our website. The results will inform the new design.

Your feedback will help us create a helpful, easy-to-use website.
