So Close … Yet So Far : Why We’re Rebuilding All 5 Multisite Hubs

It can take from 6 months to a year or more to build an enterprise-level website like this one. In fact, it isn’t at all uncommon for a large team to take over 2000+ hours from initial planning to final content creation and deployment.

Markus and I are building 5 of them. Or, more precisely, we’re rebuilding them because a routine theme update destroyed all of our development sites.

Each. And. Every. One

More on that later.

The 5 hubs we’re building are this one for the Becoming Better Together project, and 4 which can be used to raise funds and other support for the project and, hopefully, earn a living for both Markus and me, are :

• Akweks : my global leather industry directory;
• desperatelySEEKING : my Yelp-like business directory and service providers for English-speaking expats in Vienna;
• faithCONNECTIONS : my (global) directory of the houses of worship and administrative offices of faith groups and parachurch organizations;
• preachersCAFE : my forums for clergy and others to discuss the Revised Common Lectionary readings for worship services.

How the Hubs Support Becoming Better

Each of the hubs, including this one, have a directory which targets a specific demographic.
