Harvest Glasgow
From WordPress to Craft to Statamic, with a searchable sermon archive
2015–2024Harvest Glasgow had been running on a basic WordPress site since 2009. As the church grew, their leadership needed a more capable platform that could handle custom page layouts and make over a decade of sermon recordings easily searchable.
I initially built a mobile-first website on Craft CMS, giving the leadership team full autonomy to create flexible page layouts without needing a developer. The real highlight is the sermon archive: a Vue.js and Algolia integration that provides instant search and filtering across hundreds of recordings by speaker, series, date, and topic.
The site was later migrated from Craft to Statamic to reduce the ongoing costs of commercial plugin licences, while keeping the same functionality and editorial experience.
