Rock is amazing, but in 2024, the Demo Site doesn't do Rock justice.

Jon Edmiston said that a major aspect of Rock is its content management system, and at RX24 he said he wants to do better is connecting with smaller churches. It seems that the Demo site could be easily changed to accomplish these goals.  

The Demo site seems to function in two ways -

1. As a showcase of why someone should choose rock. 
2. An environment for developers/designers to examine how things can be accomplished. 

The current Demo Rock site is very barebones on the front end, and feels very dated. In some of the most important areas, like content channels, there is basically nothing there. Sure you can look at other websites running rock, but you cannot look at the lava. 

The back end has examples but it only give examples that make sense for very large churches. The mobile app is a major part of Rock but there are zero in-instance examples to start. 

Suggestions: 

On the frontend 

• Two or Three content Channel Examples - Blogs, Devotionals, or Some other Regular Content.
• Fleshed out examples and feature pages that show off content channel features. 
• Modernized Webdesign

On the Backend 

• Fleshed out examples where there are currently none at all (prayer) or few events. 
• Examples of the different Event Types
• Examples of how Rock can be setup for different size churches include the homepage, Workflows, and other features that have significant differences as church size changes. 
• Give multiple examples of Dashboards and homepages. (the default homepage kind of feels like an inflight magazine)
• A demo mobile app baked in. With a few pages demonstrating different features and styles that are possible.
