I had developed a site for the Bairs a couple years ago when they were just starting out to raise support to travel to Brazil to be missionaries. The site back then focused on letting people know what the Bairs would be doing and how they could support them.
Fast forward 2 years and they are completely funded and moved down to the Southern Hemisphere. The site now needed to change its focus and be a place where people could keep up with their daily activities.
The design was intended to be very casual and fun. It was inspired by coffee cup stains left on a table and since Brazilians love to drink coffee it just fit.
One of the Bairs only requests was to integrate their Twitter feeds into the page. Both Lucas and Theresa use Twitter regularly and now visitors are able to read their latest tweet while reading their latest blog post.
