The Haven of Rest, a Christian radio program started by Paul Myers, has been broadcast across the globe since 1934 delivering listeners a message of encouragement, hope, and redemption.

Now operating under the name “Haven Today” – the program reaches older and newer listeners alike not just on the radio, but also via podcasts, their website, and the mobile app.

I worked with the team at Haven to rebuild the audio player for there website. The new audio player enables those following their ministry to listen to the daily Haven program directly on the website without needing to install software or download files.

The new player integrated directly with the existing audio library on the WordPress website. This way, when a specific program was opened in the player, the player could also display the related recommend resource that went along with it. This allowed listeners to easily locate and purchase said resource, enriching their experience while also driving more financial support towards the ministry. A win for all involved!

The new player was developed using the WordPress APIs, AmplitudeJS, and JavaScript.
