Integration is Vital for Your Success
Google recently got lam-blasted by some critics for their integration of their privacy policy. Whether you really agree with what’s going on with the whole issue of internet privacy or not, you have to know that integration is key to the success of your business having an online presence. The last thing you need is to have to update a website, calendar, and Facebook page every time you want to communicate something to your customers. One of the many reasons we at iWaghost.com use WordPress as our underlying solution is the integration factor. WordPress’ use of pluggins to accomplish what it does gives it the flexibility to become the website you need that...
Read MoreWhat are Plugins & Why do they Matter?
You may have read some of my previous post and heard me mention plugins and be wondering to yourself, what in the world is a WordPress Plugin. A WordPress Plugin is really nothing more than an App for your website. The thing that you need to know is that Plugins can do just about anything you are interested in doing for your website and they are easy to install and start using. Let me give you an example: At my church, we record all of my sermons. I thought it would be great to start putting those sermons on my website and even cooler if we could have them go into a iTunes Podcast. I did a search on WordPress’ Plugin search page for...

Read MoreWhere do you get Your Graphics?
The reality is, most websites are not set apart by their infrastructure (which is vital) but by their graphics. The problem is, as a church planter, where do you find the killer graphics you need to make your website stand out? You are probably not in a position to hire someone (or at least would much rather not have to pay out to hire someone), and unless you are either exceptionally gifted artistically or happen to have a volunteer who is, you are probably stuck using Microsoft paint to eek out some pretty dull looking clip art. That’s where Creation Swap comes in! This site is fantastic – it’s a place where Christian artists who are doing...
Read MoreChurch Advertising – Going Past the Yellow Pages
It used to be in years past that churches advertised pretty heavily in the Yellow Pages. This was where the average person looking for a church went first. This is no longer the case. More and more people are looking for and finding their churches by visiting them on their website, not yellow pages. Obviously, you will have to decide if your church in your community needs to continue to advertise in the yellow pages, but whether your advertising in the yellow pages or not you still need to have a strong web presence. One way to instantly get the internet presence your church deserves is to use Google Adwords. Adwords are the search results google places at the...
Read MoreChurch Planting & Website Content
One big mistake church planters make is thinking that the design of the website is the most important part of creating a website. They focus all their energy on getting cool flash sliders and great looking color schemes with rockin graphics all to show off just how far along their new church is. While there is definitely a design element that church planters need to be thinking about – you should not neglect the power of good content! Content is the text that defines your site. When Google’s robots search your church planting website, they are not looking for design to rank it (this is called SEO). They are looking for good relevant content that will...
