Where 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...

Church Advertising – Going Past the Yellow Pages

Church 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.

Church 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...

Elephant In The Room?

If your organization has ever paid to have a website designed from scratch, you know that often there is an elephant in the room when it comes to the price. Often website designers will price by the hour with so much up front and estimates of what the total will look like. But what they are really telling you is that the cost of your website design is an unknown (and for good reason – they have no idea how long it will take them to code and design all the various items). The problem for you, the customer, is that your website could end up costing you $2,000 or $15,000 (I have website design buddies who have ended up charging this much on a project that was...

Why WordPress for your Church Plant?  or Top 10 Reasons a Church Plant should Use WordPress

If you are a church planter, you NEED to learn about WordPress (hopefully, the articles we supply are beneficial in your education)!  WordPress has been one tool that is indispensable to the church plant I lead.  Over and over again we get comments from guests about how the Website was the the number one reason they checked us out!  Your website matters (although, if you are a church planter, I probably don’t have to convince you of that)! Your website will be one of the most, if not THE most important marketing piece your church will produce – the problem is a matter of time and money.  It used to take both to make a killer website, WordPress has...
