Websites for Churches

Does your church need a website? Maybe the old website isn’t working out as well as you thought it would. What good does a website do if no one finds it or uses it? Your ministry will benefit by having a well thought out Internet presense, after all, it’s another way for you to communicate to your members and bring in new visitors. To keep the information fresh, you will have 24-7 access to post new content, edit existing information and remove old pages, events or articles. Please allow me the opportunity to present ways that you can have a professionally designed site, with features you only imagined you could have for a very modest cost. I’ll help you through the process step by step, from choosing a domain name (or using your existing name), to make a hosting choice, design creation and final publishing.

Some of the features available for your church website include:

  • Content Management System (CMS)
    • Let potential visitor learn about your congregation, add new programs as needed
    • Latest news and information
    • Add, edit and remove pages as needed
  • Calendar
    • Worship times and location

Websites for Clubs

Today it’s easier than ever for clubs and organizations to communicate with their members. In the past it was necessary for someone in the club to know HTML (web language) to publish a simple website and they were the only ones that could make changes. Now with the developments on CMS (Content Management Systems) any club member can easily learn to make changes to the website. Software like WordPress, Joomla and others allow content to be managed from your browser and for a surprisingly small fee they can be setup and operations in a short time.

my-clubAdvantages of having a club website:

  • No print costs
  • Available anytime day or night
  • Gain new members by having them find you.
  • Share club information (news, documents, photos, etc.)
  • Promote your clubs activities with an event calendar
  • Enhance communication by making it two way (forum)
  • Professional image and just plain cool

Does your club need a website? Please contact me, I’ll help you determine inexpensive options like creating a WordPress website or if you need something more complex, maybe a Joomla website would fit the bill. It’s less costly than you imagine and easy too.

New WordPress Website

After ten years in the web based technology business, I decided it’s finally time for me to do something fun (as if it wasn’t), so I created a WordPress website.  I’ve had an interest for a long time and did a lot of research. Basically I found out it’s pretty easy getting started, but it takes time, time that a lot of people don’t have available to devote to creating a showcase for thier passions.

So what I have been doing is finding ways to help people setup a simple blog. The themes, plugin’s and tools that can make it an effective way to get thier ideas known and build a community of like minded people.

There are hundreds of individuals and groups dedicated to the expansion and development of the WordPress blog. Some create excellent themes like this one by My Mobiles. Others create plugin’s for just about anything you want to do. I hope to make my contibution by helping others get thier own WordPress blog.

If you need help please feel free to contact me.
