Does your congregation need a web presence? |
|
Does your congregation now have a website, and if you do then how long ago was it updated? Does it inspire? Will it invite?
We do not offer "Hosting packages", because we include them. We do not offer "Website Design" services, because they are a part of the package. We DO offer pre-designed HIGH quality templates on a CMS (Content Management System) with hosting included. When we put this all together we will save your congregation a lot on the expense of your website. These are not the "Cookie Cutter" websites that so many christian web services offer, and we do not charge a fortune for well designed websites, either. We offer the best value, because of our resonable fees, and the fact that you can make changes to your own site very easily.

Should my church have a website? |
|
An average of 45% of congregations have no web presence at all. Yet congregations with over 100 members have advertised in one way or another 65% of the time. It is a fact that people moving into your area will go to the Internet to "Shop" for a congregation. And members visiting your area will often go to the congregation during their visit that they found on the Internet.
The headlines are filled with shocking stories of how Satan is using the Internet to promote pornography, gambling, and materialism. Can Christian churches allow Satan to rule over this new technology, or does your congregation have a responsibility to proclaim the gospel to the whole world--even the cyber-world?
Yes, Satan is active in Cyberspace wanting to harm and prey on the unsuspecting. Is God leading your church to have a presence on the Internet so you can minister to and pray with them? |

Can we construct a web presence for your congregation? We have been hosting and building Christian websites since the early part of the Internet, back in 1995. We can provide you with a web presence, which includes: site design, hosting, providing a site that is customizable by your congregation and even a domain name. Our business is to provide congregations and not-for-profit organizations with a professional web presence. As a professional Web service we will assist you from beginning to end. Our specialty is trouble free web design and implementation of an effortless and extremely reasonably priced services.
.....While building a website directory for the my congregations home site, I had visited literally thousands of church sites. It was a disappointing and embarrassing trip. Money saving steps on congregations websites allowed pop-up ads (some that were truly unwholesome see example at end), even right on top of the front page. Many let their domain name expire, and pirates have taken and put put up any and every type of advertising. Most would pull up yard signs planted on your buildings property. Then why would someone let this happen?
Your congregation's website should be a place that people can easily find, a place to tell about your beliefs, and your goals, and a picture of what it is like each time you come together.
So this is why we now offer our complete services at such an extremely reasonable price, and includes: HOSTING, A HIGH IMPACT WEBSITE, and a DOMAIN NAME (that we monitor and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands).

Dynamic or Static Websites |
|
When thinking of building a website for your church, you have a major decision to make. You must decide whether you want a static or dynamic site. This may also mean that you need to realize that there are different types of websites. When you are cruising around on the internet, you will run into two different types of websites, static and dynamic. Static websites consist of a whole bunch of HTML files that are linked together by a series of hyperlinks.
Each page is just a file, and what you request from the server is exactly what the server gives you. The server finds the file and gives it back to you without adding anything to it. Think of the way you request a file, say a Microsoft Word file, from the hard drive on your computer. You click on the file, and the computer opens the file just as you saved it. This is the way static sites work.If a webpage ends in the extension .html, it is probably static. These are the easiest types of sites to build, and with a little thought, you can have a really nice one up in a matter of hours. You can make an HTML site look good and it will be functional. HTML sites are usually smaller sites that do not go through a whole lot of changes
The second type of site is dynamic. Dynamic sites often change their content frequently. A dynamic site consists of a whole bunch of files that exist on a database of some sort on the server. When you request a page in this scenario, the server assembles the page onthe fly from several files in the database. You might have one file that has your main text, one file that has your side bar, one file that has your header, and another file that has your footer.
