If you are a church or religious group that is considering getting a new website, the tips below may come in handy. Should you want additional tips or have some questions, our company is here to help make sure you get the very most from your website. Just give us a call or send us an email.
1. Make Sure the Website is Mobile Friendly
With more and more people turning to tablets and smartphones you need to make sure the website will work on these devices. Almost everything we develop is created responsively. This means the website will re-render itself to better fit on these devices as needed.
2. Keep the Basic Info Very Obvious
Almost every church web design solution we put together involves making sure the core info is very obvious. Your worship hours, location, and core religious beliefs should be front and center. Within a few seconds someone should be able to open your website and identify these things. Just be sure your goals are clearly addressed within the site's design. Often times, showing these basics are part of those core goals.
3. Have someone be Responsible for Ongoing Content Management
While our team can help you out with ongoing site updates, it is almost always a good idea to have someone on your end responsible for ongoing updates. Typically, church secretaries are best equipped to handle this type of thing as they are already putting together bulletins and much of the other info that would often end up on a website. Just be sure that someone on your end keeps the site updated as there is nothing worse on a church website than outdated holiday info or something along those lines.
4. Utilize Professional Content
If you want your website to look good you need to have high quality photos. While stock photos can help carry things along, there is nothing better than having actual pictures of your church, its members, and various pics that best represent you. Our team can crop and edit images, helping them look their very best but just understand the website's design quality is often linked to how good the content is. You also want to spend time with writing up your content so that it reads well. The better the content is, the better you will be serving all the guests and members who visit the website. Our religious web design solutions often include content assistance. Our team is here to help you make the best decisions possible as it relates to your content.
5. Brand Yourself Like a Business
Logos, color schemes, and styles matter for churches when it comes to having a professional image. Your website, booklets, as well as other marketing material should all match. Often times, start-up churches or churches who are rather old will lack in these areas. Looking your best and having some branding can help attract new members and it will make your message look sharp.
