Effective Website
BySo sorry it has been a while! This has been a killer week for Sarah and me!
Well, I came across this post this morning and it made me think about all of those suppossed “experts” out there somewhere that have everything all figured out. Here is a summery of the post from Cory.
Lauren Hunter of Church Business gives the Top 10 Features of an Effective Church Website:
1. Dynamic Content
2. Online Donations
3. Online Calendars
4. Event Registrations & Payments
5. Online Ticketing
6. Volunteer Ministries
7. Small Groups
8. E-newsletters
9. Member-Only Areas
10. Blogs, Podcasts and More
At first all I could say was “WHAT!? That is an effective website? Effective for what?” Now that I have composed myself here are some questions to think about.
- Are all church websites supposed to be effective at the same thing?
- Are church websites supposed to be catering to every want & need of a church member?
- How does an effective church website communicate to someone that does not go to church?
