The digital age has caused just about everything to be accessible online, and churches are no exception. If you look at Google Maps, you'll see that nearly every church in your area has a website. Unfortunately, in most cases, it was something thrown together several years ago, by someone who barely knew what he was doing.
It's not too uncommon to find a church schedule online with events from three years ago. HTML isn't easy or fun to update, and it's easy to just let the site stagnate. Churches often rely on the most technically savvy member they can find to manage their website, and the result is often a terrible design, and a site that rarely sees an update.
The good news is, that there are several churches who are changing the trend. They have sites with amazing designs, powerful messages, and an easy-to-use interface for their church members to use and interact with.
If your church wants to get in on the trend and build a powerful website, the most important thing is to ensure it has a good backend system, to make it easy for the pastor, church secretary, or church members to update the site, without knowing HTML. WordPress is a great backend for this, since it has user access controls, a great visual editor, and an advanced platform with practically endless customizable options. Any good web designer can build a website for your church using WordPress.
When you setup your website with a designer, there are a few features that you'll definitely want to include. A calendar is first and foremost, so you can easily add events for your church members to see. Many churches like to have a "Pastor's Blog", so the congregation can get the latest updates, even during the week. A youth area is also very popular, since it allows the church's youth groups to interact online. Linking the site with social media like Facebook and Twitter is a good way to build the viewers of the site, and increase church attendance.
Don't let your church's website stagnate! Bring your church into the 21st century with an online faith community.
