Ten lessons about your church web site

A church web site is a crucial means of communication. More and more people will be looking for you on the web, even before checking yellow pages or newspapers. And those web visitors will form opinions about your church based on the web site.

A posting at the BetaChurch blog lists 10 lessons about church webs:

  • People may check out your web site before or instead of the Yellow Pages.
  • People form opinions about your church based on your web site.
  • Your web site reveals your church's true values.
  • A web site is a key to effective communication.
  • A web site is an ideal place to promote your church's vision. Often.
  • A bad web site is worse than none at all.
  • Don't settle for the easy way out. Do it right.
  • People crave content, not looks (eye candy). Feed their souls.
  • Visitors don't need an "online brochure."
  • Keep your web site current and add new content regularly; it nets return visits.
