The Problem with Websites for Churches In 1998, ChurchWebsites started as a Christian-owned website development company designed to meet the needs of churches and christian businesses. ChurchWebsites, a subsidiary of WebsiteMasters, offered affordable website creation and hosting services. However, we soon discovered that many churches did not have the same capital or operating budgets of many secular businesses. Oftentimes, the cost of developing a new website from scratch was prohibitive for a growing church. In addition, the task of maintaining the site required a maintenance contract or finding a church volunteer who would become the church's programmer. These "stumbling blocks" kept many churches from being able to launch the kind of website that was necessary to communicate their message. A New Beginning for ChurchWebsites We realized that we had to rethink the website development process if we were to succeed in pioneering a website solution for churches. First, we needed to identify all the pitfalls of traditional web development and address each one. Over the years, various churches told us that the website process was too hard, too slow, too costly, lacking content or difficult to do well. Our mandate was to make the development process adhere to the following objectives:
Spend Your Time Building God's Kingdom Your mission is to spread the Gospel and to do that effectively you need cutting edge communication tools like an effective website and powerful e-mail handling. ChurchWebsites frees you up to build His Kingdom, not waste time learning how to build a website. Take a 30-day trial of our service and see for yourself if we have taken the mystery and pain out of the process of making your church's website. |
