Happy New Year and a quick tip

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I recently put a website together for a church in Bury, UK.

Through the development and consultation we discussed the importance of having a contact us option throughout the website so wherever you land you can be contacted.

Although they weren’t totally for this, they took my advice on board and went with the advice.  The site has only been live a week and we haven’t started any web promotion.

A gentleman left a comment asking how he could get to the church.  Is this not the whole reason why we have a church website anyway?  Is it to connect with the community?

I see so many church websites that are sometimes missing the boat with their websites and what we need to do is to realise that our websites exist for the community.

Here are some questions to ask ourselves

• Does the design look like we want it to?
• Can the reader connect with our mission statement?
• When a reader comes to your site, do they know they are in the right place? (Is your marketing written for you or your reader?)

This is an extrememly hard thing to do, but we need to constantly put ourselves in the shoes of the readers.
