Top 10 Things to Fix on Your Website

By Mar 27, 2009 5 Comments

Daryl McMullen, web director at Granger Community Church and author of the WebDrivenChurch.Com blog, has been looking at lots of church websites recently and posted 10 things that need to be fixed.  Here’s the list:

  1. Contact information
  2. Color scheme
  3. Multiple navigation menus
  4. Bad pages/links/content
  5. Promotional banners/graphics
  6. The “inside jokes”
  7. Widget Overkill
  8. Basic functionality
  9. Search engine optimization
  10. Overwhelming content

Good stuff.  The full article is worth the read.  Thanks to Kem Meyer for blogging about this and bringing WebDrivenChurch.Com to my attention.

    I think you are pretty close to being right on with what to consider to ‘fix’ your site. Many of these mentioned items can be overlooked by many websites, church and non. Working at a Web Design Company I see many potential clients such as churches that do not quite understand the so called rules to fix a site. If you do fix it up you will be increasing your traffic and strengthening the reach.
