Wow, thanks for sharing this vast collection of great tips that are important for ANY type of website to follow. My 'hat is off' to your website designer!
Thanks,
Trish
The church website tips is very helpful. This will help the religious fanatic to be well informed. I suspect that most church sites are developed by volunteer web designers or programmers.
A nice collection of articles. However, I notice most of the articles are from 2006 and 2007. A lot has happened on the internet since 2006. For example, Facebook was practically unknown in 2006.
If this collection is to help me build a 2006 website, where are the resources to build the website for 2011?
You're right, Wayne. This page does need to be updated.
Here is very good collection of useful information I’ve been wondering how much small and medium-sized churches actually invest in websites.
It is very good. Thanks for your information.
I am also thinking to design a blog from some professionals. I think it’s really necessary to have a personal or professional blog. I am looking for the Vancouver Web Design services for that.
Nice resource for those looking to do the work themselves. Even those with some experience will benefit from this. I agree it's a bit outdated, but some of the tips aren't going to update very much anyways.
