How to make a good impression with your Christian Web Design

Most visitors to US Churches will visit a Church's website before they ever visit the Church. That means your Church needs a website. Designing the correct Christian website is important.
But a bad website can be worse than no website. Anyone can go to a christian website builder and get a ready made template, but sometimes it just doesn't always have everything that you need.
If the announcements are out of date or the graphics are unattractive it can be more of a hindrance than a help.
Your website is the first glimpse visitors get of your Church. You want to make sure you make a good impression.
Here a few ideas to keep in mind about what people are looking for when they come to your website:
* Contact Info: This should be easy to find. Make sure people can easily find your phone number, email address and church address.
* Service Times: Somewhere prominent on your website should be a list of all the weekly services and their times
* Calendar: This is the best way for people to see what is coming up that they might want to attend
* Sermons: Posting audio copies of your sermons online will bring both visitors and regular attenders back to your website again and again and will get your message out beyond the walls of your Church
* eNewsletter: Visitors to your website can become visitors to your Church. A simple way to keep visitors on the hook is to provide them an opportunity to sign up for your Church's eNewsletter. This will increase attendance at your events from both visitors and members.
The way to reach Christians and non-Christians especially via the Internet is through a well designed website that easily lays out the above features but also communicates the vision of your Church well.
