Essential Church Website Design Tips

In this article we will quickly cover what makes a
church website design effective and pleasing to your target audience.
Church websites are special, because they must reflect what your church
is trying to convey to visitors. Often times this is an emotional
feeling of love, joy, and acceptance. Let's pretend a visitor sees your
church's website. Will they be impressed? Are you taking the opportunity
to convey to them they will have a loving, joyful experience at your
church? Unfortunately most church websites are not successful at this.
Does your church website convey the feelings of "outdated", "cheesy",
"disorganized"? Here are some tips to help.
1. Use pictures of people - We are not just talking about a photo
gallery. Incorporate pictures of people throughout the design. It helps
to convey a message of loving and satisfied people.
2. Offer easy navigation - Let your visitor find service times,
directions, and contact information quickly.
3. Samples of atmosphere - Your design and content should accurately
reflect your church's essence. If you are a modern contemporary church,
your website design should reflect that. If you are a traditional
church, your website should reflect that as well.
4. Use breadcrumbs - This helps visitors also navigate your site.
Breadcrumbs are quick menu navigation using text. For instance Home >
Articles > New Story #1
5. Online gallery - Offer visitors a chance to see what activities your
church participates in.
We hope we've helped give you some insight in planning your next church
website design. If you've like more ideas or samples of designs, please
