Connecting with Your Members and Community

Creating a website to publish information is commonplace in 2008.  If your church or ministry was lucky enough to hire a web designer that also installed a Content Management System (CMS) for you, then you are ahead of the curve.

As cost-effective as website publishing using a CMS is, the real pay-off is when you can integrate that front-end publishing with your back-end member database to deliver instant contact management, e-mail list management, and e-mail broadcasting.  Then let's say you add login areas for only your staff, or ministry leaders, or volunteers to go and complete online forms such as online registrations and surveys.  Then let's say you also added the ability to securely collect online donation, recurring online giving, event tickets, and even sell and ship resources and gifts.  Now THAT is when your website really becomes a productive member of your ministry!

If you have made it this far, then you also know that developing a website with all of these features costs many thousands of dollars and many months to complete.  When the site is finally launched, the risk is high that it will actually meet your changing expectations, and you have to hope your web developer doesn't get hit by a bus - or you will be left without a way to support your "one-of-a-kind" system.  And if that isn't enough to lose sleep over, you realize that the website project has distracted your ministry from it's purpose - which was the whole reason you built the website in the first place!!!
