With the growth in popularity of Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace, many have begun to question if having a professional website is still necessary. Undoubtedly, a website for your church, ministry, nonprofit or business is mandatory. While it is tempting to save money by letting a volunteer try to build one, you may need to rely on professional help when it comes to design and implementation.
You should have a basic knowledge when planning and designing a good website. This will help when making decisions about your organizations site. Here are a few tips to consider:
Simple is Superior. Today websites are scaling back. The day of fancy flash and intricate coding has come to an end. Make sure the site is well-maintained above all.
Hire Higher. Your website is your virtual business card. Don’t trust the design to an armature. Work with a trustworthy marketing company to do your website design. Ask to see sites they have previously built.
Budget Better. Set a budget. Decide how much money you can truly afford. But don’t be cheap. You want the best your money can buy. Apply for grants that are willing support marketing and branding initiatives.
Opt to Manage. Most sites are built with a Content Management System. This system allows for someone with even basis computer skills to maintain and update the site. Even if you hire someone to do your management, have the CMS available.
Use these tips to evaluate the effectiveness of your website design. It is not too late for a redesign or to start all over. Make quality priority!
