Well it is Wednesday morning and I am in the third day of a pastor's conference. After being here I am in awe at how many churches and ministries need a decent church website design. We are entering into our fifth year of doing church websites and are blown away by how God is bringing our company favor.
We now are in the process of gaining the support of the church planting office of the Church of God and we have rallied the support of the worldwide denomination AEGA. I have been training 3 other programmers to help with these new branches and it is very exciting to see God moving.
By the way...did I mention that I am a pastor as well! Every person that works for us is either a pastor or youth pastor...a business ran by ministers...God is a good God!
Gotta go!

Why Can't I Make Our Church Website Using Frontpage?
I have had alot of churches ask the question, "Why can't we just do our website in frontpage?"
Some churches opt to do their own website in a wysiwyg program like frontpage. (If you are going to design your own website then Dreamweaver is another choice and is the better of the two.) The difference between one of these wysiwyg programs and a CMS system like we use at buildachurchwebsite.com is in the backend or working parts of the website itself. A CMS or content management system actually has "brains" behind it. You type in information on the frontend as a user and the backend takes that information, processes it, and then re-distributes it in real time on the front end again.
Frontpage is not a good choice for many reasons.

Frontpage is not a good choice for many reasons.
- Sites look "cheezy"
- HTML is botched up and gives poor rankings in search engines
- Anyone updating the website has to have frontpage installed on their machine

New Church Website Design Blog
We figured it was time to start a blog of our activities at buildachurchwebsite.com . It has been over four years ago when we started our first stab into the website design industry. God has really blessed us through the last few years. Our business is starting to go forward, so that we always have a backlog of websites to design, while we maintain our current sites.
You can visit us at http://buildachurchwebsite.com
I am the owner and president of Build A Church Website, and will try to update this blog at least a few times a month to let all of our customers and prospective customers know what is going on up here in Church Web Design "Country".
Anyway's cherio....we will be back into this again later this week.
God Bless,
