Websites and the Internet play important roles for local churches, ministries and business because they provide:

a. Information about your ministry or business

b. Products or services you provide

c. A way to share events specific to your organization on a grand scale

d. Receive feedback from people

e. Share resources your viewers need

There is no excuse for not having a website, even if you are a small business or small ministry. If you have vision for growth in your ministry or business, a website is a must. New software makes designing and building websites inexpensive. A few of these free software tools can be found at:

1. Absolutely Free Web Design Software – for small business & personal use

2. Another Free Web Design Program – Fusion Essentials is a free web design software

Be sure to read the system requirements for each program. Make sure you download a Windows version if you are using Microsoft Windows for your operating system. Download a Macintosh version if you have a Macintosh computer.

Once you have the software to design your website, experiment with the software. Work with pictures or different colors. You can get color scheme ideas from looking at other websites. Another great resource for building your website is video content. If you sponsor a community event, take some video or have someone with a camera capture some video. You’ll be able to post the video on your website and your community will be excited they are in your video, they will tell their friends.

Add video to your site

There are many ways to add video including YouTube and VopPod. You can see some of our vodpods in the lower right corner of this blog.

Of coarse you will need a website to provide your information. There are many great web-hosting companies, but there are some shysters out there as well. Be sure to read the fine print and if you need help or have questions, post your comments or questions right here, at the bottom of this article.

Another important service to provide your customers is a blog. Believe it or not, a blog is crucial to provide current information. This is a blog. A blog will be on our next post because a blog is number 3 of 8 Ways To Build A Ministry Or Business.
