Arrange a new website

Having a God-glorifying website online and ready to do the Lord's will isn't as hard as some might lead you to believe. Servants' Servant has helped many a church and ministry quickly get up to speed.
From zero to 60 overnight? No, a quality website takes these ingredients in this order: 1) Prayer, 2) Planning, 3) Production. Any or all of the steps can take time. Like any other project, goals need to be set and deadlines observed. Interest lags with a lack of progress, so commitment is crucial.

Determining a look and color scheme is important, but not as much as planning what your website should contain and how those items should be organized and presented. Once the basic style is set, your site should take shape quickly -- providing content is ready to go onto pages. Whether it's text, pictures, information, graphics or lists, content most often causes the biggest delay in getting a finished website online and in use.
So, at the same time a style is coming together, so should your site's content. Of course, it's all a matter of prayer, because the goal of any Christian website should be to help accomplish God's will for the church or ministry it serves. In prayer, ask how large a site? What content to include? How much to budget for upkeep and web hosting? Then go looking for a Christian web designer who wants to help you be a good steward of God's resources while arranging an Internet presence that glorifies Jesus and helps accomplish His will. Servants' Servant seeks to perform that role, striving to keep the price low and your satisfaction high. Choose from three power-packed packages to suit any budget. No cookie-cutter sites here -- your website will be crafted with original graphics and custom features to be unique. Whether it's a Basic Webpage, a six-page Advanced Website or a 12-page Showcase Suite, all are firm foundation for Internet evangelism. In addition to a web designers' fee, there are two other costs to consider: Domain registration -- Your place in cyberspace needs to be officially registered to have an effective address. There are several registrars, and prices range from $70 for two years to $15 annual specials. Is it a case of "buyer beware?" Lord only knows, so ask Him. Many web hosts include the registration fee and handle the process when you host with them. Web hosting -- Fees and features range widely, depending on the size of your site and its needs. Most church and ministry sites are less than 20 "megs" in size, so be sure to stay away from high-end $25 to $35 monthly fees. Often the free space provided by Internet service providers (ISPs) will do. There are free web hosts, but they "charge" for their service by putting advertising on your webpages that's often unsavory for Christian sites. Servants' Servant recommends hosting with Catalog.com, which charges only a one-time fee of $35 to register your domain with free lifetime hosting for up to a 20-meg site. Check it out HERE or click the banner below! It's such an outstanding deal that Servants' Servant chose Catalog.com at its web host to eliminate monthly fees. For more hosting info, click here. Here's one more aspect often missed in arranging a new website: Who will tend the site? And what software or process will be used? Some churches and ministries buy user-friendly FrontPage software and have staff members or volunteers follow step-by-step procedures. Servants' Servant purposefully designs with easy-to-use FrontPage for that reason. As a quality-control insurance policy, others choose to pay web managers monthly fees for updating content or adding pages. That's an expense worth budgeting if you expect your site to need extensive revisions on a regular basis.
