Ability to add sermons, solicit online donations and give explicit directions among the many details churches should feature on their websites states ChurchDev.com

Mooresville, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/03/2015 -- With web usage ever on the rise, no business sector is exempt from the need of a website. Churches in particular are feeling the call more than ever to have not only a web presence, but a fully functional site.

According to a recent study, 46% of all people surveyed said a church's website was important in picking a church to visit. Furthermore, 1/3 stated the internet was the first place they learned about their church. With such impressive numbers, it's no wonder an increasing number of churches today are re-vamping their existing sites or putting up web pages for the first time. With this in mind, Angela Beard, spokesperson for ChurchDev.com has announced a no-hidden fee, all inclusive service structure for all sized churches.

Says Beard, "It's more important than ever to feature your church in the best light with your web page. It's better to have no website at all than to have a website that doesn't feature all the advantages your church has to offer. But, in today's world, many churches feel they can't afford to put their best face forward on a website. That's why we're now offering the best church website builder, bringing a host of features and services for any size ministry's development. We offer state of the art web hosting and our designs are plentiful, allowing easy navigation, online donation features, a sermon system, photo gallery, and so much more."

According to Beard, many churches wonder what information is best to include on their website, so Beard offers the following advice. "Above all else, make sure your location is prominently listed. If a visitor who has surfed to your site can't immediately tell what city the church is in or area of town, it won't matter if the church has the most beautiful website, the most articulate belief statement, or the flashiest photographs. If visitors or newcomers to the area can't find the church, they won't be there on Sunday morning."

Other important features to include on a website for a church include online donations, access to sermons, a staff directory, calendar of events, and unlimited pages to add to as needed. "Whether you need to keep the public aware of what's for dinner Wednesday night or when the church is closing due to inclement weather, a quality designed website is the key to improving communications between your church and congregation. Don't be fooled into thinking your church can't afford the added expense of a website, as our pricing is set up to accommodate all sized budgets."

Making full use of the internet helps churches broaden their community outreach efforts, publishes churchdev.com

Mooresville, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/13/2015 -- An estimated 70 percent of Christians reveal they turn to their online resources when searching for scripture and inspiration, many of these home bound or otherwise unable to attend conventional sermons. In contrast, less than 40 percent of churches currently utilize the internet for reaching out to the public. Leading church website design firm ChurchDev.com was established to create websites for churches in an effort to help bridge that gap, delivering schematics geared toward the specific needs of churches.

As the company's latest service in their sector, spokesperson Angela Beard has launched a new design option. Beard confirmed, "The latest addition to our professional church website design selection is CD120, which showcases church ministries. As with all of our designs, our team will fully customize the site and delver a complete website. Once it's complete, anyone from the church can manage the site using our drag and drop page builder and fill in the blank sermon, event and staff systems."

While businesses each hold a range of requirements for their websites depending on a number of elements, churches have a particularly unique set of needs. Various administrators and additional staff members are typically involved in updates; therefore, multiple users require access to the system. Since these are often volunteers with diverse levels of technological knowledge, websites for such organizations must offer functionality while remaining user-friendly.

Religious blogs are crucial to optimizing community outreach efforts and devotionals, which means an easily accessible blog updating function is necessary for pastors. Having the ability to present and update event calendars provides a much needed guide for members of the church and its surrounding neighborhoods whereas photo galleries allow staff members to display memories from past occasions. Such proceedings are generally funded by tithes and donations, so incorporating an online giving portal provides the establishment with a broader reach in this capacity.

Concluded Beard, "We provide a complete website for our clients. Our design team will work with the church to customize the site so it meets all its needs. Anyone interested can view all church website designs we offer on our designs page, http://www.churchdev.com/designs/. Our hope is that our new CD120 design, as well as our other layouts, will further help churches take full advantage of technology and foster their ability to make a positive impact on the world."
