Continuing this month’s theme Church Website Builder Tips and Tools…
When choosing the best church website builder for your church, one big thing to consider is the themes available with the web builders you are considering.
Church website themes have changed a lot over the years. When we developed our first church website builder more than 20 years ago, it was common to have Christian symbols in the header – crosses, doves, bibles, etc. Every once in a while we still have people contact us and ask us if we have themes like that. (No, sorry, we don’t.)
When selecting the theme for your church website, it’s important to understand that your goal is to help your website visitors understand who your church is and find the information they are looking for quickly and easily. With that in mind, here are…
3 Secrets to Selecting the Best Church Website Builder Theme
1) Mobile-friendly – More than half of website visits are made using mobile devices. Therefore it’s absolutely essential that when you build a church website, the design is responsive to the device being used (phone, tablet, computer) and mobile-friendly.
2) Page templates – Page templates are pre-made pages. The page is all laid out for you, you just have to replace the sample text with your text and the sample images with your images. Page templates are helpful because instead of creating each page from scratch, you start with a page layout that has already been designed by a website developer. If you use a church-specific website builder, its developers probably understand the needs and goals of churches and their website visitors and designed those page templates to meet those needs and goals.
3) Compliment your church’s brand – Branding is the process of helping people get to know who your church is and what it’s all about. Your logo is an important part of your brand, so its important to use a website builder and theme that can accommodate your logo. Choose (or customize) a theme that has colors that compliment the colors in your logo. And choose a theme that matches the style of your church – formal, casual, urban, country, artistic, or whatever.
The bottom line is…
