Before we get into today’s article, I want to remind you of the fantastic, time-sensitive opportunity to Get a New Expedited Website – 1/2 the Cost, 1/3 the Time. Check it out!
Over the past 25 years, OurChurch.Com has served tens of thousands of clients including churches, businesses, schools, ministries, and personal sites. A lot has changed in web design since 1996, but there is one thing that has not changed:
Most people struggle with creating content for their websites.
There are some clients who are phenomenal creators of content. They know exactly what text they want on their website and how to write it. They have great images to help tell a story on their site and convey the purpose and message to visitors.
However, these people and organizations are as common as a political campaign without any negative ads.
For most clients, writing text and taking good-quality photos is not their specialty.
This isn’t a criticism – God has blessed them with many other gifts – but because they haven’t received training or don’t create content for websites often, they struggle with it. There is nothing wrong with that.
I am not mechanically inclined, especially when it comes to cars. We have five drivers in our house, so it is quite often that maintenance needs to be performed or repairs need to be made. We take care of the minor basics like changing headlamps, keeping the correct tire pressure, changing air filters, and a few other easy tasks.
However, I have learned that when it goes beyond those things, I need to get help from a professional: Someone who has received proper training, has experience, and fixes/maintains cars for a living.
Creating content for most people is like repairing a car for me: It just isn’t something you are trained or wired to do.
As a result, it can bring the whole website-building process to a screeching halt, and delay its completion for months!
More than likely your website isn’t completely without content, but it may not be complete either.
So, let me me ask you a few questions about your content?
- Did you start building your website a month ago or more and it’s still not complete?
- Have you started writing a page, you agonized over it for an hour or more, and it’s still not finished?
- Do you have website content you know you need to write, but you find yourself doing anything you can think of to avoid it, including scrubbing the bathtub?!?
This is why OurChurch.Com offers a Content Creation service!
Instead of having a website that lacks content or has generic content that doesn’t represent your organization, you can have a great-looking, content-filled website that you are proud to show to others!
With OCC’s Content Creation service, we create the content WITH you.
- We schedule a time to call you for a content-interview call.
- We talk with you about your organization and ask questions to understand what text and images would be best.
- We write the text for your website.
- If you don’t have real pictures for your site, we find high-quality stock images to complement the text that has been written.
- We build your website with the text we wrote and any stock images we found.
How much does the content creation service cost?
Probably a lot less than you think.

The bigger question is…
How much is it costing you to have a website without content?
