Welcome to the next installment of our web series titled,  Website Makeovers with Erica, a five-minute video in which Erica reveals how she helped one of our clients makeover their website. We hope it inspires you to make similar improvements to your website!

In Episode 2, Erica works with Teresa from Central Community United Methodist Church in Shell Knob, MO. Teresa is the church administrator who is very passionate about the ministry of the church and the work they do in the community.

Who is Central Community United Methodist Church?

Central Community United United Methodist Church in Shell Knob, MO is a small-town church with a lot going on. They have a food pantry that helps to feed those in need. They have a daycare to service families in their community. They also have a thrift store to help families in need. The church has a close family feel and they wanted a website that shows visitors that they and their families are welcome.

What were the issues that were keeping their website from achieving their goals of reaching young families?

  • The front page had too many photos and not enough information.
  • The front page needed to be more for visitors and less for the members.
  • The front page wasn’t very well organized.
