Page 3 of 8 Your church webmaster/team48. A church webmaster or team needs a clear job description.The church must state clearly what is expected of him/her/them. If the webmaster/web-team leader is not on the church leadership team, there should be a clear line of responsibility to the church leaders. However, leaders who do not understand the Web should not try to impose on the webmaster their own ideas about web design! The church should encourage the webmaster or web team in their back-room role. 49. What if there is no-one technical in your church, to take on the webmaster role? You can use a pre-designed template system. These also answer the problem of what to do if the only technical person in the church moves on, leaving a website that no-one really knows how to update. Many ministries offer ready-made ‘CMS template’ church sites, usually on a pay-for basis. Content is added using text boxes within your browser. Before choosing such a provider, take considerable time to compare what is on offer. 50. A larger church site can benefit from ‘CMS’ – Content Management – is a system whereby different people have permission to update content within a site, without reference to the webmaster. In a larger church, it enables different departments to post their latest news and activities online, using only a browser interface, accessed via a password – which enables multiple users to keep the site updated. 51. Learn from others. Help is only a mouse-click away. There are email discussion lists and forums where church webmasters can ask questions. Check the links on our church page. You can also use Google to find answers to technical problems. Get style inspiration by looking critically at other church sites. |
