Great article. I have been switching more and more churches to WordPress. You can have a great looking site inexpensively if you use WordPress.

Comment on SEO – Without It, Your Website Is Invisible by Justin Grice

Churches could be much farther ahead if they simply did one thing. Make your title tag (those words that appears in the browser tag) include the following: Church name (+ plus the word “church” somewhere if your church name doesn’t include the word), City name, and one extra keyword that matches your church need such as contemporary, traditional, rock music, denomination, (or evenKJVOnly for some churches!) That would help their SEO tremendously. grovechurch.com is a good example of using the title tag in this way.

Comment on Website vs. Blogging as a Church Planter by Justin Grice

Good point. I think the solution is for churches to have their blog built into their website. WordPress and other content management systems can help with this.

Comment on 5 Reasons Why I Failed by Stephen Canfield

Great article Steve. I have successfully planted in Texas, Florida, and now Michigan and hands down the reasons you listed for success are on the top. My degree is in marketing and I think it would be good to do a conference on image and presentation for church plants. Good suggestion on the name of your church as well. Google is the new way to connect…we get 10 – 12 people a week from our Adwords, and spend about 30$. That’s cheap! Keep up the great work!

I use WordPress almost exclusively. Some of my sites don’t even have a blog – I just use the ‘pages’ feature and cross-link.

The great thing about WordPress are all the plugins. Again, I have my stock set. Since I have a unlimited hosting, my parent church’s high school choir’s website is on my account. (see ChiAlphaRocks.net) It uses the KillerLIght theme with an events calendar and a mobile device converter (scales the text & graphics to look better on smart phones). Other sites have a PayPal donation button, Akamai spam blocker or a shopping cart for selling resources. You can even make some parts of the site private.
