Newswire/ -- Sharefaith.com, the largest worship media and church website
provider just announced that it passed the 1,000 church websites mark. In only
eight months of service, Sharefaith now provides over 1,300 websites to
ministries and churches in the U.S. The obvious fact is that Sharefaith's
website solution has become a favorite with budget minded churches. Sharefaith's
website service, provided exclusively to Sharefaith members, is backed by their
record of having the world's largest media library -- a record they have
maintained for the last eight years.
Thousand-dollar websites are a thing of the past.
The days of paying thousands of dollars for a beautiful website is long gong. In
fact, anyone in this day and age that still considers dropping that amount of
cash either has an increasingly profitable ministry, or suffers from a lack of
real-world financial stewardship. In a day when churches are cutting costs, it
has become increasingly difficult to justify paying an exuberant amount of money
on a virtually lifeless online presence. Churches should instead shop around and
compare to find the best offer at the best price.
No Programming or Design Skills Necessary
It is understandable that not everyone on the church team has design or coding
abilities, but that should not deter churches from pursuing a professional
looking website that is easy to update and maintain. Problems arise when a
church calculates the upfront cost of the website, the monthly hosting costs,
and any additional costs that might arise. The church must then take the plunge,
or simply go without a website. Each church leadership team must find a solution
that works best for their particular situation, regardless of the skill level or
experience they may have.
Churches Need Free Support to Start and Maintain the Website
Many church website providers only offer email support to their users. Those
companies that do offer phone support provide only limited service, and many
even charge extra fees. This lack of real-person live support should be a major
factor in a church's decision to sign up for a website and hosting package.
Knowing that a company has excellent support, and trusting that someone can
answer their questions is a major assurance for the security and longevity of a
church website. Free live support is crucial.
Updates Are Important.
The last thing a church should do is to buy a website solution that is outdated.
A church should ensure that the provider they select is continually improving
their product, adding new templates, and providing long-term value. This is one
of the areas where Sharefaith shines.
It All Comes Down to the Money.
In the end, each church needs to pick the best solution for their assembly. If
that church is a budget-minded ministry looking for a professional website and
hosting solution that offers all the bells and whistle of high priced
alternatives at a fraction of the cost, then Sharefaith's website solution is
the best Christian ministry web and hosting resource on the web. Backed by a
library of 40,000 worship templates, graphics, and print resources, churches
receive the best of both worlds. This vast library is one the main reasons that
over 19,000 churches have joined Sharefaith.
The complete Sharefaith membership -- unlimited access to 40,000 worship media
-- comes at a low cost of $126.65 per year. Included in that cost is a free
church website, control panel, 24 templates to choose from, as well as hundreds
of web banners and web graphics. Hosting costs are additional, starting at
$14.99/m for a 1-year contract or $19.99/monthly. In total, for as little as
$303 per year, a church can have every conceivable church media related
resources, a professional website, and ongoing full-time live-support.
