Building a great, standards-based church website
January 17, 2009 § 3 Comments
Our church needs a new website, and I’m worried they’ll go with a Flash-based option just because it looks nice and seems easy to use. Â So, I put together a list of (I think) HTML-based church website design/hosting solution with full WYSIWYG editing, as well as decent social networking and media sharing solutions.

Our church uses WebMedley. WebMedley has many powerful and useful features. It can even use flash code in an HTML/Text module.
I’ve written about some WebMedley features in my eCommunicator blog http://www.e-Saltandlight.blogspot.com
As Webmaster, I also brought up the question in the Website discussion, Why pay thousands of donation dollars for a few flashy features when WebMedley is so affordable and can do so much?
