Nice article by Church Communications Pro on why Wordpress is the best selection for running your ministries website. We agree and would love to host your site and offer free setup. If you want us to customize the template let us know and we will do it in a jiffy for a reasonable setup price.

1. It’s a free content management system – Although it’s built to be a blogging platform, it has a lot of function and flexibility to also be used as a content management system with the right tweaks. That is absolutely free to use.

2. It’s easy to use – Blogging platforms are built to be easy to use. WordPress is used by thousands and thousands of bloggers across the globe and has benefited from their insights to make it better and better. So adding new website pages is super easy. I put it this way … if you can use Microsoft Word with relative ease, you can use WordPress.

3. The search engine love it – Google and the other search engines love WordPress – meaning they get “indexed” quicker and better. And with special bells and whistles (called plugins), they’ll love your site even more … giving you and your church website better exposure in search engine rankings.

4. There are thousands of free templates available – I don’t like to recreate the wheel if there’s a good wheel available that’s also FREE. Check out the WordPress Theme Viewer here to see all the current free themes being offered by designers all over the world. And new themes are being designed and added almost daily. [By the way, templates are called “themes” in WordPress-speak.]

5. You’re in control of it – WordPress is installed on your website hosting account, meaning you control it. And because it’s free (called “open source”), all you have to pay for is your website hosting account.
