In today’s world, a website is not just an accessory for churches or non-profits, it is the front door to your organization. It is the front lines of everything you need to have prepared in order to help people find the info they are looking for. Whether they are a congregant who is looking for important event info or someone new who just wants to find out what does it look like if they come visit your church. Trust me, they are there checking it all out before they ever step foot in the door.

Here are three ways to make sure that your website is achieving what you need it to.

1. Make sure that it is clean and easy to navigate. There is nothing worse that landing on a website and not being able to locate the information you need.
2. Make sure that your social media is accessible from your website as well as vice versa. People should be able to get to your website to contact you are look at your product of services easy from your social media accounts. You can’t keep all information there, so make it easy to make that transition.
3. Make sure that your website is connected to your google account. Having your site officially linked within your google account, especially your Google business page gives you better standing with Google and therefore leads more people to your site through local searches and queries.

Make sure that you have a local backup of your website as well as use a service such as managewp.com to easily update your WordPress website, make backups, and have security scans to keep your site up and running clean!
