Do you think that building a web site and having the site hosted is all it takes to be on the net? This isn't true and we'll explain why. Of course, having a domain and a web site equates to "being on the net", but the question is: Does this suffice? Well, if your goal is just to have a presence on the Internet, it will. On the other hand, if you are planning to encourage people to search your site for ministry opportunities, interact with your media services, and purchase products from your online store, then you need a different approach to this challenge. You will want your web site to have an eye-catching design, straight-forward navigation with no "dead end links" and more importantly, to be unique and portray the excellence that your ministry walks in. In addition, if you are opening an online store, you will want the latest in shopping cart technology and back-end user interface for you to manage your online business. Last but not least, you will want a web site design that is "friendly" with the latest search engine rules. Web site marketing and search engine optimization are going to be an ever more important part of the challenge and the solution in today's Internet. World Gospel not only will provide you with a superb design and user friendly navigation; but we pride ourselves in serving the Christian community. We become a part of your evangelism team and we serve you and assist you in kingdom building and take the worry of your website maintenance from your to do list.

World Gospel has two ways to approach this issue: both are a low risk solution, based on our experience in developing many web sites for customers worldwide.

╬ Creative Freedom - This is the way many of our customers chose in the process of developing a web site. You will need to give us a clear set of specs on what you want your site to do (e.g. online store, prayer request forms, media player etc.) and we will create a layout and a ministry plan for your site. We will provide you with multiple look-feels, so that you will have choices and can even mix and match design elements that you find pleasing. By letting us put our experience to work, you are benefiting from years of experience and applying the latest in web technology.

╬ Exact Specification - In certain circumstances, you may prefer to tell us the way your site should look and feel, including details for example, like the typeface used and the color scheme. This may be the case when you already have a ministry image and you want to keep consistency throughout your web site.

In either case, World Gospel provides you with a Web Site Development Checklist to help and guide you in selecting the specifications that you need. By simply filling this out (complete with a flow chart to help you better visualize) and forwarding to our Creative Team, we will be able to help solve the puzzle and give you a finished website that your organization can be proud of.
