How To Make Your Church Connect Page Awesome
Church Connect is the easiest way to create a beautiful and responsive church website for your ministry.
Whether you're creating a website for a small church, or you're a large church needing a member portal... Church Connect can fit the bill. We'll share with you 5 ways to help you make a Connect Page that your church people will love to use that looks AWESOME.
5 Ways to make an Awesome Church Connect Page
1. Use lots of pictures
Instead of using just text and colors, upload a picture to display instead. Pictures are much more visually appealing and also easier to navigate. See how you can quickly glance at the below example to know what different cards offer...
2. Use Form Cards often
Forms are one of the best ways to get feedback and interaction from your people. Some of the most popular church forms we see are volunteer signup forms, connect forms, prayer requests, and even feedback forms. You can designate a specific ChurchTrac User to have form responses emailed directly to them once a form is filled out too.
3. Place your most important cards to the Top ?
The majority of your people will be viewing your Connect Page on their smartphone. Be sure to have the most important cards you want them to see placed near the top to ensure they see them. Cards for Online Giving or guests getting connected should always be in your top 5.
4. Give your people a reason to visit
Whether it's during a sermon or at an event, always encourage people to visit your Church Connect Page to be in the loop. Talk about how they can easily submit prayer requests, access sermon notes, or check their giving history right from their cell phone.
5. Coordinate colors
As your add images to your cards, try to coordinate the colors to match with your logo and background.
Adding random photos to your Connect Page with disregard to colors can look REALLY bad aesthetically. Your church's website is often the first impression of what people may see before they visit. Make your colors match and try to avoid things like this...
Takeaway
Making an awesome Church Connect Page doesn't require an advanced degree or hours of dedication. Simply implement these ideas, and you will make your church site look fantastic and encourage your congregation to visit often to communicate and be kept in the loop.
