Why Choose Church Plant Media?

We know what church planters need in a website.


No other company can say their sole focus is designing websites for church planters. We can. Our entire company is built to meet the unique needs of planters. As a planter, you don’t have the same needs that established churches have, so you shouldn’t be forced into a system that caters to established churches. As a planter, you work to grow your church using grassroots efforts, and our system is designed to assist you with that task. We can provide you with an attractive website, a Content Management System for you to manage your content, tons of multimedia options, and the ability for you to be found in search engines by people in your local community who are searching for a church.
 

Different.


Our process is different than other web design companies, so we are able to offer customized websites at a much lower cost than others. Simply select one of our design frames, and we’ll customize the design according to the package you select. Then we’ll plug it into our Content Management System, which gives you full control over all of the content that changes regularly (sermons, articles, page text, photos, graphic headers, navigation items, events, podcasting, and much more).
 

Creative


A website is a failure if it doesn’t present the content in a creative, attractive, and organized fashion. Today’s Internet users are impatient, skeptical, and are looking to be impressed. The aesthetic of the website will be the first thing your website visitors see, so don’t compromise when it comes to its appearance. We have dozens of design frames that you can use as a foundation for your own website, and every single one can be customized to your specification.
 

Interactive


Now that you’ve impressed your website visitors with a great layout, how do you get them to return on a regular basis? You must give them a reason to return. Website visitors will initially be impressed with your design, but you must keep the website updated with fresh content in order to have them return. Blogs, message boards, podcasting, photo galleries, member directories, sermon commenting, updated pages, and articles will give your website visitors a reason to keep coming back.
 

Alive


Friendly Links

What good is a website if a potential church-goer in your community can’t find it through a search engine? Our Content Management System is search engine friendly, and it takes advantage of powerful techniques that will drive traffic to your website. Take a look at this actual link for an “about us” page that is generated by one of our competitor’s systems:

www.churchname.com/templates/_churchname6/details.asp?details.asp?id=36031&PID=392256

That means nothing to a search engine. It has too many numbers and random letters that aren’t descriptive. Take a look at a sample link from our Content Management System:

www.dallasgathering.org/about-dallas-gathering

Notice how it is short, simple, and descriptive. This technique allows search engines to understand the type of content that your individual pages contain, and this assists web searchers in finding your website.

Networks Drive Traffic to Your Website

Want even more traffic to your website? You’ll need to be connected to a network of websites whose sole purpose is to drive traffic to your site. We have created such a network, and every Church Plant Media client gets a free subscription to the network. Imagine this… each time you publish a sermon to your website, it appears on our network of websites. An Internet user in your city is searching for an audio sermon on a specific topic, or maybe she’s searching for a church in your city. Our network appears in the search results pages, and she is directed to your church website through the network. Sound too good to be true? It’s not. We’ve created the network and it will work to drive traffic to your website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 

Simple


Your website shouldn’t be difficult to manage. Gone are the days when you have to manipulate HTML code or try to get a volunteer to update content. You’ll be able to easily and quickly update your sermon audio/video, podcast, event calendar, pages, images, blog posts, and photo galleries through our easy-to-use visual interface. All it takes is a few minutes each week to complete the process. We have clients with site administrators that range in age from 15 years old all the way up to 70-year-old retirees, so the system is truly easy enough to be used by everybody of all ages and levels of expertise.
 

Flexible


Are you a PC or a Mac user? With our Content Management System, it doesn’t matter. You can have either a PC or a Mac, and you’ll still be able to easily manage your website.

Our Content Management System is web-based, which means you can access it from any Internet-connected computer. Gone are the days when church planters had to install software on their computer in order to manage their website. Our system is completely web-based, so you can access it from your office computer, your home computer, your laptop at the coffee shop, or any other computer that is connected to the Internet.
 

Expandable


Do you want to add integrated blogs, online giving, photo galleries, book lists, member management, event registration, member directories, message boards, or e-invites? Our system is flexible enough to allow you to start small and increase the features of your website as you need them.

Cost-Effective

We realize that you have other things to spend your money on as you are planting your church. That’s why our packages are among the most cost-effective on the market. The goal of our company is to meet the specific needs of church planters, so we understand the role that finances play in a new church. Our packages start at $2,500.00 and monthly fees start at $50.00 per month. This price includes everything you need to get started (design, hosting, staff e-mail, the Content Management System, one year of domain registration, and technical support).
