Church Websites Make Me Cringe…
It happens EVERY week. I somehow come across a church website that makes me cringe. This week, Cole showed me one that literally made me puke in my mouth a little.
Recently, the guys at ChurchMarketingsucks.com completed an online poll that confirmed that 78 percent of respondents didn’t think their church Web site was worth bragging about. That is SAD. In a day where web presence is so crucial, we the church ought to be leading the way with great websites.
Why is this? I want your thoughts. Why do the majority of church websites stink so bad?
Also, what are the good church websites out there? Share your links.
A few links that will help you if you know that you have a terrible church website:
- Tony Morgan posted this blog about ugly church websites along with a little contest to help your church win a cool website a few weeks back.
- Updateable
- Collision Media
- UDFD Design
- Kem Meyer has a new book coming out that will help with the overall strategy behind our websites (and other things.)

- Go rail on Perry Noble over at Anne’s blog. Everybody’s doing it.
Its worth it just to see the funny photo of Perry. - Then, go read what Perry had to say in this post about it (read “Phase #4″ in the post). Perry is an incredible leader. He challenges me every week!
- If only Thanksgiving looked more like this across the entire United States. Man. Imagine how much our world would change…
- Clayton Bell is an incredible blogger. More peeps need to read what this guy has to say. I’m also a hardcore strategist. Not sure that I’m trying to recover though…
- My brother from another mother, Terrace Crawford, did an cool series of posts on Key Themes in Teens. VERY INSIGHTFUL for anyone who cares about our students! Check it out. Part one HERE. Part two HERE. Part three HERE.
