Our goal with this post is to offer three key features that would create a solid foundation for your church website.<!--more--><br \/>\n[su_dropcap]D[\/su_dropcap]Subscriptions \u2013 Offering members and visitors the ability to subscribe to your website is a terrific feature that enhances church communication. Each update\/post that is made to your word press site will automatically be sent directly each subscribers inbox via email. Announcements, event reminders or links to sermon updates on YouTube can be distributed easily and efficiently to subscribers.<br \/>\n[su_dropcap]C[\/su_dropcap]<br \/>\nontact Us &#8211; Having a specific page with contact information for the ministry\/church is extremely important. This page should include multiple ways to connect with the organization both on and offline. This important page on your website should offer church visitors a variety of ways to get in touch. Be sure to include social media channels, email, phone numbers and office hours if available. Another feature to include on this page is a contact form that visitors can fill in with space allotted for questions or concerns they want to communicate.<br \/>\n[su_dropcap]D[\/su_dropcap]<br \/>\nonations \u2013 The spirit of giving is an important and highlighted concept that can be serviced on your church website. Incorporating a dedicated place that members, visitors and community can sow financial offerings into your church website makes it easy for them to give support.<\/p>\n<p>Adding these three features to your church website is super easy when it is built on the WordPress platform.
