Hi Danny, I’m not a web designer. But I have churches and Christian organizations using my hosting services.

Just sharing some insight on what churches think. Have you approached or sold to any church before? Maybe you can share your experience.

And I have no doubt your work is one of the best around

Well, knowing more about the industry or topic of the website is beneficial to the client but I’d say it’ll also depend on the work delivered by the provider too.

But muchos gracias for the 2 cents, Ricky. So you targeting the churches now? LOL!

Yes churches need modern designer!

I suppose they are selling a “message”, a salvation message, living out of which should change our lifestyle for good on earth. They have a purpose for their existence, not so much to serve the Christians, but actually to sell the message to the non-Christians.

So if we as web developers understand the message, or better still, accept and live out the message ourselves, I guess we will be in better position to strategize and design for their web sites.

Just my two cents. Glad that you shared. God bless

@Leona:
LOL! Well, I’m surprised with the amount of freelancers and new web companies emerging endlessly, the younguns never approached the church. Should tell all my Christian friends to intro to me.

@Ikram:
Hahahaha! I somewhat don’t think masjids would work for this category. Unless each masjid has their own teachings which in Malaysia I believe they are like banning.

But a very good point made on the paper. Save our trees already! Kill the Earth with more wavelengths and thrown out electronics. LOL!

yeah. wah. imagine a spruced up website on masjids! hahaha

i think the church understands that they have to communicate well to the community. Its cheaper with the web. Can you imagine how much paper and printing cost they can save with an effective website?

Can even charge for SMS updates and all.
