I often hear about people who want to start a Christian-based blog. Maybe it’s one based on apologetics, it’s a daily Bible study, while sometimes its just personal musings on a subject. You know what I think when I hear that? Awesome. Even though it seems like there are already a ton of Christian blogs […]

This one goes out to all the preachers out there (cue guitar solo). I know you spend a lot of time in sermon prep. Like, a lot of time. I know that most people joke about how preachers only work 3-4 hours a week (maybe double that for a Gospel Meeting — *gasp*), but I

Websites have come a long way over the last 20 years. It used to be that you could simply write a lot of content on your website, and a few weeks later, portions of it would start ranking on search engines. It was a lot like the Wild West in those days. Very few rules,

Whenever we design a site, the website homepage is always the first thing we design. It sets the tone for the rest of the site; get the aesthetic or flow wrong here, and everything else will need to be changed, too. Because of how important this page is, we spend a lot of time experimenting

I’ve seen a lot of websites. A lot. More than I care to admit. Sometimes I dream about websites. It’s not fun. But scarier than dreaming about websites is seeing a website that has terrible organization. Buttons that are out of place, menus that explode off the screen, and images that stretch to make a

These days, I rarely meet anyone that thinks having a website isn’t at least a little bit important for their church. It meets people where they are, shows off a little bit of the church, and — most importantly — teaches the Gospel in a passive way. People can come, listen, learn, and move on.

Writing for the internet is a lot different than knowing how to write in general. There are different rules because it’s a different audience, even if they wear the same type of clothes. Online readers are used to reading in bursts. With so much material available online – around seven million new blog posts are published every day
