Church Websites??

[lswatson111304]

Ok, so our church has a website and we have crammed as much info on it as possible, but its not really pleasing to look at, and there are a few features that I think would be nice to add to it.

Thats our site...see what I mean! LOL

I've been wanting to redo something for years, I am pretty sure with the right information I could figure out a basic site that will meet our needs, but I don't know where to start.

Here are the Pages we would like.

Home/welcome page
Pastor's Page
What we believe
Ministries (Some will be a basic description, such as our Radio Ministry, others I'd like to list like our sunday school classes with photos of Teachers)
Missions
Calendar
Sermons- We have recently started to record our Services and we would like to be able to get them on the site.
Way to Salvation
Schedule of Services
Map to the Church
Photo Gallery (not necessary, but I enjoy looking at them at other church websites)

About our site, our pastor knew a guy that built websites, and we paid him to do this one. We ended up not having any information like hosting info, or passwords, or how to change things if we want to start over from scratch with our domain name.

We are broke, the church can't afford much, pretty much anything that we do needs to be as close to free as possible. Actually I'll be doing what I can, and I'm sure I'll pay for whatever we need done. I'm hoping not much, as we apparently already have hosting, I know we paid for it this past year. I am not sure how much longer we have till time to pay again though. I was thinking of using wordpress, not 100% how though. I guess I'd need wordpress.org not .com and host through whomever we already have...hopefully? LOL
Anyway, point of post, I would love it if anyone that knows what they are doing here would like to maybe mentor me?!? LOL Give me tips, advice, something? Right now we are hoping to find out the info on hosting, so that should take a few days, other than that I'm not sure where to begin, or even if I can.
HELP! Please?? LOL Thanks!

The web site looks OK to me, its easy to find your way around on it. Some are to complicated, and I don't feel that is good, for many that are looking for a church might not be computer savvy.

I'll give you advise on hosting.

Baptist Web Hosting $5/month and you support IFB's.

Yes, I saw this after posting. As of right now we are already hosted with someone else. I think godaddy. I'm not sure how long we are paid through. We are trying to find the login information.


I agree that the site is easy to navigate, and I certainly don't want anything complicated. I am more turned off by the actual "design" aspect. The background images and stuff. I personally would prefer more simple and clean looking. Thats my big issue, also we were limited to the amount of pages on there, and I would like to add a few things like I mentioned above.
I guess for now I'm going to wait till we find out the sign in information and go from there.

Great site and hosting package. I used to run my own servers, hosting close to 1000 clients. I made really good money, but the time in doing all the backend stuff was too time consuming (cPanel/WHM, Fantastico, CPU, RAM, Connectivity with Savvis, Internap, and Level 3, etc). I, in the long run sold the venture to persons who can deal with it on a larger scale than I could, for, as mentioned above, it was too much for one person to handle.
