I just wanted to say how much I’m appreciating your feedback to my research. It is a huge subject of which, in many ways I feel I’ve only just managed to scratch the surface. I’m hoping though it encourages other people to look at their own church websites and carry out a bit of further research by doing usability studies. Feel free to use/adapt my usability study questionnaire found in the appendices. I would be really interested read more findings.

Please let me know how the ‘revamp’ goes, Jeff.
David, I take your point about the double line spacing, it is the college specifications. However I will reformat it when time allows, many thanks for pointing that out.

‘It is vital not to use Christian jargon on a church website. We become so used to using and hearing certain words in Christian circles (such as ‘justification’ and ‘sanctification’,) that it is easy to forget they are totally meaningless to the majority of society.’

Is ‘the majority of society’ the 71% of people who say they are Christians in the official census?

This is truly a valuable resource, not to “preach” at people but to quietly and privately answer some of life’s tough questions and help people get a feel for what your church is really like long before they darken the door.

I have made ours a community resource and a “destination” site rather than a brochure so that we are not only reaching out the the community with the Good News of eternal life in Christ but we also provide a valuable community service.

Good work

Looks like a nice effort. Certainly, I share similar concern for reaching the lost. I won’t pretend to have read it. Just a quick scan leads me to say only that we should practice what we preach.

[...] Her ‘Reaching the Community with Church Websites’ is a valuable insight into the potential for making church sites truly ‘outsider friendly’. Very little research has been published recently on church sites, as far as we know.

I am grateful for the resource and have passed it along to several of our church staff and lay leaders as we consider the need to revamp our church web site. Thanks for making it available.
