A website is needed today to get the message out.
Unfortunately, many of you know nothing about website design or operations.
But lucky for you, We know someone who builds sites for charities for free.
But he does so under these guidelines:
He strongly recommends Word Press as a platform as it allows you to manage your website through a brower.
This means that after he builds the site, you can easily maintain it yourself,
through the browser. You do NOT have to know coding to use Word Press. After he
builds it, you can manage it yourself.Don't Worry! Word Press is free software.
The DOUBLE SIDE TEMPLATE (WORD PRESS):
Don't let the color upset you.
The colors and graphics can be easily changed.
The basic shape is what matters.
Calvary Chapel New Brunswick (Actual Site)
THE NOIR TEMPLATE (WORD PRESS):Don't let the color upset you.
The colors and graphics can be easily changed.
The basic shape is what matters.
This theme is one he designed and submitted to Word Press,
who accepted it.
Again, the colors can be modified easily. The shape is what matters.
ORIGINAL CODE
THE ORIGINAL CODE TEMPLATE :
Don't let the color upset you.
The colors and graphics can be easily changed.
The basic shape is what matters.
NOTE: Original Code allows for greater flexibility. But you have
to maintain it yourself through FTP clients.
Unless you are good with HTML and FTP clients, we strongly recommend you use Word Press,
not Original Code.
Calvary North Bay (Actual Site)
NOTE: Pastor Fusco knows HTML coding, which is why an original code
site was built for him. Pastor Fusco knows how to maintain it himself.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!
- Buy the webhosting. We cannot do it for you.
- Get a Linux package. Most servers are linux, but make sure to ask
- Try to avoid GoDaddy
- We recommend one of these three hosts:
- Host Gator: About $110 a year - unlimited bandwidth - you can add more domains
- Lunarpages: About $90 a year - high bandwidth - you can add more domains
- 3ix: About $40 a year - but limited bandwidth - limited domains
- Call us before you buy a host - so we can locate discount coupons for you.
Of the three, we really recommend Host Gator, but Lunarpages is also very good. Host Gator is the easiet to use and offers the most options. But Lunarpages sometimes offers free software.
3ix is cheaper but it is limited in bandwidth and in domains, and you cannot call for help.
We really recommend Word Press, since it allows you to maintain the site yourself.
We will only do original coding if you or your agent knows HTML.
Because of the number of sites he has done, he cannot maintain them all. So he recommends Word Press, which is easy to maintain, UNLESS you know HTML and FTP already.
