Engaging visitors is a key part of any church communication strategy. While in-person interactions and communications are of the utmost importance, you can support your efforts with technology! 

At first glance, churches might seem like unlikely targets for cybercrime. After all, why target churches or nonprofit organizations when there’s more money to make by exploiting the vulnerabilities of wealthier corporations?

When coming up with strategies for your church website design, you absolutely have to consider the mobile design of your site. It is said that more than 50% of all website traffic is on mobile devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means that they’re looking at the mobile version of your site to determine where it should rank in search results.

Churches often look to rank themselves on Google with SEO, so that they can reach more people for the sake of the Gospel. Local SEO is a subset of SEO, or search engine optimization, that allows your business to appear specifically in search results for your area—because you wouldn’t want your church to appear to someone located five hundred miles away. 

Your church website home page is the first page visitors will see when they come to your site. To that end, it’s important for this page to include all the information they’d need to understand what your church believes, how they can attend services, and how they can reach you.
