ABOUT THIS SESSION
Reviewing Your Congregation's Website From a Visitor's Perspective
A.K.A. how to adjust your website so more people visit live!
The role of your website has changed. It is no longer just information that leads to a visit and people exploring your congregation on-site.
Today, most newcomers are trying to do their research and exploration online. They are trying to discern up front "Is this going to work?" in advance.
This means we need to look at your website as a newcomer's "first visit" and experience.
Say it with me: "The newcomer experience on our website is now the first visit."
We've talked about this conceptually, but haven't drilled down into details besides some key videos and visitor page strategy.
Whether your congregation is doing well and looking to grow or you're on the edge and getting more visitors is critical for your sustainability, I hope you'll join us!
When you register for the session there is an optional field to share your congregation's website. I'll use what I see exploring your sites to shape the tips and strategies I share without revealing your websites.
I hope you'll join us! Use the link below to register for this session.
