Calling all parish webmasters! Spreading your message in cyberspace: get started with your website
28th March or 4th October 2007
Price: £95 for delegates from Church of England organisations
Does your church or organisation have a website? Is your website getting lost in cyberspace? Having an ineffective website (or no website at all) can speak volumes about your organisation. It also means you're missing out on an ideal way to communicate with your congregation and your local community. You don't have to be a web programmer to get a website that will make a big difference. This day-long practical workshop will give you the tools to get started, including time to practice technical skills, time to discuss what should be included in your website, and how to improve your website if you already have one. Ideal for parish clergy who want a website and church webmasters.
