0 That Second Website
Most small churches could benefit from a website. However, most of them can’t afford a website. But they do need something. What is that something?
Tools like Facebook and Gmail are what I like to call second websites. They’re that backup, that one love child on the side that we all come back to for one reason or another. Sure, there’s Yahoo and Hotmail or Myspace, but we all know the secondaries do it better.
Churches need that second website
Like I said, small churches can’t afford decent web help these days. But they need something. That’s what Bigsteepl tries to be, that something. But lets not get confused. It’s not just seconds at the dinner table, its pure simplicity and ease. Your content needs to be somewhere and accessible to someone. It needs to be wrapped in something that looks good and will appeal to visitors for longer than 5 minutes. To top it off, the content has to be portable and usable for full-scale websites.
I truly believe that “second” solutions need to be easy, simple and clean. No fancy pants. Too many projects try for the big cheese, that huge insurmountable target that can only be reached with nice amounts of green at your side. Well, I don’t have nice amounts green and neither do small churches. And this is where Bigsteepl finds its sweet spot and is where I think a lot of small churches will find theirs.
