Challenge
"We realized more and more people found us through the Web.  We knew we needed a more professional Website that was kept up-to-date by experts.  Marketing Continuum has enabled us to expand our ministry online, without having to add staff.  It's a great relationship."  Minister Donise Dillard, Living By The Word Family Church .

Solution
Marketing Continuum developed a functional and professionally managed site for the church. By building a new site that served the church's needs today as well as into the future, new innovations were possible. These included the integration of unique components such as:

•  Virtual tours of the church buildings and facilities

•  Online bookstore offering the church's in-house products as well as additional materials sold in their physical store

•  Volumes of information on specific ministries, activities and more

•  Monthly email newsletters providing up-to-date activity information, inspiring words from the Pastor

•  Contact Form enabling anyone to send a private, confidential message to the Pastor or a staff member

•  Search engine submission to ensure the new site is correctly categorized and recorded by the most influential traffic cops on the Internet

•  Online TV/Radio Station due to streaming audio & video directly from the website

Additionally, Marketing Continuum provides monthly maintenance services for the site to ensure all of the latest information in the church is on the Website.

• Attendance for major functions at the church has increased by 25% in 2 months .
  
• The site has become an invaluable resource for members and individuals looking for a church home.
