No Web Site Design Knowledge Needed
 
At ChurchPad.com, we know that most people simply do not know how to effectively design web pages. That's why we made it easy for you to play a major role in designing your site through your browser. Keeping your site updated is as easy as pointing, typing, and clicking.
 
It's all done through your browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer) through interactive pages that make it easy for practically anyone to learn. The content is updated instantly and made available for everyone to see by simply typing in the new information and pressing the button. What could be easier?
 
How it works
 
Your site will consist of either 3 or 4 "elements". An element is a page or feature of the site. The elements are defined below.

• Home Page (Click to View) - This page will be the starting point of your site. You will be able to upload 2 images to the home page and enter accompanying text.
• Main Calendar (Click to View) - This calendar is included with the "Platinum", "Gold" and "Silver" plans. You may add/modify/delete events on your calendar easily through your browser. All updates are completed in "real time" and appear instantly.
• Secondary Calendar (Click to View) - This calendar is included only with the "Gold" plan (an extra $10/month as compared to the "Silver" plan. You may add/modify/delete events on this calendar as you would the Main Calendar. This calendar, however, can also be titled and used for any purpose you may desire (Youth Groups, Ladies Ministries, Choir, etc.). All updates are again completed in "real time" and appear instantly.
• Pastor's Desk Page (Click to View) - This page is also included with the "Gold" and "Silver" plans. You may add/modify/delete information on this page easily through your browser. All updates are completed in "real time" and appear instantly. Suggested use is for the Pastor to use as a way of directly communicating with a congregation, but this page may also be used as a Church Bulletin, as a "Current News" page for singing groups, etc. In any case, the page is able to also be titled and can be used in whatever means you deem most needed as long as it is in compliance with our site policies.
• Additional pages - This feature is also included with the "Gold" and "Silver" plans. You will have the ability to add as many additional pages as you like to your site. Additional pages cost a one-time fee of $25/page. You may add/modify/delete information on the pages easily through your browser as you would the standard pages included with your packages.
