Guidelines for Effective Church Web Sites
After viewing a wide variety of web sites
under different viewing conditions and after
exploring effectiveness, usability and
accessibility criteria, the following guidelines
have been formulated.
If your church already has a web site online,
it can be evaluated free
by our staff to verify how it performs against
these guidelines.
|
- Is crucial information, such as worship times and
directions to the church, readily available?
- Can viewers easily locate how to contact the
church and/or the pastor?
- Are the web pages kept current? Is the last date
a page was changed visible to users?
- Can the person responsible for the web site be
easily contacted by persons viewing the site?
- Does the site load quickly through a modem
connection?
- Do the web pages display well in various
browsers?
- Does the site display acceptably at various
monitor resolutions?
- Does the first page have most of its information
"above the fold," that is, does the
first page display in the browser window without
the user having to scroll down to see important
information?
- Are the navigation links easily visible on each
page?
- Is the page background clean, that is, are there
no competing figures in any background graphic?
- Will the web pages print out such that all of the
text shows up with no chopped off or missing
words at the end of sentences?
- Are the text style and size easily readable and
can a user select a larger font size, if
necessary, through the browser's menus?
