Online Mini-Course Your
Congregation’s Website: A Tune-up With: Scott Thumma Tuesday, November 10 through Friday, November 21
Every 24 months or 24,000 visitors a congregation should seriously evaluate its web presence. It helps to step back and look at the site objectively and critically. Is the site working the way we want? Does it clearly portray who we are and what our mission is? Is it reaching our intended audience? And what could we do to make it better? This two-week online mini-course will explore these and other questions about having a church website. This online program will visit the sites of participants and, in a kind and helpful manner, offer impressions, comments and suggestions about them. We will read a few articles on web design and on re-design, have “guided tours” of great congregational web sites, and lively, moderated discussions. But what if your congregation doesn’t have a site? No problem! The course will touch on design issues, creating a new site, essential features of church web sites, and other topics that would greatly benefit a congregation that is thinking about starting its own site. Scott Thumma will serve as Web Mechanic and moderator of this mini-course. Scott is Faculty Associate in Web and Distance Education at Hartford Seminary and a sociologist of religion. He is the administrator of the Seminary’s technology and websites and director of its distance education program. Scott has written and lectured about religion on the Internet and will soon begin a research project on how congregations use the web.
