Why Use WordPress?
When it comes to choosing a platform for your church or organization website it can be very confusing. We think WordPress is a great option for churches and non-profit organizations for a number of reasons.
1. WordPress is Free
There is no cost to use WordPress, and many hosting companies make it super easy to install WordPress for your website. While there are a lot of Content Management Systems (CMSs) out there, some of them can get rather costly, especially for organizations working with a limited budget.
2. WordPress Makes it Easy to Edit and Add Content
Without a CMS you will need to be able to edit HTML or hire a designer for even the simplist of changes. With WordPress (or with another good CMS) you can easily change content like text and photos, and you can add new pages to the site, with no need to touch the HTML code.
3. WordPress Can Be Hosted Anywhere
Some Content Management Systems require you to host your site with them, and the monthly fees are often more costly than the average hosting account. With WordPress you can use the hosting company of your choice, which makes it more affordable to maintain your site.
Why Use Our WordPress Themes?
We offer WordPress themes for free to anyone who signs up for a hosting account with Eleven2 through our affiliate link (see the offer details). We host our own website with Eleven2 and we know they'll take good care of you.
1. They're Free with Hosting Signup
There are no direct costs to using our WordPress themes. You'll need to pay for hosting anyway, so why not sign up with a great host and get a free theme as a bonus? The low cost of Eleven2's hosting (starts at $5 per month) and a free WordPress theme will give you a quality website for almost no cost.
2. They're Designed Specifically for Churches and Non-Profit Organizations
We created these WordPress themes with churches and non-profit organizations in mind. The features discussed below have been built into the themes to make them as useful as possible.
3. Add Your Own Logo
Each theme makes it easy to add your own logo through the WordPress dashboard. Just upload the file from your computer and it will be inserted into your website's header.
4. Homepage Slideshow
Each theme includes a slideshow on the homepage that allows you to add your own images. You can use this to draw attention to upcoming events, an upcoming sermon series, specific ministries, or anything else of priority.
5. Events List
Get maximum exposure for your upcoming events by providing details on your website. The events page displays events in chronological order according to when they are occurring, and events are automatically removed from the list after they occur.
6. Sermon Audios
Our church themes include functionality to add sermon/message mp3 files to your site. Your visitors can listen to messages with the built in audio player.
7. Multiple Color Schemes (on some themes)
Some of our themes offer your choice of multiple color schemes. Simply choose the color you would like to use from the WordPress dashboard.
