Custom Web 2.0 Church Site Design

ChurchPixel Sites are designed using web 2.0 design techniques that conform to the W3C design standards. These designs are fresh with legible text and user-friendly navigation. The layout is functional and the use of well-coordinated color schemes makes the sites easy on the eye and simply beautiful.

As Many Pages As You Need

With ChurchPixel, you can create as many site pages as you like YOURSELF after we deploy the site. Although the system runs on advanced architecture, it is incredibly easy to add additional pages to the sites. A department might have an event coming up and would like to dedicate a new page to the event. With ChurchPixel, creating additional pages is as easy as clicking two buttons: Create Page and Upload. Creating additional pages do NOT require any prior web programming experience and could be done in as little as 3 minutes.

Blog (Staff, Pastor, Articles)

ChurchPixel sites come with a blogging utility. Pastors and designated church officials can maintain and update their own blogs. Blogs are an effective way to share weekday messages with your congregation by writing about different spiritual topics that could not be passed on during service days. Congregation members can subscribe to blogs RSS feeds and receive updates as soon as they become available

Online Photo And Video Gallery

Functional galleries are a good way to showcase your church service and events to prospective attendees. With our state of the art video and photo galleries, you can post, organize and share videos on the sites. You can arrange videos into categories, events and even tag the videos/images for easy indexing. Site users can share gallery links with friends thus promoting the site. You will get unlimited uploads and even Youtube connectivity.

Podpress - Sermon

Podcasts have now become one of most effective ways of distributing audio media over the Internet by syndication using feeds and downloads to mobile devices and personal computers. You can also start podcasting on iTunes and have listeners subscribe to feeds. What makes podcasts so different from other media distribution means is that it allows users to subscribe to audio content and also enable automatic downloads whenever new content is available. ChurchPixel sites have podcasting utility integrated in an easy to use interface.

Facebook Connect Integration

For select packages only and upon request, we will integrate Facebook® Connect to the site to unleash the power of social networking. Facebook is a social networking community connecting over 120+ million friends and family members. Integrating Facebook Connect allows any Facebook user visiting the site to log in to your site automatically using their Facebook user IDs. Once logged in, users can make comments on blogs and news items and even post comments back to their Facebook profiles. Users can see their Facebook friends and invite them to visit/use your site!

E-commerce Store

Included in the ChurchPixel package is a fully functional e-commerce store front for listing items for sale. With the store function, churches can list items like books, CDs, shirts and even charge for downloadable sermons. Churches can list as many items as they want and collect payments through PayPal. Getting a stand-alone e-commerce website could run into thousands of dollars which makes the ChurchPixel suite a value adding investment.

Online Fund-Raising And Donation

Raising funds and accepting tithes/donations has never been easier. With ChurchPixel, sites are enabled with payment prompts to accept online payments (credit/debit cards) using PayPal.

Prayer Requests

With our easy to customize forms, site users can now submit prayer requests online which can be directed automatically to a specified email address. Collecting prayer requests no longer requires paper submissions as users can submit at the comfort of their homes at any given time.

Dymanic Events Calendar

ChurchPixel-featured events calendar allows the administrator to create events that are displayed in a dynamic calendar on the front end. Calendars can give summary events below the month and will display full information when the date is clicked on. The advanced feature in the calendar will allow users to comment on a calendar entry, very useful for clarifications and suggestions on events!

Statistics

See who is visiting your site when and from where any time. Using google analytics, you can have your site’s statistics at your fingertip including statistics on all individual pages.

Easy-to-use Church Content Management System (CMS)

Included in the ChurchPixel package is a robust CMS for easy site updates. With the CMS, designated church staff can make updates and editions to the content on the site, which includes page content, news articles, calendar entries, videos, sermons and many more. With our award winning CMS integration, updating the church site becomes as easy as uploading an email attachment and hitting “send” (update)! No web programming experience required at all. The CMS can also be multi-admin enabled, meaning different people can be assigned administrative rights for different pages on the site.

Sermon Transcription Service

Send us your sermon audio files and we would transcribe them to text for use on your website. People are more likely to listen to a sermon if they can browse through the text to get the gist

Newsletter

Our newsletter component allows you send out mass emails to users who already subscribed to your website. This is a great way to send notifications of site updates and messages.
