A website works for you• A website is like having a
street address. It says: – Where we are– Who we are– What we have to offer you
• Open 24/7 and always available.
• Is able to provide information to people who are in need when you’re not available.
Shares your culture• Your website should reflect and
explain your culture. • People should be able to go to your
website and instantly recognize you and what you do.
• Creates a welcoming and friendly presence before meeting in person.
Connects you to people• Keeps people updated with what’s going on.• Allows people to find you and contact you.• Reach a few or thousands with newsletters & emails.• Share success stories and inspire people.
A website is a major resource
• Provides downloadable documentation to people who are in need.
• Has the ability to securely receive donations and create fundraisers.
• Links chaplains to other chaplains and chaplaincies, to other agencies and departments.
How to use your website• Keep content fresh and updated
weekly or at a minimum monthly.– Blog– News– Events– Video or audio
