Over two and a half years ago, I wrote a series called Using WordPress for Church Websites. At the time, I was the communications director at a large Southern Baptist church in Oklahoma City and sought an affordable way to get an attractive website for our church.

You can read the whole series here ….

WordPress was the answer I found … it was easy to use and had numerous benefits – like helping the church get found online via Google and other search engines.

And after all this time, WordPress and one of our deigns is still powering the QSBC website today!

But that experience propelled me into freelance web design for clients all over the world, then eventually our first business, iThemes, where we provide high-quality templates for WordPress. (We’ve even been mentioned in the WordPress for Dummies book!)

It’s been a wild ride from that first website and the ChurchCommunicationsPro.com blog, which is ranked in the Top 100 Church blogs.

Now …. fast forward almost two years later, we’ve launched WebDesign.com to provide website design services and consulting.

Because of our team’s experience and knowledge of church marketing and church web design, we’re offering a special package designed especially for churches and ministries.

You can read about the Church Web Design package details here.

If your church or ministry is looking for a great web design or redesign solution, we’d love to talk with you about your site.

This package is designed to get you an affordable yet attractive website … with some special features like podcasting and an event calendar — both popular requests we’ve gotten from our church clients.

You can visit our contact form and email us, or call us toll-free at 888-743-0274!

In the meantime, thanks for following CCP!

P.S. — If you’ve been wanting to start a blog for your ministry, check out our Blog Design package too. It’s a great way to get started with the right design and tools to give you maximum impact!

A couple months ago, iThemes started a great conversation with Anil Dash, a Vice President from Six Apart, about developing premium blog themes for Movable Type – one of the largest Open Source blogging platforms available.

Today we announce our new Movable Type Premium Theme Store from iThemes.

There are three MT themes available; Business Blogger which is FREE THEME DOWNLOAD, Blogging Success (based off of our WordPress version), and soon to arrive Essence. This is an exciting time for us and we are really pumped about this new partnership with Six Apart!

Please check out our Movable Type Theme Store or visit iThemes for our WP Premium Themes.

Hey CCP Readers!  I know it has been quite a while since I have been active here and I offer my apologies!

Since I’ve joined the iThemes team, we have been blasting out a bunch of new projects which has kept us all pretty swamped.  One of the major products we released this morning is a new WordPress theme called Flexx Theme. It is off the wall, and I believe for churches (or anyone else for that matters) it is going to absolutely change the playing field when it comes to church blogs or church websites.

Here’s just a few of the goodies that Flexx Theme is capable of doing:

  • Offering 1,056 layouts variations!
  • Click of the button layout and styling options.
  • Easy to upload backgrounds and headers without FTP.
  • No coding experience needed or required to use!
  • Rotating and Fading Image Headers.
  • Automatically Search Engine Optimized.
  • Built in Color Picker for Background Colors
  • and more things you can shake a stick at!

I will also be working on FLEXX THEME: CHURCH which will be released at ChurchTheme.com in the next week or so.  Either way you won’t want to miss getting it but if you do want the original Flexx Theme then get it now because the price will go up next week!

All this to say what ties into my headline.

We are going to load the Flexx Theme for Church Communications Pro to show it off and so you can see how it works.  So please excuse the mess as we start relaunching CCP and give it one new sweet look!

Church Communication Pro is a blog and website dedicated to helping churches with church media, church marketing and church branding resources. We strive to keep pastors and their teams updated with the most effective methodologies and tools for church communication efforts.
