Why your fancy website sucks.
Today, Church Marketing Sucks published an article that I wrote called “Why your fancy website sucks.” I am very thankful to the guys over there at CMS for giving me a place to use the word “sucks” a lot in an article.
Seriously, I’m pretty honored to be included on their site as I’ve been a long-time follower and fan. It is a great resource for anyone involved in church work. I say anyone, not just those who have titles with “communications” or “technology” in them. The truth is that communication is something we all do so I highly recommend you check out their site, especially the article that I wrote. 
And let me know what you think …

Tim,
I read your article on CMS, and I have to say AMEN as well. I have spent a lot of time speaking and trying to educate churches on why fancy is not better not to mention the tacky factor. As an SEO/PPC Specialist I cringe when I get a request for a search engine evaluation and they have an all flash site. I keep hoping that churches will get the fact that visitors are going to go to their site before they actually visit and if they seem some gaudy and or flash website they will carry that impression with them whether they actually attend or not. Keep up the good work!
