Profile of a Good Web Team

Page 1: Introduction


You've heard that there are two sure things in life -- death and taxes. But I'd like add a third--you'll never be able to maintain your church site alone. Many a faithful churchgoer has attempted and failed at the task, for one simple reason: there's just too much to do, and it never stops! Sure, you may start off strong--you may even stay strong for 6 months or a year--but eventually, you'll get burned out, and the site will die. I could list 10, 20, or 30 links to dead church sites right now, but that's not the purpose of this article--rather, I my goal in writing this is to define some team member roles, so you can pick the right people for your web team. You must bring together a team of people who are willing to do their part to make your church web site a vibrant, living information source.

Assumptions
I'm assuming that you want to get together a web team which is made up of both laypeople and paid staff. Larger churches may pay their entire web staff--but in those cases, a paper like this isn't as relevant. This paper focuses on getting together a (mostly) volunteer web team. Secondly, I'm assuming that your web site is one which can and should be updated easily, with little or no technical knowledge. If you think this is an impossibility (or have been told that be someone)--think again! Check out our OAF web site solutions to see how easy it really is.
