What High Tech Ministry is offering as the ministry donation:

Special Note regarding Free Websites - If you are a medium size church in the USA, or have a job in addition to your ministry, or can raise funds - I ask that you help this ministry and many 3rd world churches by making a minimal $150  donation and/or paying for your monthly hosting of $49 setup and $29/mo. If you look at the 'See Our Work' page you'll see how many sites we are doing and the fruit of your donation.

Special Note #2 regarding Free Websites - After 4 years of offering this service, we are being overwhelmed with the churches from 3rd world countries needing websites. Therefore, American churches will be asked by us to become internet sister churches with a 3rd world church and to donate $65 to this ministry for their website. The design of both sites will look the same and have a link to each other.

Special Note #3 to churches in Africa and India - please find a sister church to donate $65 for your website. This will benefit both your church and the new sister church. Both will grow and be blessed because of it.


Each new website receives:

1. a domain name registration handled by us. ($35 value) and website 
hosting setup ($49 one time + $15-$30/mo. value) and Email accounts.

2. a 5-8 page website with the basic information ( $500 value ); 
Home page, About Us, Faith Statement, Ministries, Services/Facilities, News. 

We provide prescripted - Inquiry Form, Prayer Request, Salvation page,
Invite a friend script, Bible Search, 

3. Graphics and pictures could be uploaded and posted as sent by church

4. Site updateable through front page and/or the browser

5. Website support

6. We provide a traffic analyzer for you.

7. You get a free login account to our Ministry Blog at www.livingwithjesus.org/blog 


  
"Great for churches just getting on the internet".  

Please visit the Internet Freebies at  www.hightechministry.org for a list of awesome 
free resources for you website.

Please visit http://www.hightechministry.org/cbt/training.htm for a step by step
guide on submitting to search engines and website marketing.


What might cost money later:

1. Significant design changes and additions
2. Expansion of the number of pages
3. Repetitive updating of text (more then 1x per month)

These three items above do happen fairly often...BUT, it is because
the website has caught on and is performing. If someone in your
church or ministry obtains a copy of Front Page (www.microsoft.com/frontpage)
they can do updates etc. themselves as easily as doing a Word Document.
Front Page is included in MS Office Suites too.
