First steps Talk about and decide the primary message you want to communicate to anyone visiting the site. Decide who your primary audience will be. If you're primarily communicating with your congregation, consider that members are of different generations. If you're aim is to attract seekers of a particular generation, ask for advice from a member of that generation in determining the content and style of your site. This person will need to know how to create web pages.
Some people manually combine HTML code with text and graphics to create pages.
Such software automatically inserts HTML commands for carriage returns, paragraph breaks, creation of tables, and positioning of graphics and pictures. Strictly speaking, one needn't know HTML code to use software such as Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Pagemill, Dream Weaver, WebExpress HTML Editor and many others. These days, it's likely that someone in the congregation has some expertise in creating and posting pages. The other option is to hire someone in the community to design and maintain the web site. Arrange a meeting with the webmaster to discuss the design of the site.
