A good building project website will offer an opportunity for congregational feedback and answer the following questions:
Why? The most important part of a building project website is that it clearly explains the vision and answers the question “Why are we engaged in a building project?”
What? Next, it is important to give some details about the project. Possibly include floor plans and renderings. Consider the level of detail that you want to show, as not everyone is likely to agree with the space allocations.
How? Another major question is, “How will this be paid for?” List what funds are needed and/or the progress made towards raising those funds. Include a statement describing the source of funding. Offer the opportunity to make donations via the web.
Feedback. Allowing comments or using a web-response form will allow congregant voices to be heard. A FAQ may help reduce duplicate questions and provides answers to common concerns. Whether through comments, or a web-response form, be sure to address all concerns in some way.
If your church needs help, contact WPH ? Architects for Ministry to help you develop a website to aid in congregational involvement.
