Church Tech Dump

Every now and then there comes an event at your church that deserves more than just a web page on the church website. You want to give this event special attention. It can’t look like every other page on your website! Besides, you want to do some cool stuff like add e-vites, an event blog, a photo gallery with pics from last year. Maybe even a registration form! But all that takes time, right? By the time you smash together a design, you have to move on to other projects. That microsite was going to be expensive anyway. Right?

It doesn’t have to be. Enter SkyCMS.

SkyCMS is a hosted content management system that lets you easily create and update websites that feature robust features like the ones mentioned above. It’s a fantastic solution for large websites, but works just as well for microsites. Best of all, if your microsite can fit within three pages or less, the website is free. Even if you need more than three pages, monthly plans are cheap.

Need a design? You’re in luck. SkyCMS has dozens of designs freely available for you to use. These templates are simple to customize if you know your way around HTML and CSS and if you are looking for a customized design, their template engine is easy to understand so you can implement your design quickly. Element Fusion, the company that offers SkyCMS, can also cut up your design for $500 if you need them to and they do it in about 5 days!

So, the next time you need a microsite for an event, give SkyCMS a try. It’s great.
