As of this year, Generation Y outnumbers Baby Boomers and 96% of Generation Y is so connected to the internet that it is their primary source of information. In order to survive as a Church, you must grow, and in order to grow in 2010, you must be online. At Okeedoke Studios, we strive to provide Churches with the best for prices that they can afford.
We have developed our own website editor, which allows us to provide Churches with completely customized, extremely easy to use websites for as low as $600/down and $200/month with a 2 year contract. With this plan you receive:
a custom design
we don’t just place your logo on a template and call it custom, we design each site from the ground up, communicating with you through the entire process. We provide a homepage design and a detail page design - that complements the feel of the homepage. Unlike most companies, however, we don’t charge per page. You are able to add, delete and edit pages. As long as they have the same design as the detail pages, they are unlimited for the same low price.
search engine optimization
this phrase is a big deal with everyone right now, because what is the use of a site if no one can find it? The simple fact is - a completely custom website is already more appealing to the major search engines than a template. We don’t have to charge more for it (like a lot of companies) because everything we do is customized - therefore optimized.
our own website editor
this is simply a fancy name for the fact that you are able to efficiently and easily add, delete or edit things on your page. Our editor (which we have developed from scratch) incorporates:Calendar - post events and happenings along with office hours and service times.
Blog Capabilities - let everyone know things that have happened, are going to happen, thoughts or devotionals with ease. Our editor allows you to write just as if using a word processor and allows you to see what it looks like without having to log out.
Photo Gallery - a picture is worth a thousand words. Let people see for themselves what you do, with a slideshow on your homepage. We give you the ability to add, delete and change the order of your pictures easily to add personalized touches.
Contact Form - make it easy for people to get more information by linking it directly to your email.Video Integration and Podcasts - allow people to see and hear what you have to offer before they even step foot in your building. That way they will feel connected to the church before they come in. Podcasts allow you to put your sermons online and videos can be used to show testimonials, missions or simply a background to your building and church opportunities. Need help developing a quality video? We do that too and can sit down and figure out a solution that fits your needs.
Email List Database - need to send out a mass email for prayer requests, events or changes in services? We provide you with the tools to make this simple instead of re-entering everyone’s email each time.
Multiple Users - have more than one person that needs access to the editor? Do you have someone that is only in charge of the calendar? blogging? photos? Our editor lets you have control over who has control and what they have control of. By being able to reset passwords and assign jobs, you can know exactly who is doing what and what they are doing.
unlimited email addresses
every one involved in the church has their own purpose, so make it easy for them to stay in contact with their own church email address.
social networking integration
does your church have a presence on Facebook? Twitter? LinkedIn? if you do, or you would like to, we make it easy by integrating all of these together for you so that you can post once and it posts everywhere - including your website. We would love to help you set up and learn how to use these tools to your advantage.
hosting
some companies leave it to you to deal with finding and paying for hosting, domain names, registration and email addresses. At Okeedoke Studios, we deal with those details so that you don’t have to worry. Better yet - it’s included.
support
our 2 year contract not only covers the cost of the site, it also provides you with the comfort of knowing that you have our support. We handle technical support, training, content changes (for when you are too busy to do them) and any questions you have. As long as you don’t need a different design or a new graphic - there are no additional costs.
personal attention
we understand how difficult it is to turn such a big part of your church over to strangers. That is why we would like to meet you for coffee and get to know you. We don’t just consider the people we work with clients - we consider them friends.At Okeedoke Studios, we strive to help churches grow and websites are just one of the things we have to offer. Our other services include: quality video, logo design, custom sermon graphics and print material design. We would love the opportunity to sit down with you and see what we can create together.
