Christian blog about church website design

These last days I kept on thinking about what should I do to create a community here.

Theory on what to do to grow a site

From the point of view of how to make a site popular, theory is simple: make it useful, easy to use and send to others and in time it will grow. Well, that’s the theory, indeed. How about the practical side of this story? I started to analyze these last days MT site and ask myself what could I do to make it more useful and easy to use? How could I make it user driven instead of being run by me?

Make the site useful. Period.

I think that the first answer I could think of about making it useful is to have more web templates published for free and the only way I could do this is to have people submitting such free website templates to be published, because without support from people all around the internet, it is not easy to grow.

Get help

So, in my opinion, the first thing I should do it to make more designers submit their work. This way, the collection of free religious templates will grow and the site itself will become more and more useful. Right? This is what I think about as a first step then, I will operate some changes(actually enhancements) on how the site operates, so you, as a user of this site to find the templates easier. When there will be more templates, there will be more difficult to find them. So I am thinking about a rating system, selection by author, by downloads, etc. I will see…

I also have other ideas, I wish I only have the necessary time for this since changes require time and this is something I don’t have much on my hands lately!
