Christian blog about church website design
Click to go back to the site, to the collection of free Christian website templates and our nice church website design.I want my visitors contribute
I am thinking very much about how to make people contribute to MT site, the idea is to allow Christian designers to upload Christian templates so everybody can download them. But it requires a bit of work on my side since I don’t have the infrastructure ready and I can never find the time for it, even if I want very much to have this feature implemented.
I really believe that contribution from your visitors is the key to success. I can upload a number of church templates, but if you will help me, the number will grow very much (I hope) and it will help us all. A large number of religious web templates available here would make every user happy. Me too, by the way 
So, this is the trend, to make MT interactive, but I can not tell when it will happen. I know I speak about this since a long time but I really want to make it happen,sooner or later. Keep your finger crossed 
Is it possible that Google serve AdSense ads on the sites you visit based on your Google preferences?
Why am I asking this? I run this site, site that has a Christian related profile, right? I also own LayoutGarden.com that among other things speaks about Christian MySpace layouts.
I was visiting a site that has not a strong Christian profile. This site is providing general layouts for MySpace. What do you think I see there? Well, Christian ads from AdSense. I asked myself why? Is it because of the page content?Well, the content was not Christian,but general. Or is it due to my profile, since I am logged on to Google account? Maybe Google takes into consideration such kind of information, displaying on visited sites contextual advertising more interesting for me as a visitor.
Do you think it would be possible? I would like to hear some comments, please!
Less is more…
I am conducting an experiment related to advertising on MT. I am trying to see if less is indeed more or is just…less. I will know it by tomorrow, but until now, the results are already promising and are showing me that indeed less is more. I don’t want to talk more about this for the moment, the experiment it is running, it is not good to interact while running.
It is not easy to let go to some things that you got used to, and with me it is even more difficult, since I never knew how to let go, but I am trying to learn. I think it becomes a personal experience!! Oh, and this should be just a site experiment. Well, all for the best, site or personal, let’s see it…
Looking for ideas in my Christian niche…
Yes, I am looking for ideas in the limits of my site’s Christian niche, to make it go upper than it is now. I am happy with how my site is doing but I want to take it further. If you would like to have something more on this website, Christian resources, please let me know. Ok, you might say that I will steal your ideas. Ok, those of you that think this, don’t send anything. but those of you willing to help, willing to share their ideas with other Christian sites, please send me an email, give me an idea. I really put my heart into this site. I started to provide Christian web templates, I succeeded in bringing it on the first page of Google, now I want to extend my niche! Wanna help me?
About Christian design and Christian graphics
I was thinking about a Christian design contest, where Christian designers post their work and get reviews. Or at least just a Christian design online gallery, where people get to show their works. It is just a thought. I have so many ideas these days that I can not make them all work, but who knows, maybe I will manage to do something about Christian design…
Are there a lot of church websites using Mambo or Joomla?
I am curious to know if there are many church websites using CMS systems like Mambo or Joomla. If so, I am thinking that we could also expand our collection of open source website templates to also offer Mambo and Joomla templates. It would be interesting to know how many churches use Mambo or Joomla CMS systems.
Ideas for my church website design site…
I sit here and look at MagicTemplate.com, thinking something like: ok, what now? I am thinking about a few ideas…what should it be the direction to follow with MT?
User accounts to upload church website design templates
I am thinking about implementing user accounts so people be able to upload their own templates. This way, the collection of church website designs will grow. Just that I am not shure how many of my visitors are actually designers and how many are plain users…
 Web directory
Yeah, a web directory, to make it grow day by day. With links back to MT…
Forum
Ok, I have already tried the forum thing just that I didn’t kept it. Too many spammers that made me scream. But with a bit of management and patience…
Christian website awards
Yeah! This is something that I wanna do since a long time. People put their site up for review, and MT to give a rating and a Gold, Silver or Bronze award to be displayed on user site! I think I like this idea!
What do you think?
Offering large discounts when purchasing templates for active links from church website design sites
Only for church website design and baptist church websites
I am thinking to start offering discounts larger than those discounts I am offering at the moment for linking back to www.MagicTemplate.com .Let’s say that it is the same way like when buying links. The sites linking back to us should be church website design sites, baptist church websites, and the discount would be offered on personal basis.
It is just an idea, for the moment, I am not sure how successful it would be this.
If somebody designs more than church websites, is he still on the niche?
I ask myself if somebody does more than church websites design, could is he still on the niche? Could he still be named Christian designer? Why not just designer? Church web design is just one thing among others? Then why using it as a front thing? Just for the niche? Church web site design? Hmm, well, it’s a point I’d say! What do you think about it?
Church web site design
I ask myself if it would be good or not to display some of the church sites that use our church site design. I haven’t made up my mind yet. Would it be right to show 3-4 church sites using some of our templates? Most of the times, these churches don’t even adapt the templates in any way, they just use them on their sites. The idea is not just to use the template, but also adapt it, so your site looks different, even if using the same initial site design. Anyway, would it be right or not?
Our topic is Church site design so in some way I could say that these sites would represent some kind of a portfolio for MagicTemplate.com. I am not sure, I will sleep on it…
