When It's Time to Redesign Your Church Website

Depending on who and what you read, you can find different opinions on how often you should redesign or refresh your website. If it’s a website design company, the answer is probably “six months ago.” They like the business, after all.

Reevaluating and redesigning or refreshing your church website is something that I believe should be done on a regular basis. Thom Rainer points out that your website can stop people from visiting your church. Here is what he says about the importance of a well-designed website:

A well-designed website is essential to reaching more people in your community.
