Why do you think this is one of his favorite school websites?
Dave Black’s Thoughts about Compelling Lutheran School Websites
It must be visual “I want to see pictures
of happy and engaged students.”
Remember – each picture implies a promise so be sure to be able to back it up.
Make sure you have a specific school web address for marketing purposes.
Reason – “Many websites have one domain name, and the main page shows links to both the church and school. If that is the case, purchase an additional domain to use specifically for the school and use that address as a forwarder to the existing school page on your site.”
Think two tracksVisitorsExisting families
What does each group need or want to know?
What is the Call to ActionWhat can you do with your
website to move the person from viewing the website to providing you the opportunity to make a personal contact with the family?
Joel Koerschen (California, Nevada, Hawaii District)
“A website is not for telling someone everything about yourself -- it is for sharing how you have the ability to solve their concerns and problems. What problems are you solving with your design and with the information you share.”
