I'm looking to propose some changes to our local church's webpage...it currently looks like it was designed by an 8th grader for an intro to html project. They don't need anything complicated:
- 10-15 pages for various program information (I'm thinking a 2 page template)
- download links for past sermons
- host pictures and video of retreats and other events
It's mostly to keep people informed of current issues and upcoming projects/events.
They have their domain and hosting already set up but what I want to do is switch content management to the church instead of an outside 3rd party. This way 3 or 4 key program people at the church can login and update their pages with new content quickly and easily. At this point noone has a clue about webpage editing at the church so it would have to be buddy basic, although some training is fine.
I've done a number of simple html pages....YEARS AGO....I used pretty much just html and some dreamweaver. Reading around it seems like dreamweaver might still be the best way to go so I was wondering what you guys think of either purchasing or finding a free basic dreamweaver template (I have enough photoshop skills to make the basics for buttons, banners and logos) and then managing content through dreamweaver.
or
Is it worth outsourcing for the complete setup? I don't mind doing some work on it for them, there is no pay but I have no issues helping them out to set up...but I don't want long term commitment to it's management so they (complete webpage newbs) need to take it over within a year or so. Again, they would need content ownership and access as there would be almost daily updates to some of the pages.
Other suggestions would be great. Again, is nothing fancy, just a nice looking and informative page.
