Recommendations for the future development of the product: The website works well based on the preview that the website builder, Wix, provides. There seem to be no glitches with the pages and tabs and everything is where it needs to be. In the future, when the church has grown more, the client may want to improve the website further by:
1. Developing the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) a. This addition would allow the business to appear on search engines such as Google on the first page so the business will be more recognized and get more exposure. With better SEO the business will be able to reach more potential members. 2. Adding more tabs to the Ministries page a. The Pastor wants to create more ministries as the church continues to grow. This way he feels that everyone will find something that interests them, so they will be more active in the church and community. 3. Add a promotional video to the home page a. Having a promotional video in the home page could give prospective members a view of what is going on with the church. It could draw them into the rest of the website. It could also be used in the social media pages or uploaded to YouTube which would provide more exposure for the church
Pastor DeSousa believes that by implementing the aspects previously stated more people will be interested in the the church. These aspects could help the get more exposure and thus work more toward their goal of reaching more people and increasing membership. However, he hasn’t created all the ministries he wants to which is why those pages will need to be added later as membership increases.
