I agree fully with Matt, as I've launched several websites - commerical ones
also - that 'died' because they were never updated or kept current (which
also means removing out-of-date content). One of my best non-profit sites
(www.jsfg.com) is still alive and well as a dedicated team of volunteers (4
people) keep it up to date - which costs them less than 30 minutes a week
each to do.
What needs updating on the Corpus Christi site?
Weekly:
The newsletter (who ever is currently having that printed can just give us
the digital version - would save quite a bit of time and get a higher
quality copy on the website faster) - 30 minutes weekly, less if the
original layout can be used.
The calendar - new, but more importantly, changed event times and locations
- a few minutes daily, with the use of a database even the secretary could
do it....
The homilies - the best way would be to have a digital recording made during
mass, but the second best method would be to get it taped, then convert that
to a mp3 file for the website. This is the most time consuming - 1 hour
weekly if from analogue tape (time to digitize), less than 5 minutes if a
digital recording can be made the first time....
Monthly:
Review links, add links to local news stories on other sites
(cincinnati.com) of interest to the parishioners, etc.
I can add a database funtion to our current site to update/change the
calendar. The remaining tasks should have at last two people assigned to
them in case one is absent or unavailable.
The design of the site is (and will stay) simple enough that minor changes
can be made by anyone with a computer - not requiring Flash or Photoshop
just to edit text, for example.
Open for comments, suggestions...
