For non-biased unpersonalized Web Search use All The Web Or, wish to help a Good Cause? Use Good Search
UPDATE: I have revised my search engine use with different results. This is because of the way Google uses search engine history to list and feature results which skews the data for a website developer like myself. Thus the changes. However, after TWO WEEK THIS PAGE is ranked on page two in an All The Web Search of First Congregational United Church of Christ Mount Vernon Ohio and ranked 4th on page one using Good Search (using the same search criteria) which is now my default search engine for other good reasons too.
This site (after 6 weeks) is now RANKED 4 on All The Web using the same search criteria spelled out above.
I have my ways, but the quickness by which this happened in so short a period of time is no less than spectacular. Where will that search lead after a month or so? NOTE: I like to tinker alot and changed the URL directory to DEMO from FIRST_MV. This might well degrade the search position, but, I have massaged some other things as well to help the position. Time will tell. READ ABOVE. I THINK NOT!
Search Engine Optimization is not rocket science. It is calculated strategy. If you got here. And, really want to go here www.mvucc.org there is a reason. And, every website I build is impacted by that knowledge.
This website is RUNNING as a DEMONSTRATION SITE. Peruse the site contents although you will not find much content. Learn more about the CMSimple CMS backend and more about me at William Brandes Consulting.
If you are paying MORE THAN $200 a YEAR after the website is created, you are paying too much. Way too much. You might be running a charity BUT NOT that kind of charity.
Alot of the WOW is simply design skills. Check out a unique template by me for another DEMO SITE using FREE Blogger. Probably doesn't look like any Blogger site you have seen. I'm a can-do kinda guy.
Why? Because almost all of the programs used for online maintenance and editing of a website are FREELY offered General Public License programs. That includes WordPress, Joomla, PHPWebsite, Simple Machine. Drupal. B2Evolution, XOOPS and many more. What you need is someone that is honest enough to find out what YOU really require in a website. Not a bundle of items that YOU WILL FIND time-consuming AND NOT effective. But, what you will use? What fills your requirements? No more and no less.
I see alot of church websites underutilized because of the obvious (time constraints) for updating unless of course you plan on having one person dedicated FULL TIME to keeping that website fresh. So, SIMPLE works and works well.
My home church Claridon Congregational United Church of Christ uses CMSimple (even though I have worked with dozens of programs and could use anything) as the back end editing engine and YOUR church can do the same. The entry pages and template design are my doing. The rest is out of the box wonderful coding allowing you to edit and write content to the site online. In fact, everything you see on this page can be edited. The stylesheet, The configuration, The template or frame around editable content boxes to the left and center where this writing sits. There is image uploading from your desktop. Same with other files such as PDF and WORD that are placed in a download directory which you can link too. Text and images are inserted into the page at will.
You can also create new links and add them to the SITE DIRECTORY with ease. In fact, sublinks cascading through 3 additional levels if need be. See the bottom of this page (or indented link under About Us in the SITE Directory to the left) if you want to READ MORE.
