This will kill two birds with one stone. I think the elders expressed interest in having a web site but that is not definitive. Martin did say he wanted a way to get an email to every member that has an email. I can set an email Forwarder with this web hosting service. (cPanel Email Forwarding)
This is also an interesting service: http://www.churchtextingmanager.com/. This allows you to send a SMS to a group of folks but this is a monthly cost of $25.
Another interesting service is http://www.tgethr.com/. This allows you to create email groups. Lowest service is $6 per month; 3 groups, unlimited messages, 250mb of messages stored on site (messages are sent via email but also stored on the web site).
And yet another interesting service is http://www.onecallnow.com/Religious/unlimited-monthly.aspx?vw=1 which is $6.99 monthly for up to 25 numbers. This is one of those call and leave a message services that will then call everybody on the list. This would replace the phone tree we have but I think is too much of an expense.
Nice list of web site templates.
Another CMS choice might be MODx.
Free CSS Templates
A Free Search tool for web sites: Zoom Search Engine
Some other possibilities for web hosting:
- godaddy.com
- bluehost.com
- http://www.justhost.com/secret-link (this one might be the best - further research on this one)
jMP3 - jQuery MP3 Player
Update 12/16/2009:
I think the best thing to do would be to go with WordPress. I have played around a little bit and think that corporatesandbox is a very nice theme. Found a plugin called BibleGateway Verse Of The Day. Both of these have been modified and are in the following folder:
C:\Lance\Programs\Internet\wamp\apps\wordpress1\wp-content
Also, another nice plugin: Apture
Another really good WP Theme is Wordpress II Silver.
