If your church is interested in finding a template-based website provider, keep these criteria in mind:
Cost. Template-based services charge monthly or annual fees for the use of their software, hosting the website, and providing a URL. Some also charge one-time setup fees. Make sure your church's budget reflects the ongoing costs associated with the website.
Template designs. Does the provider offer a wide variety of design templates? Will the template appeal to the audience you are trying to reach? Is the immediate reaction, "Wow! That's cool!"? Does it make the page "pop" with expectation?
