What do you get?

Church:/Advance is rich in features that help you create a great-looking, effective website, but without having to tweak away at complicated html code behind the scenes. All the features are presented in familiar toolbars, similar to Microsoft Word.

Pictures, documents and media files are all handled

It's easy to upload each of these files to your website. Simply browse to the location of each file on your computer and files are added to queue, then when you're finished they are uploaded and distributed to the appropriate folders automatically, pictures, audio or video!

Web Forms

Our custom form builder is great! Drag and drop items on to your form and use it to gather info from your website visitors, (i.e. registrations for an event or feedback).

Easy to design and easy to use - forms that gather all the information and send it back to you in an email.

For larger organisations, you could use the form builder for visitors to submit questions, request to be posted literature or DVDs or to book seminars at a conference.

Headings

Set up heading styles to subdivide your content clearly, with our familiar style picker. We'll set up your heading styles in a style sheet, so you can consistently apply them throughout your site.

Headings

Paste from Word

Save time by pasting content (including headings and lists), directly from a Word document. If you have added styles (e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3) to your Word document, Church:/Advance will convert them to it's Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles, to save you having to re-apply them.

Revisions

Maintain drafts of your pages - make edits at a time convenient to you and then publish them later - you're never editing the live web page.

Revisions

Anchors

In a long web page, for example a larger church's staff names and photos, anchors can be used like bookmarks for visitors to jump from the top of the page to a specific place further down.

Time and date stamp for page creation

Turn this feature on or off and use it to show your website visitors when a page was last updated. This helps people by guiding them towards recently update information. You can also use it to create a simple blog, perhaps from the pastor or the youth worker!

Multi-level navigation

Your content can be organised into several levels, eg an events page, with each separate even listed on its own page.

Support for Google Maps

Want people to know where you are? Church:/Advance supports embedded Google Maps, so you can provide a graphical map and directions.
