Ideal website, email and social media platform for parishes
- Are you frustrated that you church doesn't have a website or your current website is poor?
- Do you sporadically send out emails to parishioners, but they don't look great, and you have no idea how many people read them?
- Do you want to integrate your website, emails and social media so that your articles, notices and resources automatically appear in multiple channels?
- Do you want an easy-to-use but beautiful looking solution but don't want to pay the earth?
Then keep reading - there is a solution you will love, and your parishioners will thank you for - and you'll also be able to reach more people more effectively!
The Proposal
Your parish would have access to Hail Mail which is a communications platform that enables you to send digital newsletters and magazines to parishioners. This is the platform I use for this fortnightly magazine 'Stirring'. As part of the same package, and for the same price, you would have a brand-new website which is fully integrated into Hail and supported and managed by the Hail team. It has been designed for both desktop and mobile viewing and requires no design expertise to update. It is exceptionally secure.
Example Websites:
- Demo School Site: https://hail.school/ (using a video banner, Instagram widget added)
- Selwyn United Football Team: https://sufc.co.nz/ - they also use Hail Mail to contact members across the different teams.
- Heathcote Valley School https://hvs.school.nz/
Key Features
- Text fields to add an introduction and key messages;
- Sign-up form for subscriptions to Hail Mail – this will enable you to grow your audience
- Drop-down menu items that are created from Hail articles/publications or external links – as many as needed.
- Images block for key information
- Events Calendar
- Social Media integration – Facebook or Instagram
- etc
The Offer
- A reduced pricing plan: Pro Plan features for the Starter price of $49 per month.
- Free Training for Vicar and staff
The Hail team will be at the Anglican Centre on Friday 14 April from 1pm - 2.30pm to demonstrate this offer. Everyone is invited to attend but please email me - there are space limitations. At least 4 clergy have already said they will be present.
Blessings,
Mark
