No need to worry about page limits and trying to work within them. You won't
have to combine disparate information because you are only allowed a certain
number of pages. Add pages as you need them and let your site grow to fit
your ever changing needs. |
Our Page Editing Tool comes packed with tools to help you create great looking web pages.
Control fonts used, font size, font format and font color. Create font styles to assist in providing a consistent look
throughout your site. Basic functions such as: clear content, cut, copy, paste, delete, remove formatting, undo, redo,
bold, italic and more make adding and editing written copy easy.
Create and select page templates to add content to, or create tables on the fly to bring structure to a page and
to give greater control over flow of text and images.
Insert special characters or objects to your page with tools such as special character, insert today’s
date, marquee, hyperlink, anchor, image manager, insert flash, and insert poll.
You can also control the different aspects of the functionality of the page: the page name, page security,
whether or not the page will show in your Table of Contents (TOC or navigation), and where the page is pointing (ALT
URL).
In addition to content and functionality you have additional control over the search ability of the pages you
create. You can allow a user to find a specific page when they search for it on your site. Through the use of
Meta Tags, keywords and descriptions you can increase the search-ability of your pages by many popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. |

Data transfer, sometimes referred to as bandwidth, refers to the amount of information passed to and from your website. Every time somebody looks at a page on your website, or any file you have stored on the web server, data is transferred. This is measured in megabytes (MB). The larger the files are on your website, the more data will be transferred. Each ChurchSites website hosting package comes with unlimited bandwidth/data transfer. Additional bandwidth charges may apply if you use the Audio/Video Media System. This system allows for the on-demand streaming of audio and video content. See the A/V Media System for more details. |
A storage amount of 150 MB may sound like a small amount of space; however, in the world of the web this is a large chunk of storage. For example, our site, even with all of it's graphics, flash files and downloads is only using about 5MB of space. If more storage space is needed, check our hosting chart for current pricing or ask a ChurchSites representative for more details. |
