Web Site Development, Policies, Maintenance & Operation

Introduction
This manual has been developed to support the mission and objectives for St. John’s Web Site. The mission is:

“Enhance Our Ability to do God's Work and Our Ministries Through Excellence in Information & Communication”

Three excellent resources were instrumental in guiding the development of the web site. The first two, “About Church Web Sites”, and “The Church and the Internet”, are found on the Internet at:

  • www.interlog.com/~dekoing/Church.Web.html,
  • http://justus.anglican.org/resources/tracts/nc/

The third, “Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity” by Jakob Nielsen is published by New Riders Publishing and is available in the Tompkins County Library.

The philosophy and purposes this manual are:

  • Strongly encourage, facilitate, and support participation in the ministries and activities of St. John’s.
  • An easily accessible, central, current resource for the development, use and maintenance of a successful web site.
