My main website, www.writehisanswer.com, has been redesigned by SKWD Associates and I couldn’t be more excited. If you visited the site in the past couple of months, you found only one page with no banner or navigation buttons. There was more; it just wasn’t accessible. I’m praising God for the new look and SKWD’s EZ-CMS (content management system). It’s amazing and really is easy, just as Bruce promised. He told me it’s like using a word processor. And it is!
I hadn’t seen EZ-CMS in action, and I admit I was a little anxious. (I didn’t realize there is a video on their website.) I don’t do well with the learning curve of using new software (a computer can make me feel so stupid!), and with the Philly conference just three weeks away this was far from an ideal time. I’m so grateful Father encouraged me to trust Him and SKWD. I’ve not been disappointed!
Finally, I have a website that is EZ and FUN to use. I can make changes, deletions, add photos, and add pages so easily from the management menu. It’s quicker and easier than having someone else do it for a price that would have been more than I could afford. PTL! No more HTML code or CSS Style sheets!
I’ve got lots more I’m eager to add to the site but it, and the “real” shopping cart that SKWD is going to build, will need to wait until after the conference.
A professional website is such an important ministry tool, but creating one on our own can be an enormous challenge. Been there – done that! Tried so hard and yet, as I shared in a recent blog, I became very discouraged by the accusations of the evil one that my best was not good enough.
I really can’t recommend SKWD highly enough. Not only are they gifted professionals, they love the Lord and have a heart for ministry. They are certainly the answer to my prayers. Perhaps yours too!
SKWD will have a table at the August 1-4 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference. If you’re able to come, I hope you’ll stop by. But don’t wait until then! Click here for the special offer for conferees good through August 4. If you’re not able to make the conference, SKWD is still offering a discount because you’re on my mailing list.
Thank You, Father, for connecting me with SKWDMinistries. Thank You for “Their Heart” for ministry and their primary goal is also mine.
Our primary goal is to bring glory to God in all that we do . . .
with our lives,
in our websites,
partnering with other ministries,
reaching our towns, cities, country, and world . . .
Reflections on Psalm 40:1-3 (TLB)
I waited patiently for God to help me;
Well, I waited because I didn’t know how to fix the website problems.
As for patiently, let’s not go there . . .
then he listened and heard my cry.
It is clearly not a “coincidence” but a “God-incident” that a postcard connected me with SKWD Ministries.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair
After MONTHS of trying to learn Expression Web I was despairing.
Out from the bog and the mire
HTML and CSS Style Sheets were so beyond me.
and set my feet on a hard, firm path,
Through SKWD Ministries He has given me a beautiful new website
and steadied me as I walked along
and an EZ-CMS (content management system) that really is easy and FUN to use.
He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God.
But help me, Father, not just to praise You when everything is going well.
Now many will hear of the glorious things he did for me,
Father, please use the new www.writehisanswer.com website in Ephesians 3:20 ways.
and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in him.
Help us to “write Your answer” so that many will come to know You as Savior and Lord!
. . . I love this beautiful (and clever!) reflection on Psalm 40, I’m praising God along with you for this most excellent work with the website and agreeing with you that He HAS DONE abundantly more than we ask or think! Thank you for sharing this praise, Marlene!
