11. Web Update Thank you for participating in our survey
Working on incorporating feedback
Goal:
We are creating a united, cohesive presence for the Unity movement.
We are creating a clear, professional and easily maintained web presence for ministries to attract those seeking Unity.
Our Goal for branding our ministries Web presence:
We are striving to create a support tool for your ministry that will make your web presence easy to maintain and provide excellence for your organization. To begin our services, our plan is to create a resource that is housed with a service provider. This is a test and we are currently developing this resource, we are very much in the development of this portion of branding and thank you for your patience as we move forward in incorporating your feedback. The next step is to solidify the ideas we’ve heard about our web service and incorporate that into what we’ll take to vendors. It is going to be some time before we visit this topic again while we do our preparatory work.
