A few months ago I alerted religious communities that 24% of your websites are nearly invisible to young people.
That’s right – they were difficult or hard to read on mobile devices. Using smartphones and tablets is how 91% of website searches are begun by young people age 21-34.
Let me explain. We looked at the websites belonging to the IRL or the CMSWR and tested them with various methods, including Google’s mobile-friendly test.
If your website is too difficult to read (as seen in Google’s mobile-friendly test) by young people interested in religious life, they will simply give up and go to another website.
Thus, when they try to read about your charism, your formation program, retreat schedule, or send you a message, they won’t be able to do it.
To test whether your website is mobile-friendly, use Google’s mobile friendly test.
Special website offer
To fix this, we at Vocation Promotion are willing to give your community a $200 discount on a website rebuild. We can thus help you to rebuild your website to make it attractive and mobile-friendly (also called mobile-responsive).
We can build an inexpensive website of a few pages for a reasonable fee, and apply the $200 discount. We use a simple platform that can be easily updated by you with a password.
You get a larger discount for a larger website. For these we use the WordPress platform, which can also be updated by you.
Some of the website features we offer:
- Mobile-friendly
- Beautiful banner and images
- Contact forms
- Calendar of events
- Videos embedded
- Google analytics
- Search engine optimized
- Donation button
We welcome religious communities outside the US!
We would also be happy to work with communities outside the United States as well, such as those from the Philippines, India, South Africa, Nigeria, and other countries. The discount applies to you, also.
More and more young people around the world are using smart phones and mobile devices. We at Vocation Promotion are getting a steady stream of interest from around the world, judging from the Catholic communities who sign up for our newsletter.
It makes sense to test your website on the Google mobile-friendly test, or simply reply to this email and I will test it for you.
A few years ago, Pope Francis said, “By means of the internet, the Christian message can reach ‘to the ends of the earth’ (Acts 1:8).”
This special discount of $200 also applies to schools, orphanages, parishes, dioceses and nonprofits as well. Remember, this deal is only good for a limited time, so act now!
