WilsonPro uses Joomla, which is a Content Management System (CMS) technology.

It is a factor of the number of pages and the amount of time it takes to prepare them. The more complex the page layout and underlying technology the more time it takes. For this reason you will need to discuss your needs with WilsonPro before we can determine if you need a Small Website.
The cost of producing the right website can be measured, the cost of producing the wrong website cannot.
If you publish a paper Newsletter then you might like to publish it on your website for all your contacts to see. Although you could still produce and distribute paper copies as usual, you would not need to print out so many of them, as some of your people would have Internet access and could print their own copies direct from your website. This way people who live at a distance from you, or who are on holiday, can keep up to date with your regular news or events information, perhaps even before the paper copies are distributed!
You can also archive previous newsletters on your website's news page so that people who have been out of contact for a few weeks can catch up on the previous news announcements—here's a real life example on the GBC website.
You may like to notify your audience using our bulk email service each time the website copies are published.

This website would be classed as Medium Size.

You might already have a website but it's information is out of date. Maybe the person who originally created it no longer has the time to update it. Perhaps they have now left your organisation. We will update the information on your website as long as you provide us with the following security details: the web server address, user name and password that are required to upload data to your out-of-date website—it's as simple as that. If you cannot supply these security details please ask us about website hosting instead. We can copy your out of date website onto our web hosting servers and update it there, but to avoid confusing your audience with two websites, you would need to instruct your previous web hosting service to close down your redundant website.

You might have the finest website in the world but if nobody knows it's out there you will have zero visitors. WilsonPro will register your new website with popular search engines and code your pages with hidden META TAGS that will enable your website to be listed in even more search engines. We can also advise you of other ways to promote your new website—tried and tested marketing principles.

Businesses use web sites to communicate with a variety of audiences, such as staff, suppliers, customers and business partners. Each site will provide at least one or a number of the four functions that follow.
Information – For an increasing number of people the Internet is the first place they refer to find information about a business, or a product or service. A web site that presents basic company information is increasingly considered as essential as a company letterhead.

There are plenty of services on the Web that offer you a free Web page but you'll have to design it yourself. Free Web hosting services are often bundled together with the basic monthly fee that you pay to your Internet Service Provider.
You can also get a free homepage through services like Geocities and Excite. Unfortunately, most free hosting services require you to have advertising banners or pop-up advert boxes on your pages.
Either way, free hosting services usually do not allow you to have your own domain name, you have to share their name with your name joined onto it—which is at best unprofessional.
Free services like these are worth exactly what you pay for them! You'll also get little or no help when there are problems with your hosted site and no guarantees about the quality of hosting service.
Many organisations with little no allocated budget rely on small web hosting organisations like WilsonPro Ltd. Andy Wilson says, "Because WilsonPro is not my primary source of income and because my overheads are almost non-existant, my fees are considerably lower than many other Web Hosting Services. My service, however is second to non amongst my peers".
It will be great to show the world your new website, but nothing in this world stands still for long. The information on your new website will soon get out of date, people come—people go and organisations change their structure. If you start holding new meetings or change the times of existing ones, or close down old meetings you will want to update the information on your website.
The New Website Content Updating Service takes care of all that for you. You just email us the changed information and we will update your website and notify you when it is done.
Alternately, if you have a Content Management System (CMS) like the one you are looking at now, which is a Joomla! website, you can add content and update the website yourself.
The One Page Website gives you a basic web presence. It may be used as a "holding page" with your organisation name and a few basic details—you have started your journey into the world of websites. You may decide to further develop your website when time, funds or other situations permit.
The cost of producing the right website can be measured, the cost of producing the wrong website cannot.
What would it be like if your organisation's diary was availble on the Internet? Your staff, supporters and clients could view appointment and meetings dates and times, events and even room bookings. The diary could be:
- viewable to all
- password protected, so snooping eyes can't see itl
- password protected, so only a few authorised people could write to it but everybody could read it
- password protected, so only a few authorised people could write to it and other authorised people could read it
Please speak with us if you feel you may be able to benefit from a Web Based Diary
The larger your organisation is—the more information about it you will want to get across to your audience. A large site would contain more sub-sections (like chapters in a book) covering many of the different aspects or departments of your organisation.
Defining the size of a website, for the purposes of quoting a price for developing it is very difficult. It is a factor of the number of pages and the amount of time it takes to prepare them. The more complex the page layout and underlying technology—the more time it takes. For this reason you will need to discuss your needs with WilsonPro before we can determine if you need a Large Size Website.
The cost of producing the right website can be measured, the cost of producing the wrong website cannot.
In order to give your website it's own distinctive name, which is in effect your website's brand name, you will need to choose/search for and register a suitable (and available) domain name. Your domain name will belong to your organisation for the period it is registered to you.

They seemed to be sincere, godly people, and they were overflowing with excitement as they spoke about their vision for ministering to their new, adopted community. They invited me inside a half-built sanctuary to take a look, and as we walked around, they unveiled their vision for the church. There was the pulpit where the Word of God would be preached with great power to a thirsty congregation. There was the old organ, and right next to it a great new sound system for the high school praise band that would lead the worship music.

This has grown since the early days and now includes photos, animation and music. The original website has been upgraded to a Content Management System website and is spread over hundresd of pages and with all the multi-media files weighs in at over half a gigabyte.
