Here are some creative ways to use WebFeed services:
Listing of calendar events and news updates. Take a look at
these examples:
- A Lutheran Church
in Southern Ontario who update their weekly event schedule and on
every page display a graphic
that represents the church season.
- The Lutheran Campus Ministry
- Waterloo who update their front page with news and details of
events. The main sub-pages also are updated to display relevent
events for that page.
- A Lutheran church
in Toronto who also update their front page every week.
Displaying interesting facts or information like 'quotes of
the day' etc. to keep your website visitor's coming back. Take a look
at this example of a Prayer for Today.
Change your front page based on your organisation's
seasonal
calendar. Take a look at this example of a
seasonal graphic to match a church's liturgical year.
Changing your front page navigation menu to promote special
events. Changes could include event phases like Early Registration, Count
Down to Event, Displaying daily the event schedule.
Using WebFeed
All of these events listed can have start and
finish
dates, so you can plan to add specific content to your front page on a
certain date, and then remove it a specified later date.
