Testimonials

I still cannot believe that I have been able to design and maintain our website with no previous experience whatsoever in web design! eCatholicChurches.com provided all the tools I needed to get started and continues to give me excellent support whenever I have a question. If I can do it, you can do it. Really.

Your customer service is the best I've ever seen...from any company.

ECC was exactly what I was looking for! Sharing the job of creating and posting website content with my staff members was a huge factor in choosing ECC. The ease of creating a page, the totally awesome support team, and the customization possibilities are what I appreciate most. I would recommend this content management system to a newbie or the well-seasoned webmaster!

eCatholicChurches.com has made my internet ministry dynamic, fun, and most importantly, EASY. Whether it is the calendar, photo albums, or embedded video and flash, it is so simple. My website has become more than just a place to get information - my teens and parents actually spend time on the site!

ECC - Youth Ministry Edition has been such a blessing to our ministry. The internet can be used as a great tool to evangelize this technology-savvy generation. However, websites must be dynamic and high quality to catch their attention. ECC is excellent because it creates an interesting and teen-friendly website but is also "adult friendly" because it's so easy to use and takes very little time to update. I highly recommend ECC - Youth Ministry Edition to anyone wanting to reach out to all those teens who spend hours surfing the net, but lack the time or knowledge to create a high quality and useful website from scratch. My teens love it - I love it!

Working with thousands of College students who are constantly on the internet, we knew our website was inadequate. We have thousands of events every year and dozens every day. It was impossible for one webmaster to keep our community informed of all the events, and our website became useless for us trying to reach out to the campus of Texas A&M University. With eCatholicChurches.com, we have found a responsive and professional business that gives us everything we ever wanted and more. Our students and parishioners love the easy-to-use Administrative Interface and quickly started to mold each page into their own individual home on the internet. Our website is now a tool of evangelization and we average almost 1000 individual visits per day. With the quality website we now have (and at such a great price), it truly has helped us to expand our ministry.

In today's world, it is critical to capture your target audience with an online presence that provides important and useful information. Catholic schools are not exempt from this rule, but more often than not, fall well behind the curve when it comes to online presence. The ECC - School Edition has provided our school with an easy to use tool and interface which has placed the design and updates of our website, our number one communication tool, into the hands of those who create the information. Our faculty and staff have been burdened in the past with copying papers for folders, emailing around information to be posted online, and printing out photos. Now they can easily place all of this medium on our website themselves! The greatest part of the tool is how easy it is to use...if you can use a word processor (like Microsoft WORD), then you can update your own professional and unique eCatholicChurches.com website. We are thrilled to have a solution for our online needs and feel blessed to have heard of ECC.

We had just about given up on having a website. We could have had a well-intentioned amateur "throw something together," but we didn't want that. We're serious about our ministry, and if we were going to present it online, we wanted to do it right. But every professional design group we talked to came back with a price of $5000-$7000, plus the monthly hosting fee and additional charges anytime we wanted changes made. It was just too much. Then we heard about eCatholicChurches.com. We now have a website that far exceeds our expectations and we can easily make changes by ourselves every day. Instead of $5000 plus monthly fees and extra charges, we pay $30 a month. And we have the added pleasure of working with a Catholic ministry that's helping other Catholic ministries. It doesn't get any better than that!

With 2700 families, 125 organizations, 18 staff members, and countless volunteers preparing hundreds of people for sacraments each year, our parish is a very busy place (probably just like yours)! More and more people of all ages and stages have come to depend upon electronic forms of communication that are current, relevant to individual organizations, and updated in a timely way. Our staff members had become desperate for ways to get the GOOD NEWS and available opportunities out to our parishioners and community. Well-intentioned, skillful persons worked on our parish's website, but the diversity and speed at which events formed and changed was more than one person could attend to with great detail or in a timely manner. Enter eCatholicChurches.com! Our staff members were given access to their department's pages and they took off! The parish's web presence now more accurately reflects the activity of the Spirit that is present with the devotion of the good people of our parish. Photo galleries, registration forms, the bulletin, even a recording of a weekly homily for the shut-ins, are all easily uploaded through this wonderful, easy-to-learn format. The best part is the number of new parishioners who have joined our parish after looking for a Catholic Church before they moved to our city. eCatholicChurches.com has empowered our parish to better spread the GOOD NEWS and help people on their journey with Christ!

One of my first goals (and biggest frustrations) when I started out in youth ministry was developing a good website. Unfortunately, I am not a computer genius - my teens laugh at me all the time! I think I must have slept through Computers 101. Our new eCatholicChurches.com website has simplified and streamlined many of the time-consuming tasks that a youth minister faces, such as distributing and collecting paperwork from kids, sign-ups for events, registration, and promotion. Our latest feature on our ECC website is an online store where we can now sell tickets to events and where my teens can pay their registration and trip fees with Mom's debit card. No more hounding them for checks, sweet! One of my favorite features is the mp3 player. Now my kids can listen to rockin' Catholic music while they browse our site, and anywhere else on the internet! Our new eCatholicChurches.com website is so easy to use that I feel like I actually know something about computers (which couldn't be further from the truth). It is a very complete, well thoughtout program that is custom built for Catholics. Once I started using my eCatholicChurches.com website, I quickly realized that eCatholicChurches.com is clearly a ministry, one that is very much needed in our Church right now. I pray that our Lord will continue to bless eCatholicChurches.com and their efforts to empower Catholic churches and ministries with professional, affordable, easy-to-maintain websites!

One of the gravest errors of our time is the separation between the Faith we profess and the lives we live. eCatholicChurches.com has helped our apostolate build a bridge bringing together the Catholic Faith and the lives of youth. ECC software is easy and quick to use while still maintaining creativity and a professional look. I especially like it because it gives me the opportunity to update information without calling someone first. In this time of New Evangelization, ECC is an answered prayer and I believe a part of the legacy Pope John Paul the Great left the Church.
