SnapShot Web Helps First Baptist Church Manage Multiple
Users and Have a Site that Reflects their Culture

"If a website is frequently the front door that many people go through when coming to our church, SnapShot Web has helped us to build a great door!"

The Who
First Baptist Church of Lebanon, TN is a church that has a heart for relevant teaching, authentic friendships, passionate worship, and compassionate ministry. As they live out this calling, they have acknowleged that their website is one easy way that people can discover who they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re going as a church.
The Challenge
The folks at FBC Lebanaon wanted to have a website management tool that was easy to use, custimizable, and alowed for multiple user roles so that different people could have access to editing different sections of the site. On top of that they have a member of thier community that writes a daily devotional and they wanted to find a clean and easy way to display and archive these devotionals.
Why Use SnapShot Web?
Like all of our customers, FBC Lebanon has benefitted from our fast and friendly support staff. Here's what Jody, has to say (and we're not making this up):
"Since signing up, I've never wasted endless minutes sitting on hold hoping that the person who picks up the phone knows what they're doing. The people at SnapShot Web are knowledgeable, friendly, and very good at what they do. Anytime I came with a question, either by email or on the phone, the folks at SnapShot Web answered promptly and worked with me to get the site working perfectly."
The Result
With the help of the support and training teams at SnapShot Web, Jody has been able to give ministry leaders the opportunity to work on their ministry's individual pages and to keep their pages updated and useful. They also have implemented a News Articles module to have a slick Daily Devotional Section.

Their Content Fresh and Current

"I hear regularly that people found us from our website!"

The Who
Legacy Church is a Church Plant in the San Diego area. They have found that there is a large number of people in their area from all ages and backgrounds who are unconnected to a local church. Legacy Church is seeking to reach out to the community around them and thier SnapShot Website is one of the ways that they are doing this well.
The Challenge
Like any Church or organization, Legacy needs to be sure that the content on their website is consistently updated with the latest events, messages, announcements, and images. What a shame it would be to have a site that was outdated with old content, stale images or design that doesn't really reflect the cuture of their community.
Why Use SnapShot Web?
Betsy, the director of Creative Design and Communication for Legacy, was recently in England and needed to make some changes to the calendar on her site. Since she knew that show could manage her site from anywhere with an internet connection, she simply logged into her site and made the necessary changes.
She has also been blessed by what she calls "the quick and immediate response of the SnapShot Support Team." She has found that one of the best parts of the SnapShot Support is the video tutorial section. "There are a few things on the site that i don't do very often, so being able to quickly watch the tutorials are a great reminder of how it works."
The Result
Using the SnapShot Web tools and templates, www.legacysd.org has a vibrant and effective web presence that is reaching their community. They don't have to wait hours or days to update their site, they can do it themselves in minutes.
