COMPUTER SERAPH

Computer Seraph provides computer consulting services to churches. Churches have particular information handling needs, including mailing lists, stewardship mailings and responses, and financial management. Then there's the publishing which churches undertake regularly: weekly bulletins, newsletters, and special event publicity, not to mention the growing field of publishing on the Internet. These needs require attention that they don't always get.

All too often, a church spends a great deal of effort and money on a brand-new system, which then lands on a secretary's or pastor's desk, and sits. The most common omissions in the purchase of a new computer are:

Software: Without a word processor, there won't be a bulletin!

Training: Computers are easier to use than they used to be, but nothing pays for itself like training!

Actual Needs: Without a good review of needs, you can easily end up paying for a lot of things you don't need, while lacking tools you do need!

Computer Seraph can help churches choose a new or upgraded computer, transfer old information to a new system, create new databases for church use, and train staff. Because this service is directed toward local churches, the rates are low and negotiable.

In 1997, Computer Seraph began offering full-featured Web site hosting at an excellent value.

The archetypal New England church is set on a hilltop--and so it should be in cyberspace. As more and more people use the World Wide Web to find information with which they make decisions about their lives, the more important it will be that they find the unique resources of the religious community. Like the road sign and the newspaper ad, the Web page invites readers into a closer relationship with a living community. Computer Seraph can make that easy, powerful, and affordable.

Good Web sites begin with solid content which is delivered with clear and consistent design. Computer Seraph can provide advice about content, and deliver a layout which communicates it well. Some churches may require only a set of templates into which they place their own information. Others may desire continuing oversight and maintenance services. Whatever the need, Computer Seraph can meet it.

Scanning and image editing are also available.
