church website software

Post by Charles256 »

So here's the question....I'm planning on building a solution that allows churches to install my package and then have it do a first time walk through where they select the uses they originally want to set up (event calendar, classes, how many, things like that) and then select from a few different layout or allow them to install their own header. Anyone else think this is a good idea? Any additional suggestions? How much should one charge for such a finished project? Just somethign I'm considering doing...

Here's another good question. When doing such a project as this do you start with what the user sees first (i.e.- the installation pages and the set up information) or start with the end product and work backwards? Opinions?

I just developed a news module for our company, and my basic though throughout the whole thing was to keep as much in one config file as possible. This allowed me to later (after testing the product) to just go through the config file and make it dynamically generated by the installer.

Not sure if it's the best way, but it worked for me. (although I found out I hate automated things.. I'd rather fix 5 crappy bugs than do one auomated installer thing..).
