Testimonial: Paul Zimmerman

Paul Zimmerman

Today we offer a Testimonial review from one of our customers, Paul Zimmerman at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon, North Carolina.

"Our former site was a WordPress site and while I’m proficient in WordPress (I built my own business site) when it came time to build our new church website I felt there must be something better. WordPress is strong and with plugins you can do a lot but it means cobbling things together.

Thank goodness for Mark and the Online Church Solutions Team! Because of them we were able to create a robust website for our church that already comes with all the tools we need such as online giving, visitor tracking, calendar, membership directory and more. It makes for a more seamless website and saves us money by bringing many different tasks under one roof.

If you don’t have a great deal of experience with websites don’t worry. The website builder tool is wonderful to work with. There are lots of great how to videos to get you up to speed. Plus Mark is always willing to help via email, the help section and the private Online Church Solutions discussion page. Response time is amazing!

We wanted a host that would allow us to integrate our website with our church work flow, visually told the story of who we are and how we worship and would allow someone who’s never been to our church to imagine themselves among us. With Online Church Solutions we found all that and more. I cannot recommend Mark and the team highly enough."
