Easy connection between our calendars and the website is also solving a lot of time otherwise wasted on duplication of data with the inherent need to check for coping errors. #### Cons Using the basics are straightforward but there is a need for steady regular use and the fantastic support from the team behind ChurchDesk to make the best use of its functions --- ### Church Website System - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Carl L. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: September 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We have recently moved from an old (rarely updated) FrontPage website to ChurchDesk. The changeover was rather seamless apart from during the launch in church, our router crashed with the number of people trying to use the WiFi! The CMS is easy to use and reasonably speedy. Apart from a couple of niggles about not being able to import events from a spreadsheet and multiple clicking to change options which we are told ChurchDesk are working on; the system is stable and works well for us. We chose this to replace not just our website, but also our MailChimp email newsletter and event management. So far it seems to be doing the trick. It's still early days but so far I am impressed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 #### Vendor response Thanks, Carl. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to be working with you!

Because I was the only good Microsoft user, I was responsible for our IT and took care of our website, which was very complicated. With ChurchDesk, I quickly became familiar and comfortable with the technology. This is to a large extent due to the sweet support team: Birita, Maria and Marika and their expertise and kindness. I want to thank them for their patience with me as an elderly customer." #### Cons The people who have designed the program some times use words - expressions which sometimes can be a little difficilt to understand --- ### St James Clapham - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kit G. - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: February 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered A good presentation, the people who did the presentation clearly knew their product. They asked good questions to understand our needs and focused on possible solutions.

No incentive was offered For me, getting going with Churchdesk was a steep learning curve. I am so very impressed by the quality of the technical help I have received, which has enabled me to design a website with all the aspects I need in a short space of time. I am also most impressed by the friendliness of the Churchdesk staff, from Philip Waters, who introduced me to the concept, to all the other people I have emailed and/or spoken to. My vicar and I, and our colleagues and the congregation of our church, are all in agreement that moving to Churchdesk was a great thing to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 --- Showing 1 - 10 of 15 Reviews Load More Reviews ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
