Start with the current schedule and practical details your office can confirm. Give each detail an owner before publishing it. Use the following checklist as a page brief. Confirm every local fact with your church. The suggested sections are editorial recommendations, not claims about your congregation or building. ## Make the service schedule explicit List the services a new visitor can attend. Show the day, time, and relevant location for each. Distinguish a weekly schedule from a holiday or temporary arrangement. If several campuses or buildings exist, connect each service with its actual destination. Avoid putting one address beside several times when the arrangement is unclear. Keep online participation instructions separate from physical arrival details. Name the office contact who approves changes. Add a check for special services, closures, and schedule changes. Require agreement between the visitor page and the current calendar before marking the update complete. ## Explain arrival in concrete terms Walk the route with the person responsible for welcoming visitors. Record the entrance, parking arrangements, and where someone can ask for help. Confirm the wording before sending it to the website editor. Consider these sections for your page: | Proposed section | Local facts to confirm | | --- | --- | | Service times | Current day, time, and location | | Address and entrance | Correct destination and entrance instructions | | Parking | Approved parking areas and any restrictions | | Access questions | Confirmed information and the responsible contact | | Children and families | Current arrival or check-in process, if offered | | Questions before visiting | Monitored contact route and office availability | Describe an accessible route or facility only after someone verifies it. If you do not have an answer, publish a suitable contact path while the office checks the details. Avoid guessing from a photograph of the building. ## Use headings to organize the answers W3C recommends headings that describe sections and a logical heading hierarchy. Use that guidance to organize the schedule, arrival details, and contact instructions. [W3C heading guidance](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/page-structure/headings/), checked 2026.10.22. Write the essential arrival information as normal text. Keep it usable without interpreting a poster. W3C advises avoiding images of text where possible and providing equivalent text when they are used. [W3C image guidance](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/), checked 2026.10.22. A map or photograph can accompany the directions. Ask someone unfamiliar with the page to compare the written entrance instructions with the approved site information. Record any ambiguity for the office to resolve. ## Keep a visit question separate from enrollment Decide what the contact route does. A question about visiting should reach the person who can answer it. Do not present an inquiry as registration for a program or a commitment to attend. Ask only for the information needed to reply. Keep personal family, pastoral, and program details out of public page examples. State a reply window only when the receiving person confirms it. On a phone, follow the visitor-page contact link. For an agreed test, submit your own details and a clearly labeled question. Confirm that it reaches the intended office contact. ## Accept the page with a repeatable check Read the service time, find the destination, identify the entrance, and follow the contact route. Save the page address, date, and any unresolved detail. Require the office to approve corrections before publication. Repeat these checks when the schedule or building arrangement changes. Keep the schedule owner and website editor identified in the maintenance instructions. Review [church and nonprofit websites](/for/churches-and-nonprofits).
