IconCMO Church Software Partners with LiveEdit to Offer Integrated Church Website Solutions

MOORHEAD, Minn., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud-based church software company, Icon Systems, is proud to announce a new integrated church website solution through its new partner, LiveEdit, maker of powerful websites and mobile church websites. Using LiveEdit's content management system (CMS) with custom apps and mobile marketing, churches can easily integrate the powerful IconCMO church database together with your church website.

Integrated Church Website Features Include:

• Online directory that links to the live data on the church's database
• Online calendar that pulls information directly from your IconCMO database
• E-commerce website to sell things like t-shirts for church events
• Place to store your sermons or other types of media online for sharing
• Way to easily send e-Newsletters out to all your members about upcoming events
• Mobile website that makes it simple for people to view your information from a smartphone

LiveEdit provides websites and mobile sites with a powerful yet simple user interface for editing and updating. The client can control all of their content with tools that are available through an easy drag-and-drop interface. The church can type or paste in text, create image galleries with sliders, re-size images automatically, insert video content, drop in YouTube videos, and create forms using the form builder.

"The easy-to-use LiveEdit website solution incorporates the church's data from IconCMO in various website layouts. It's an attractive solution for clients that want to bring the back-end data to their church website for a personal connection with the community and its members," comments Bill Gifford, president of Icon Systems Inc.

LiveEdit can easily convert an existing church website over to LiveEdit or create a customized design. Other features include the promo store, church QR code generator, church email marketing, blogging, unlimited web pages, and a mobile version of the church website. The mobile website can display a different view than the main website, which allows for a special church donation collection during a weekend service for a cause. This church website integration can also enhance a church's online presence, making the community more aware of the church's mission and allowing church members to know what's happening.

"An effective church is one that is involved and plugged in to its community," notes LiveEdit Co-Owner Eugene Schreder. "The most important tool you have to accomplish this is your church website. LiveEdit not only puts you in control of your website (and mobile site), but also places some amazing tools at your fingertips to inform, encourage, and engage both current and potential attendees."

By teaming up with IconCMO, you are now able to integrate many of IconCMO's services directly into your website and mobile site. This means people can stay on your site when checking out the church calendar or membership directory from their mobile device. It's all integrated and cohesive – adopting your site's same fonts and styles.
