​

St. Francis - St. Ambrose has an immediate need for a volunteer Associate Webmaster to help maintain the joint-parishes website and business Facebook page.  The Associate Webmaster will assist the two existing people but will eventually assume responsibility as the lead Webmaster.  Responsibilities include:

• Becoming familiar with the web editor used to maintain the https://www.stfrancis-stambrose.org website.  There is no HTML coding involved (below).
• Coordinating with the Pastor and church leaders to keep individual group pages current.
• Periodically composing brief "News" articles (such as this one) and posting them to the parish Facebook page.
• Making and implementing future decisions regarding the website's size, structure and content.
• Maintaining familiarity with Diocese, and other, news sources and forwarding important information to parishioners.
• Occasionally posting brief announcements on the joint-parish Facebook Page.
• Monitoring and coordinating the host and web editor fees with the parish office.  The webmaster will pay the fee, via credit card, and will be reimbursed by the Parish Office.

Web Editing.
We use the Weebly website editor.[1] Weebly is a very easy-to-use website tool that requires absolutely no HTML coding knowledge [2]. The screen presentation is true 'What You See is What You Get' (WYSIWYG).  Most layout and editing work are done with a set of drag-and-drop tiles displayed at the left side of the screen.  Less used page setup and support commands are accessible from a top-bar menu.

The Drag-and-Drop tiles are used to place text blocks, images, documents (such as the bulletin), videos, section dividers (like the one above), etc.

Notes and Reference Information.
1. Weebly was recently acquired by Square, an E-commerce specialty company.

​2.  As noted above, routine maintenance of the site does not require any knowledge of HTML coding.  However, if the applicant is familiar with coding, Weebly does allow accesses to coding for fine detail work.  However, the current web maintenance staff have never used this feature.
