What are Widgets?
Widgets are stand-alone applications that can be embedded into a website. They occupy a portion of a webpage and seamlessly display information that is dynamically fetched from other websites.
What does Responsive mean?
A responsive widget has a fluid and flexible layout that adjusts according to screen size and orientation. It offers an optimized browsing experience regardless of whether you view the content on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Why are they useful?
They
- allow you to build customized pages with multi-sourced content
- make the website more dynamic with regularly changing content (ie Monitor News and Daily Lift items)
- integrate easily into any webpage
- enable you to apply existing themes to all elements of a widget's content
- ensure content is current, accurate and independently maintained 24/7
Are they free?
No. There is a small annual fee required to cover their development and ongoing maintenance
- The annual cost to licence a single widget on a single church website is £15.00 (GBP 15)
- Widgets require minimal technical knowledge to implement, and are fully supported with specific help and code examples
