About the First†Met Website

The First†Metropolitan United Church website is built on a WordPress platform, an open-source publishing and content management system. Using an automated system such as this means we can easily update and revise content. Two prominent features of our site (apart from the fresh design) are an events calendar and the use of subject tags such as “Weddings” or “Youth Ministry” for content elements. Subject tags enable us to to link related content regardless of where it may be on the site.
