Why donate to PTM?

We support those who do God's work. We offer websites and technical consulting at prices that let churches and ministries save hundreds or thousands of dollars. These savings can then go into their ministry, rather than into the pocket of a for profit technical company. Technical Services aren't cheap but they are necessary. That's why PTM was founded - to give churches and Ministries an economical alternative.
 
Won't you help us continue to provide thse services? Right now, we are just making enough to pay our expenses. Our staff is currently all part-time volunteers but if we could afford a full-time staff, we could help many more churches and non-profits than we can now. You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring donation. Even $5 or $10/month would help!
 
 We know times are tough. But they're even tougher for non-profits and churches. By donating to us, you can help us help dozens, maybe even hundreds, of ministries!

Many people use only the web browser that came with their computer. If you are a Windows user that browser is Internet Explorer. If you are a Mac user, that browser is Safari. (If you are a Linux user - you know all about alternate browsers and don't need this article!) But there are other browsers out there that many people prefer to the pre-installed browser for many reasons.

Terms to Learn

Open Source

Open Source generally refers to software that is licensed under one (or several) open source licenses such as the GNU or BSD licenses. These licenses have a few differences, but generally allow you to use the software without paying for it AND to modify it. You may NOT claim the software as your own work and you are expected to contribute changes back to the community so that others may benefit from it as well. Most users don't have to worry about that because they don't change the software - they just use it. The "community" is the developer community that wrote the software and which continues to update it and make improvements to it.
