Welcome to the PACT web site Questionnaire
The Results
The answers to the questionnaires have been recorded and analysed and are displayed below. Because it will take some time to create the necessary tables and charts the results - and because there is a lot to digest in one go - these will be added a few at a time.
If you would like to remind yourself of the questions these can be found on the PACT Questionnaire 2010 page and you may download a PDF version.

| 1. How often do you access the PACT web site? | Webmaster Comments |
||
| % | |||
| Only when I receive a PACT email | 50.0 | It is pleasing to see that half of all respondents accessed the web site as a result of receiving emails and that nearly 15% visit the site at least once a week. | |
| Less than once a month | 3.6 | ||
| Less than one a week | 32.1 | ||

| 2. Do you access the PACT web site from: | Webmaster Comments |
||
| % | |||
| Always at Home | 88.9 | I hope that employers don't mind staff using the Internet for their own purposes! But this might be an opportunity to tell colleagues about PACT! I added the questions about using the Internet in the Library because many people don't realise that libraries do provide free Internet access. To be honest I'm not sure if there is an Internet Cafe in Petersfield, though I do know that many places provide WiFi access. |

Webmaster Comments |
||
| % | |||
| Look at my own church web site | 3.1 | It is gratifying to see that two-thirds of the respondents would turn to the PACT web site for information. We wonder how the friend knows what is happening! Is there a need for local radio and television to be better informed of church activities so that in turn they can inform their viewers and listeners. |
|

| 10. How useful have you found your visit to the PACT web site - please tick as many boxes as apply: | Webmaster Comments |
||
| % | |||
| I found what I was looking for | 29.5 | It is a concern that nearly a third of respondents didn't find what they were look for - but see question 8. It is pleasing to see how many people found out about things and events that they didn't know before they visited the site and also how many people enjoyed reading about events that have taken place. During 2011 we hope to have more photographic records of events and hope that more people will enjoy looking at them! |

||
| % | |||
| None | 29.5 | It is good to see that more that 70% of respondents belonged to one or more groups. There are in fact 38 groups - so the option 31 to 40 groups should be modified! |

| 6 to 10 groups | 18.0 | ||
| 11 to 15 groups | 16.4 | ||
| 16 to 30 groups | 16.4 | ||

|

19. Please suggest ways in which we can get more people to visit the PACT web site and join email groups
- I think that awareness of the Pact website is considerably enhanced when an e mail is received. It's like a reminder that the we site is there and that maybe I haven't looked at it for a while.
- Items in individual church newsletters / magazines. I should do one for mine! Another 'little' job!
- Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity Publicity
- Ensure all PACT churches print the website on their church notices and in their monthly magazines.
- Continue to notify changes by e-mail
- Persuade people that by using the web site etc. they can disseminate information about their own groups so easily and efficiently, and learn about others at the same time.
- Present it on an overhead in PACT churches, so people can see how interesting it is. The photos are a great part of it and bring it to life. Could one of the 3 people in the photo on the top of the pages be a young person?
- I don't think we should worry too much. If people don't want to join we can't force them!
- Asking each group to enrol their own members.
- I have suggested an email contact in America to visit the PACT web site - so inviting overseas friends and contacts is one way,
- Keep speaking the message! Ask others to forward PACT website address to church friends in the community
- I think that's the same question as: 'how can we get more people to realise they ARE PACT, and to be excited and involved in all aspects of it?'
- Chat it to people!
- Keep talking about it. advertise in the Petersfield Post
20. Please type any comments or observation about the PACT web site in the space below. If you have any suggestions of how we could improve the site, please type them here.
- Haven't accessed it enough so far to comment but will try to do so more in 2011
- I would like to say that John has done a very good job and produced an informative, interesting and easily accessible site. This from who is by no means an expert with computers. It works well via an AppleMac, too.
- I need notice of this. I will send an email as ideas come. Thanks Keep up the god work
- The PACT site seems to be very impressive and is updated at amazing speed. Bless you all that are involved.
- Alter the font size so that links etc are in a smaller case. Webmaster Comment - you can do this yourself by altering setting in your web browswer - ask a local expert for help or email me.
- I have only just joined so need to have a couple of months monitoring before I can really make suggestions, but perhaps one is that in the few days I have subscribed, I have received too many emails.
- More of the same will be great!
- Free chocolate for the 50th, 100th, etc person to log on....? Webmaster Comment - I log on almost every day - do I qualify?
