Does This Sound Familiar?
Your church website is old, cluttered, and has had too many hands in it. It’s time for a change, but you have a few different options and you’re not sure of the best solution:
- Have someone on your staff (or a volunteer) create a website using an online website builder. Who has this much time to learn something new and do it right? When that person leaves or doesn’t want to help out anymore, then what?
- Find someone in your congregation with website “skills.” If you have a professional website designer in your church body who will donate their time and keep your site maintained for you, awesome! This is a true gift, because there is a lot of work involved in setting up and maintaining a website CORRECTLY.
- Hire a company to do it for you. Where do I start looking? How much is this going to cost us? We have no budget for a website! Why do we need a website anyway?
You are most likely here because of option 3. 🙂 In most cases, you know the right answer is to hire it out and have it done right. But that costs a lot, doesn’t it? Yes, it is an investment – but one that will definitely pay for itself in the long-run. Read more in our article “The Value of a Professional Website for Small Churches.”
Enter the Worry-Free Website for Churches! We do not just set up your website and leave the rest up to you. We design it, support it, and update your content for you! That is where we are different. For a reasonable monthly support fee (less than a part-time staff member and no benefits to pay!), your website can become a tool that works FOR you! Here’s an example of what happens when you send us one support request…
Church: Sends an email with the sermon series description to our support team. Also has a new Event they want posted, and changes made to the Ministry Team page.
Us: Great! Thanks so much for sending us your information. Within 1-2 business days day all changes have been made to your website – quickly, correctly, and optimized for local search. As your website partner, we are proactive in making helpful suggestions for your website content. 🙂
How Are We Different? We Know Churches!
We know that most churches need a website to not only communicate with the body, but also to introduce themselves to those who might be looking for a new church home. With a professional website that’s done right, you can clearly convey the feel of your church as well as your values, mission and more. People can make an informed decision and have a good idea of what to expect (this is huge!) before walking through your doors. Win-Win!
In addition to design and website experience, we have vast knowledge in church marketing and communications (15+ years in church communications, 25+ years in general marketing and communications). Because of that:
- We know what people are looking for when they go online to learn more about your church.
- We’re excellent at simplifying! With a gift for copywriting and organization, we can make sure what’s important to your visitors is standing out and easy to find.
- We can help you optimize your content and decide if your website will be used more for existing members, outreach – or both!
- We are here to help and we consider our relationship with you as a partnership.
- We understand it’s about growing the Kingdom, not just church communications.
