Website design for churches
Church website design that welcomes a first-time visitor
The person most likely to visit a church website is someone who has never been through the doors. They are looking for service times, where to park, what to wear and what happens with the children. We build church websites that answer a visitor first and still give members the calendar, the sermons and a way to give.
What we put first
What your customers look for
-
Plan your visit
Service times, the address, where to park, which door to use and what a Sunday is like, on one page linked from the first screen.
-
Children and students
What is offered for each age, where to check in and who is in the room. For many families this page decides the visit.
-
Sermons and events that stay current
Recent messages with audio or video, and a calendar where past events drop off on their own.
-
Usable by every member
Large, clear text, strong contrast and pages that work with a keyboard and a screen reader, built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Many congregations include members who need exactly that.
Design concept
How it could look
A home page concept drawn for a made-up business, on a desktop and on a phone. We draw one like it from your own site, free, when you ask for a checkup.
- Service times and Plan Your Visit are the first things on the page
- People, not buildings, lead the photography
- Ministries for children, students and adults each have a clear door
- Giving is easy to find without dominating the page
What you get
A typical site for churches
- Home, with service times and Plan Your Visit
- What we believe
- Ministries: children, students, adults, missions
- Sermons, with audio or video
- Events calendar
- Give, linked to your giving service
Every site is built and tested to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard we hold government websites to, and comes with hosting, backups and changes by email or text.
Questions
What owners ask us
Can volunteers update it?
Yes. Adding an event or a sermon is a short form. More than one person can have a login, and we can make changes for you by email.
Can we keep our giving and streaming services?
Yes. We link to the services you already use rather than replacing them.
Is there a lower price for churches and nonprofits?
Ask us. Send your web address through the free checkup and tell us about your congregation; the quote comes back in writing before any work starts.
Send us your web address. We measure your site on a phone and email you a redesigned home page with the price. Free, no obligation.
