Church websites that welcome first-time guests
Your website is often a guest’s first visit. We build church and ministry sites that answer the questions newcomers ask — service times, what to expect, where to park — and make it simple to watch online, find events, and give.
Starting at $3,200
Starting prices cover a standard build. Your written quote depends on scope — number of pages, content writing, integrations, e-commerce, giving systems, and automation.

What is a CMS?
A content management system (CMS) is the dashboard you use to update your website without touching code — edit text, swap photos, and add events, posts, or sermons, then publish. After the 30-day edit period, we set up the CMS of your choice and walk you through it. How we build and hand off your site.
What happens after launch?
Once you give final approval and the site is deployed, we make your requested edits for 30 days: up to two rounds of content changes, plus fixes for anything that isn’t working as approved. Then we hand the content over to you through your CMS. If you’d rather we keep handling updates, add a care plan. Major changes after handoff are quoted separately.
Can you add online giving?
Yes. We link or embed the giving provider you already use, or help you get one set up and connected to the site.
Can you embed livestreams?
Yes. We embed your YouTube, Facebook, or Vimeo livestream so people can watch right on your site.
Can you help with sermon and media pages?
Yes. We can build a sermon or media page that organizes your past messages by series or date, with the video or audio embedded. A sermon archive is a $500 add-on; embedding your livestream and individual sermon videos is included.
Can you build merch or event pages?
Yes to event pages — upcoming services, conferences, and ministry events with dates and details. For merch, we can link to or embed a store you already use. A full online store is scoped separately in your quote.
Can we update the site ourselves?
Yes. Events and announcements are set up so your staff or volunteers can keep them current, and after the 30-day edit period we set up your CMS and walk your team through it. If you’d rather not, a care plan covers updates for you.
How much does it cost?
Church and ministry websites start at $3,200. Your written quote depends on the number of pages, sermon and media archives, giving and livestream setup, content writing, and integrations, and you see the full price before any work starts.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Your domain, your content, and your accounts stay in your name. At final approval and deployment, we transfer your site’s code repository to you as well.
