Efficient and Effective
By building websites in a week – we make sure that your website reaches your community as soon as possible.
Even though this part is our process moves at a fast pace, we’ll spend lots of time together prepping for this week. That way we have the information we need to capture the unique essence of your church and what is has to offer when the site is built.
Here’s what to expect once we get to the build
Each day during build week we’ll:
- Have a 45 minute phone or zoom check-in with you
- Send you an email by 2pm requesting feedback by 5pm
Note: Build weeks are scheduled based on a mutually agreeable date typically one to two months after the project is started. Those months allow time for the work of the strategy phase to be completed.

What makes our sites different
Being found online is not automatic. Just because you have a website doesn’t mean people will find it.
Can’t we just do it ourselves?
We understand that churches are careful with their budgets. However, remember that your website is a vital investment in your ministry. By hiring a professional, you’re equipping your church with a powerful tool that can help you reach and connect with new people.
Here are some key points to consider:
- Cost vs. Impact: The average giving per person is $884 annually, which breaks down to about $17 per week. Just seven new visitors could cover the cost of your website!
- One-Time Investment with Long-Term Benefits: A professional website is a one-time investment pays back dividends over time. Collect a special offering to fund its development—if you have 100 members, that’s only $60 per person.
- Utilize Endowment Funds: Since a website is a capital expense, it’s a great candidate for endowment fund allocation.
- The Value of Professional Expertise: While DIY options may seem cost-effective, they often lack the expertise necessary to create an effective outreach tool. A poorly designed site can hinder your mission rather than help it.
- Real Results: A website that’s difficult to find or doesn’t engage visitors is ineffective. We specialize in building websites that not only attract attention but also foster meaningful connections within your community.
Investing in a professional website is investing in the future of your ministry. Let us help you create a powerful online presence that truly reflects your mission.
