Websites for churches without a tech person

If you can send an email, you can run your church's website.

We build it and keep it. You email changes in plain words; they are live in about a minute. Reply UNDO and all is forgiven.

It finds the right line and edits only that. The design cannot break.

Done. Sunday worship now shows 10:30 AM. Nothing else was touched. If that is not what you wanted, just reply UNDO.

You never wonder whether it worked.

Back exactly the way it was. Nobody ever knew.

No logins. No dashboards. No nephew.

Step 1 of 5

02 · You know how this goes

The story of ten thousand church websites.

The login is lost. The times are wrong. The nephew moved.

It is not your fault. Somebody built the church a website years ago, then life happened. Websites were built for people with time to fuss over them. You have a congregation to care for.

Your website should work like a good deacon: quietly, reliably, without being asked twice.

03 · From hello to live

Live in days.

1

Pick your style

Twenty living example sites below. Rest your cursor on one and watch it scroll by; open it on your phone, because that is where your visitors will be.

2

Send your content

Your site builds itself the moment your content lands. If anything is missing, you get a short, plain list of exactly what to send.

3

Preview, then live

You get a private preview link. Something looks off? Email it and it gets fixed. Happy? One click and your site is live.

4

Then it is just email

New sermon, moved service, five photos from homecoming: email them in. Reply UNDO to any change. Your own .org? Order it right from your account.

05 · Small moments, handled

A week in the life.

Tuesday, 9:40 pm

A young mother looks up churches near her. She finds this Sunday's times, photos of real people, and directions that work. On Sunday, she shows up.

Wednesday, after supper

The youth lock-in gets moved a week. You email the site from the church parking lot. It is fixed before you buckle your seatbelt.

Homecoming Sunday

Photos go up while the fellowship hall tables are still being folded. Attach them to an email and they arrive with captions, sized to load fast.

The oops moment

You typed the wrong date and hit send. Reply UNDO. The site is back the way it was, and nobody ever knew.

Beyond the machine

Some requests need a person, so a person answers. Design changes, special projects, or just a question: real humans, usually the same day.

06 · What it costs

Less than the flowers by the pulpit.

07 · Before you ask

Asked and answered.

Do I need to learn anything?

If you can send an email, you already know how to run your website. There is nothing to install, no dashboard to master, no password to keep in a drawer. Write what changed, in your own words, and it happens.

What if I make a mistake?

Reply UNDO to any confirmation and the site goes back exactly the way it was. Every change is reversible, and unusual requests get looked at by a person before anything embarrassing can happen.

Who owns our website and our domain?

Your church does. The domain is registered in your church's name, and you can take a full copy of your site with you at any time, free, no questions. No contracts hold you here. We would rather keep you by being good at this.

Is a robot writing our website?

There is careful technology under the hood, and real people watching over it. The important part is what we never do: the system never invents facts about your church. Your beliefs stay in your own words, and anything it is unsure about, it asks you first.

What can we change by email?

Anything the site says or shows: service times, sermons, events, announcements, home groups, people, photos, YouTube videos, and podcast episodes. The design itself stays professionally locked, which is why the site cannot be accidentally broken. Bigger design wishes go to our team, and we quote anything before it costs a cent.

What about photos and videos?

Attach photos to your email and they arrive on the site sized to load quickly, in a gallery that opens full screen. Paste a YouTube link and it becomes a player right on your site. Phone photos are exactly what it expects.

How fast do changes go live?

Usually under a minute, with a confirmation reply so you never wonder whether it worked.

We already have a domain, or an old site. Now what?

We connect the domain you have for free, or register a new one for $16 a year, ordered right from your account and renewed for you so it never lapses. If your old site has anything worth keeping, we bring it over as part of getting you started.

See you Sunday.

we will save you a seat

Sign in, pick the style that feels like your church, and send your content. The site builds itself, you approve a preview, and you are live. From then on it is just email.
