Churches
Websites and software for churches
A church website has one visitor who matters more than any other: somebody who has never been, is thinking about coming on Sunday, and is quietly working out whether they would feel out of place. Almost everything else the site does is secondary to answering that person.
What your customers check first
When do you meet, and is that still true
Service times are the most requested piece of information on any church website and the most commonly out of date. A first-time visitor who shows up to an empty building does not come back and does not tell you why.
What actually happens when I walk in
How long is the service, what do people wear, where do the kids go, where do I park. This is the anxious list running through a first-time visitor's head, and answering it plainly removes most of the reasons not to come.
Can I hear something before I come
Recent sermons available to listen to lets someone sample the teaching from their kitchen. It is the lowest-commitment step available and it is the one people take first.
Can I give without a fight
Online giving that works on a phone in about thirty seconds. If it takes an account, a redirect and a password reset, most people abandon it and never try again.
What we build for you
- Service times treated as primary content on every page
- A genuine "what to expect on your first visit" section
- Sermon audio, organised so old messages stay findable
- An events calendar the office can update without calling us
- Online giving that works properly on a phone
- Ministry and small group pages
- Multi-language sites where the congregation needs them
- Custom tools for scheduling, planning and volunteers
We build for churches because we sit in them
PraisePro is our own product: a service scheduling platform with drag-and-drop run sheets, team scheduling with reminders, a live operator view with timers, and a PIN-protected portal for musicians to submit songs. We also built an online hymnal holding all 3,300 songs of Песнь Возрождения with lyrics, chords, full text search, a presentation mode and a print view. Both came out of watching the same Sunday morning problems repeat for years.
Church Websites: Events, Sermons, and Giving
What a church site actually needs to do.
Building PraisePro
Run sheets, scheduling and a live operator view.
Putting a 3,300 Song Hymnal Online
Why the data modelling mattered more than the design.
Building a Fully Bilingual Website
Doing two languages properly, for congregations that need it.
Let's talk about Sunday
Whether it is a website that answers the first-time visitor's questions or software for the team running the service, we have built both.
