Question 1

What is the difference between the free homepage demo and the Loom review?

Accepted Answer

The homepage demo is the headline offer. We rebuild your site on a private preview URL in 5 to 7 business days, custom-built, yours to keep. The Loom review is the lighter alternative: a 5-minute critique of your existing site in 3 to 5 business days. Most churches start with the demo; the review is there if a full rebuild feels like too much yet.

Question 2

Is the review really free? Why?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have done it 40+ times and still doing them. It takes us about 10 to 15 minutes per church and it is a fair way for you to see how we think before any money changes hands. There is no follow-up sequence. You keep the Loom and decide.

Question 3

Do you use templates?

Accepted Answer

No. Every site is built from scratch around the specific church. We start from your visitor goals, your brand, your content, and your ministries, not a stock theme we tweak. Most full redesigns still ship in 5 to 7 business days from kickoff, faster than most agencies, but every site is custom from the ground up. Two churches on our plans never look the same. Each church is unique, and the site should reflect that.

Question 4

How long does the redesign actually take?

Accepted Answer

5 to 7 business days from kickoff to launch is typical, even though every site is custom built. The fastest projects ship in 5 days; bigger scopes can take the full 7. The piece that decides timing on your end is how quickly we get your content (logos, photos, service times, ministry descriptions). The faster that lands, the faster we ship.

Question 5

Do you set up analytics tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every redesign gets Google Analytics 4 installed with custom conversion tracking on the actions that actually matter for your church’s visitors. Because each site is built custom, the conversion events are too: a multi-site church with a Plan a Visit form gets that tracked, a smaller church where the give button is the main goal gets that tracked, and so on. You will see what is actually working from day one instead of guessing. For Ad Grants, GA4 is also linked to Google Ads so the campaigns optimize toward real on-site action, not just clicks. Monthly reports on Ongoing Care and Ad Grants management plans pull from both.

Question 6

How do I know which plan is right for my church?

Accepted Answer

Launch + Ongoing Care fits most churches — we handle the routine updates (sermons, events, photos, staff changes) so the work does not fall on your team. Launch + Train fits churches that already have a staff member or long-term volunteer who will own weekly site updates after launch. If you are not sure who would own that work at your church, Launch + Ongoing Care is usually the safer choice. Both plans build the exact same site — the difference is who maintains it.

Question 7

How much time does maintaining the site myself actually take?

Accepted Answer

For an actively maintained church site, plan on roughly 2 to 4 hours of staff time per month: about an hour on sermons (weekly uploads), 30 to 60 minutes on event pages each month, and another hour or so on photo refreshes, staff updates, and routine edits. On Launch + Train, that time falls on your team. On Launch + Ongoing Care, we handle it.

Question 8

Why no setup fee on the plans?

Accepted Answer

Because the redesign is the work. The 12-month term is how that work gets paid for. Adding a $1,000 setup fee on top would just slow churches down. It does not change what we deliver.

Question 9

What does “fully managed” actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Sermon and event updates, swapping photos and homepage sections, staff page changes, ministry info edits, simple new pages, and routine maintenance. It is not unlimited custom development, but it covers what most churches actually need on a recurring basis.

Question 10

Can I leave after 12 months?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 12-month term is a minimum, not a lock-in. After that you can continue with us, request a handoff, or move elsewhere. The church owns the site once everything is paid.

Question 11

Who owns the site after the term?

Accepted Answer

Your church. The final website content and deliverables are yours once the term is paid in full. Third-party tools (giving platforms, analytics, etc.) keep their own license terms. That is normal.

Question 12

What about my domain and email?

Accepted Answer

You keep your domain and your email setup. We point the new site at your existing domain when we launch.

Question 13

Do I need to switch giving platforms?

Accepted Answer

No. We integrate with whatever you are already using (Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Subsplash Giving, etc.). We do not push you onto a different platform unless you specifically want that.

Question 14

What if my church is small?

Accepted Answer

Plans are flat. A church of 80 pays the same as a church of 800. The work to deliver the site is the same. Most of our churches are 100 to 800 weekly attendance.

Question 15

How do Google Ad Grants work?

Accepted Answer

Google gives qualifying 501(c)(3) churches up to $10,000 per month in free Google Ads spend. We help you apply, set up the account so it stays compliant (5% click-through-rate floor), and run weekly optimizations. It is one of the highest-leverage growth tools available to a 501(c)(3).

Question 16

Can I just buy a plan without the review or demo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The review and demo are tools to help you decide. If you already know you want to work with us, skip ahead and we will follow up about getting started.

Question 17

My board needs to approve this. What do I share with them?

Accepted Answer

Most churches we work with run this past a board, finance team, or senior pastor before signing. Ask for the free homepage demo. You get a private preview URL of what a clearer site would look like, which is something concrete you can show in a meeting. If a full demo feels like too much, the 5-minute Loom review is the lighter alternative. Either way, reply to the email and we will send a one-page summary of the plan, scope, and pricing to share.

Question 18

We are paying another vendor right now. How does a transition work?

Accepted Answer

Nothing breaks during the build. Your current site stays live while we redesign in parallel on a preview URL. When the new site is ready, we point your domain to it — usually a 5 to 15 minute window during a quiet time of day. You can keep your old vendor running until your contract with them ends, then cancel cleanly. No site downtime, no scramble.

Question 19

Our fiscal year ends in [month]. Can we start now and bill later?

Accepted Answer

Most churches start when they are ready, not when the calendar says. The 12-month term begins on the first payment, so you control when that lands. If your finance team needs the first charge to hit in a specific month, tell us during kickoff and we will time the redesign so launch and first billing align. We have done this for fiscal-year-end and budget-cycle reasons before.

Question 20

A volunteer/staff member built our current site. What happens to them in this?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most common concerns and we take it seriously. On Launch + Ongoing Care, your existing site owner does not lose a role — we handle the technical updates, and they stay involved in content decisions, photo selection, what we feature on the homepage. On Launch + Train, your existing owner becomes the trained owner of the new site, with a 30-day window where we walk them through the new tools. Either way, no one gets blindsided.

Question 21

What happens to our site if Busic Digital closes?

Accepted Answer

Your church owns the site after the 12-month term, full stop. Final files (code, content, assets) are yours. Hosting is on industry-standard infrastructure that any developer can take over. If we ever closed, you would not lose your website — you would lose us as a vendor, which is different. We also document setup notes during the build so a future developer can pick up where we left off without reinventing anything.
