What is the difference between the free review and the demo redesign?

The review is a 5-minute Loom critiquing your existing site. Fast, useful even if you do nothing else. The demo is a live preview URL with a fully rebuilt homepage. Much more involved on our end, so we reserve it for churches that already know their current site is the bottleneck.

Is the review really free? Why?

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.

Why no setup fee on the plans?

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.

What does “fully managed” actually cover?

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.

Do you use templates?

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.

How long does the redesign actually take?

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.

Do you set up analytics tracking?

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.

Can I leave after 12 months?

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.

Who owns the site after the term?

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.

What about my domain and email?

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

Do I need to switch giving platforms?

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.

What if my church is small?

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.

How do Google Ad Grants work?

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).

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

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.

Why this matters

Most guests decide whether to visit on your website, not at your door.

First-time guests look you up before they visit. They scan for a few seconds. If their basic questions do not get clear answers, they leave. Not because they lost interest. Because the next step was not obvious.
