12 Best Church Website Design Companies in 2026 (Honest Review)

Your church needs a website. You start Googling “best church website design companies” and every list looks the same: ten companies, glowing reviews, no real pricing, and somehow the site publishing the list ranks itself first.

That’s not a coincidence. Most of these lists are written by a vendor, for a vendor, to sell you that vendor.

Full disclosure: REACHRIGHT is my company, and it is on this list. I will tell you exactly what we charge and who we are wrong for. I’m not going to pretend we’re the right fit for every church, because we’re not.

Here’s what makes this list different. I own a company on it. That should make you more skeptical, not less, which is exactly why I’m being specific about pricing, specific about limitations, and specific about who should choose someone else. You can check every claim yourself.

Every price in this post was checked against each company’s official pricing page on July 8, 2026. Pricing changes. Confirm current numbers before you sign anything.

The Short Answer

If you don’t want to read all twelve reviews, here’s the shortcut.

How I Ranked These Companies

I judged all twelve on five things: church-specific features, transparent pricing, what’s actually included in the monthly fee, who owns the site once it’s built, and support quality.

Every price came from the company’s official pricing page, checked on July 8, 2026. I did not use sales calls, affiliate dashboards, or third-party estimates unless a company refuses to publish pricing, and I say so when that’s the case.

REACHRIGHT is mine, and where a competitor beats us, I say so. You’ll see it in a few of these reviews. Nucleus has a genuinely better native feature set for prayer walls and giving than our tailored themes ship with out of the box. The Church Co beats our starting price if budget is the only variable that matters to you. I’m not going to bury that to make our own listing look better.

One more thing worth knowing before you start calling anyone: several church website companies hide their pricing behind a demo call. That’s a legitimate sales strategy, but it also means you can’t comparison shop without giving up your phone number first. Hidden pricing costs a company ranking positions in this list, because a church shopping on a Saturday night deserves to know the number before Monday’s call.

Quick Comparison: All 12 Companies

The 12 Best Church Website Design Companies

1. REACHRIGHT

REACHRIGHT is us. We build websites exclusively for churches, and we pair every site with local SEO and Google Ad Grant management when a church wants it. That’s the whole pitch: one team that handles the design, the search visibility, and the free Google ad budget most churches never claim.

We offer two ways to work with us:

Tailored websites: $97/month plus a $2,000 one-time setup fee. That setup fee is waived if you commit to 12 months. Tailored sites are built from six church-specific WordPress themes we designed and refined over years of working with congregations, and they’re live in 1-2 weeks.

Custom websites: quote-based, built by a dedicated designer, live in 8-12 weeks. This tier is for churches that want something built from a blank page, not a theme.

Both tiers include hosting, SSL, daily backups, content migration from your old site, online giving integration (Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Planning Center, and Subsplash all connect natively), searchable sermon archives, and ChMS integrations with Planning Center, Breeze, Tithe.ly, Pushpay, and Subsplash. Every site launches with Google Analytics installed and basic SEO in place, not bolted on later.

Across the 800+ church sites we’ve built, most visitors come from phones, so every design starts mobile-first, not desktop-first with a mobile afterthought.

If you want local SEO or Google Ad Grant management on top of the website, both are available as add-on services: Local SEO targets the “churches near me” searches happening in your area, and Google Grant management helps qualifying churches claim up to $10,000/month in free Google advertising. Neither is required to work with us, but most churches that add one end up adding both within the first year, because a website nobody finds isn’t doing its job.

After launch, you get a real person on the phone. Not a ticket queue, not a chatbot, and not an email that gets answered two days later.

We are wrong for you if: you want the cheapest possible option on this list, you enjoy doing web work yourself, or you need a site with zero ongoing monthly cost. If any of those describe your church, look at WordPress or one of the DIY builders further down this list. We’d rather tell you that now than sign you up and have you leave frustrated in six months.

Choose us if: you want a church-specific team handling design, SEO, and Google Grants under one roof, and you’d rather pay for that to be done right than spend your own hours learning a builder.

2. Nucleus

Nucleus is a purpose-built church website platform with a genuinely unique navigation tool called the “Launcher,” which gives visitors one-tap access to giving, service times, and prayer requests from anywhere on the site. Reviews are strong: 4.8/5 on Trustpilot and 4.9/5 on Capterra.

Pricing: Nucleus does not publish simple, single-number pricing on its site. Third-party listings report plans running roughly $39 to $129 per month depending on which products you bundle in, with a discount of about 10% per bundled product up to 30% off. Confirm current pricing at nucleus.church before you commit, since bundled pricing structures shift.

Limitation: the lack of a clear published price list makes it hard to comparison shop without talking to sales.

Choose them if you want a modern, church-only platform with strong support and you’re comfortable working out final pricing over a call.

3. The Church Co

The Church Co is a done-for-you church website platform that includes a free custom build with your subscription and advertises a 7-day turnaround for the initial design.

Pricing: Basic runs about $29/month billed annually. A mid tier runs about $49/month. Their top tier, “Ultimate,” includes a dedicated team and a custom app, but pricing for that tier isn’t disclosed on their site. See their pricing page for current numbers.

Limitation: the top tier’s opaque pricing means larger churches still end up on a sales call to get a real number.

Choose them if you want a done-for-you build at the lowest price point on this list among church-specific platforms.

4. Tithe.ly Sites

Tithe.ly built its name on giving software and added a website product on top. Giving is native, which makes sense given their history.

Pricing: the standalone church site runs $19/month. The “All Access” bundle, which adds giving, ChMS, a mobile app, and messaging alongside the site, runs $119/month. Check current tiers at get.tithe.ly/pricing.

Limitation: the $19 standalone plan is feature-light, and there’s real upsell pressure to move you into the $119 bundle.

Choose them if giving is your top priority and you’re open to eventually bundling your ChMS and app into the same subscription.

5. Subsplash

Subsplash is a full church technology ecosystem: mobile app, live streaming, giving, ChMS, and website, all under one login. For churches that want everything in one system, it’s one of the most complete options on this list.

Pricing: Subsplash does not publish tiered pricing. Third-party reports put starting pricing around $149/month, with most churches paying $300-800/month once add-ons are included. This is also a natural fit if you’re running a multisite church, since the ecosystem is built to scale across campuses.

Limitation: pricing opacity and cost. A larger church can end up spending significantly more than the advertised starting price once every module is turned on.

Choose them if you want one vendor for your app, streaming, giving, and website, and your budget can absorb the add-on costs.

6. Ministry Designs

Ministry Designs takes an SEO-first sales approach: a “first page of Google or your money back” guarantee, an 80,000+ church graphics library, and a claim of serving over 67,000 churches (their claim; we haven’t independently verified it).

Pricing: not published. You have to book a demo to get a number.

Limitation: hidden pricing. You can’t compare Ministry Designs against anyone else on this list without giving up your contact information first.

Choose them if an SEO ranking guarantee matters more to you than being able to comparison shop on price up front. Ask directly what happens if your site doesn’t hit page one, and get the guarantee terms in writing before you sign.

7. Amplify by Ministry Brands (formerly Clover Sites)

Clover Sites is being folded into Ministry Brands’ Amplify product. If you were quoted Clover Sites pricing in the past, it no longer applies.

Pricing: not published under the new Amplify branding as of this writing.

Limitation: this is a company mid-transition. Verify everything, including what features carry over and what the actual monthly cost is, before you sign anything.

Choose them if you’re already a Clover Sites customer being migrated and want to stay in the Ministry Brands family. For anyone shopping fresh, I’d wait until the dust settles or look elsewhere, since it’s hard to evaluate a product that’s actively changing its name, its pricing, and possibly its feature set at the same time.

8. ShareFaith

ShareFaith is really a church media company that also builds websites. The standout feature is a library of more than 100,000 graphics, mini-movies, and worship backgrounds included with your subscription, plus a zero-fee giving option.

Pricing: not displayed on their site. ShareFaith is part of the Ministry Brands family and sells through a consultative, sales-assisted process.

Limitation: no posted pricing, which makes it hard to shop without a call.

Choose them if a massive media library matters more to you than being able to see a price before you talk to anyone. ShareFaith also bundles kids ministry curriculum into some plans, which is a genuine differentiator nobody else on this list offers.

9. Landslide Creative

Landslide Creative is a Nashville-based agency that builds fully custom WordPress sites for churches, starting with a strategy phase before any design work begins.

Pricing: project-based, ranging roughly $5,000 to $20,000+ depending on scope. No published tiers, since every project is quoted individually.

Limitation: no transparent pricing until you’re deep into a sales process, and timelines run longer than any template-based option on this list.

Choose them if your budget is $10,000 or more, you’re a multi-campus church, and you want a fully custom, agency-built site with nothing templated about it.

10. WordPress

WordPress is free, open-source software that powers a huge share of the internet. There’s no church-specific version, but there are church themes and plugins you can piece together yourself.

Pricing: the software is free. Your real cost is hosting (roughly $10-30/month), a theme, and someone’s time to build and maintain the site.

Limitation: you’re the one who maintains it. Security patches, plugin updates, and backups are your responsibility, and if the volunteer who built it leaves, the church can be stuck.

Choose them if you have a genuinely design-savvy volunteer, want full ownership of your content, and are comfortable with ongoing maintenance being someone’s job at your church.

11. Squarespace

Squarespace is known for the best-looking templates in the industry and a clean editor.

Pricing: $16 to $99/month depending on plan.

Limitation: nothing church-specific. No native sermon archive, no giving integration, no visitor pathway built for a first-time guest. You’re building all of that yourself with third-party tools. For a deeper look, read our Squarespace for churches review.

Choose them if design is your top priority, your budget is under $30/month, and you have someone comfortable building the church-specific pieces yourself.

12. Wix

Wix is one of the most popular website builders globally, with an intuitive drag-and-drop editor and a free plan.

Pricing: $17 to $159/month, with a free plan available that displays Wix branding and ads.

Limitation: nothing church-specific here either, and once your site is live on Wix, migrating it to another platform later is harder than it should be. See our Wix for churches review for the full breakdown.

Choose them if ease of use matters most, your budget is tight, and you’re not worried about switching platforms down the road.

Other DIY builders you’ll see recommended on similar lists, GoDaddy, Weebly, and Jimdo, all work fine as basic website software. None of them offer anything church-specific. If you’re choosing between those three and Squarespace or Wix, I’d pick Squarespace or Wix every time.

DIY Builder or Done-for-You Company?

Here’s the decision framework I’d actually use if I were sitting across the table from you.

• Choose done-for-you if you don’t have a tech-savvy volunteer, your budget is realistically $100-200/month, and you want SEO handled by someone else instead of learning it yourself.
• Choose DIY if you have a design-savvy volunteer on staff or in your congregation and your budget is genuinely under $30/month.
• Choose fully custom (Landslide Creative) if your budget is $10,000 or more and you’re a multi-campus church that needs something built from scratch.
• Avoid any company that won’t show you pricing before a demo call, unless you enjoy sales calls. A church shopping for a website on a Saturday night should be able to see a number without giving up a phone number first.
• Avoid platforms in the middle of a brand transition (Amplify by Ministry Brands, formerly Clover Sites) until the dust settles and the new pricing and features are locked in.

None of these rules require you to pick REACHRIGHT. They’re the same questions I’d want a pastor to ask if they were talking to us, too. If the honest answer to “what’s my budget and how much of this do I want to manage myself” points you toward a DIY builder or a different church platform, that’s a fine outcome. The goal of this list is a website that actually gets built and actually gets found, not a sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a church website design company cost?

DIY builders like Squarespace and Wix run $16-30/month. Church-specific platforms like Nucleus, Tithe.ly Sites, and The Church Co run $19-150/month depending on the bundle. Done-for-you companies like REACHRIGHT run $97-250/month plus a setup fee. Fully custom agency builds run $5,000-20,000+ as a one-time project. Read the full church website cost breakdown for line-by-line numbers.

What is the best church website design company?

It depends on your budget and how hands-on you want to be. If you want everything done for you, including design, SEO, and Google Grant management, in one team, we think REACHRIGHT is the best overall option. Full disclosure: that’s our own company, so weigh that against the reviews above and decide what fits your church.

Can I get a church website for free?

Yes, with real limitations. Free plans from WordPress.com, Wix, and similar builders display the platform’s branding and often skip a custom domain. See our guide to free church websites for the options and their tradeoffs.

Should a church use WordPress, Squarespace, or a church-specific company?

It depends on whether you have someone willing to build and maintain the site. WordPress and Squarespace give you more design control at a lower monthly price, but you add church features like giving and sermon archives yourself. A church-specific company builds those features in from the start and maintains the site for you. If you don’t have a tech-comfortable volunteer, a done-for-you company is almost always the better investment. Our guide on how to choose the right church web design company walks through the full decision.

How long does a church website take to build?

A DIY build on Wix or Squarespace can take a weekend or stretch over several weeks, depending on who’s building it and how much time they have. A tailored, done-for-you build (REACHRIGHT’s tailored tier) typically takes 1-2 weeks. A fully custom agency build (REACHRIGHT’s custom tier, or Landslide Creative) typically takes 8-12 weeks.

What happened to Clover Sites?

Clover Sites is folding into Ministry Brands’ Amplify product. If you were previously quoted Clover Sites pricing, it may no longer apply. Confirm current pricing and feature details directly with Ministry Brands before signing anything.
