The real cost

Your website is either opening doors or closing them

53% of mobile users leave a site that takes over 3 seconds to load. When someone Googles your church, they make a decision in seconds, not about your theology or worship style, but about whether your site looks trustworthy enough to visit.

A young family visits your website on their phone to check service times. The text is tiny, the menu doesn't work, they pinch-zoom and give up. They never make it to Sunday.

Your church does incredible ministry. But your website makes you look like a small, outdated organization that hasn't changed since 2015. Visitors judge the church by the site.

Families gathering at church on a Sunday morning

Now imagine this:

It's Saturday night. A single mom who just moved to your city types "churches near me" into her phone. She taps your site. In 8 seconds she sees service times, a photo of real families like hers, and a button that says "Plan Your Visit." She taps it, fills in her name, and gets a welcome text from your greeter team. Tomorrow morning, she walks through your doors with her two kids, because your website did what it was built to do.

What's included

Everything your church needs. Nothing it doesn't.

All 18 features included at $97/mo. No paywalls. No "premium" add-ons. No surprises. See them in action below.

Mobile-First Design

Built for phones first, because that's where 70%+ of your visitors are. Every page, every button, every form works on a phone screen.

Online Giving

Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Planning Center: we integrate your platform so members can give in 3 taps. No friction. No confusion.

Sermon Archives

A searchable library with audio, video, and notes. Your pastor preaches once on Sunday, but the message reaches people all week long.

Events & Registration

Sign-ups for services, small groups, VBS, and special events. No phone calls, no paper forms, no spreadsheets.

"I'm New" Visitor Pathway

The #1 page first-time visitors look for. We build a clear path from "I'm curious" to "I'm coming Sunday," with service times, what to expect, and a way to connect.

Hosting, Security & Speed

SSL, daily backups, 99.9% uptime, and under-2-second load times on mobile. Every update handled for you. You never think about it.

Plus everything else your church needs:

Built on WordPress

You own your content and can update anything, anytime. Add a sermon, change service times, post an event, all without calling us.

Professional Church Design

6 church-specific themes customized to your brand, or fully custom from scratch. Either way, it looks like you, not a template.

Staff & Leadership Pages

Put real faces front and center. Visitors feel connected to your team before they ever walk through the doors.

Small Group Finder

Help people find community without calling the church office. Browse groups by day, topic, or location and sign up online.

Content Migration

We move your pages, photos, and content from your old site. You don't lift a finger.

Google Analytics & SEO

Analytics installed at launch, sitemap submitted to Google, and on-page SEO so people actually find you.

Blog & Church News

Keep your congregation informed and give Google fresh content to index. Post updates, devotionals, or recaps in minutes.

Photo & Media Galleries

Show the real life of your church: baptisms, serve days, small groups. Real photos build more trust than any headline.

Contact & Connection Forms

Prayer requests, visitor cards, volunteer sign-ups, pastoral inquiries. One tap to reach out, and it goes straight to the right person.

Live Stream Integration

YouTube, Vimeo, or your streaming platform, embedded right on your site so members who can't make it in person never miss a service.

Social Media Integration

Your Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube feeds connected to your site. One ecosystem, not five separate islands.

Training & Ongoing Support

We train your team on WordPress so you feel confident. And when you need help, we're a phone call away, not a ticket queue.

From churches like yours

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

Church Website Design Essentials

What makes a great church website?

A great church website does two things: it helps new visitors take the next step, and it keeps your congregation connected throughout the week. That sounds simple, but most church websites fail at one or both.

The biggest mistake we see? Churches treat their website like a digital bulletin board. Service times buried on an "About" page. A stock photo from 2018. No clear path for a first-time visitor to say "I want to come this Sunday." Your website isn't a brochure. It's the front door to your ministry, and 85% of visitors check it before they ever walk through your physical doors.

Here's what separates church websites that convert visitors from the ones that don't:

Mobile-first, not mobile-friendly

There's a difference. Mobile-friendly means your desktop site shrinks to fit a phone. Mobile-first means every page, button, and form was designed for a phone screen from the start. Over 63% of church website traffic comes from mobile devices. If your site isn't built for phones first, you're losing the majority of your visitors.

Speed that keeps people on the page

Google's data shows that 53% of mobile users leave a site that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Every REACHRIGHT site loads in under 2 seconds on mobile. That's not a nice-to-have. It's the difference between a visitor seeing your church and bouncing to the next result.

A clear "I'm New" visitor pathway

First-time visitors have three questions: When do you meet? Where are you? What should I expect? If your website answers those in under 10 seconds, you'll see more new faces on Sunday. We build a dedicated visitor pathway on every site we design.

Local SEO built into the foundation

A beautiful website that nobody finds is just an expensive business card. Every site we build includes proper heading structure, meta descriptions, image optimization, schema markup, and sitemap submission so your church shows up when families search "churches near me." For deeper visibility, pair your site with our Local SEO service.

These aren't optional extras. They're the baseline for any church website that wants to reach people in 2026. The good news: every site REACHRIGHT builds includes all of them, starting at $97/month. Check out our complete church website design guide for a deeper look at what your site needs.

Built for your church

Church website design for every size

Whether you're a church plant or a multi-campus organization, we've built websites for churches at every stage.

Church Plants & Small Churches

Under 200 members? Your website matters even more because you don't have decades of community reputation working for you. New families will judge your church by what they see online.

Our Tailored plan at $97/month gives you a professional, mobile-first site with online giving, sermon archives, and event management. Ready in 1-2 weeks so you can focus on ministry, not web development.

7 website tips for growing churches

Mid-Size Churches

200-1,000 members means more programs, more staff, and more moving pieces. Your website needs to serve first-time visitors and long-time members equally well.

Most mid-size churches benefit from our Tailored or Custom plans, depending on how many unique ministry pages and integrations you need. This is where bundling with Local SEO and Google Ad Grants becomes a growth multiplier.

9 proven church growth tactics

Large & Multi-Campus

1,000+ members or multiple locations require architecture that scales. Campus selectors, location-specific pages, shared branding with local flexibility, and integrations with your ChMS.

Our Custom plan includes multi-site architecture, advanced ChMS integrations (Planning Center, Church Community Builder, Breeze), and a dedicated designer who understands large-church complexity.

Why REACHRIGHT

Church web design that goes beyond a pretty homepage

Most church website designers hand you a site and disappear. You get a good-looking homepage, maybe a few interior pages, and then you're on your own. Six months later, the site is outdated, the blog hasn't been touched, and the "Events" page still shows last year's VBS.

We built REACHRIGHT differently. When you work with us, you get a team that sticks around. Your subscription includes ongoing hosting, security updates, daily backups, and support by phone. Not a ticket queue. Not a chatbot. A real person who knows your church by name.

But the real difference is what happens after your site launches. We're not just a church website design company. We're a church growth partner. That means your site is built to work with our Local SEO, Google Ad Grants, and social media services as a single growth engine. Your website converts. Local SEO gets you found. Google Ads brings families from across your city. Social media keeps your congregation engaged between Sundays.

That's why 800+ churches trust us. Not because we build pretty websites (we do), but because those websites actually fill seats on Sunday morning.

Questions

Still have questions? Good.

How long does it take to build our website?
Tailored websites (built on one of our six professionally designed themes) can be ready in 1-2 weeks. Custom websites designed from scratch typically take 8-12 weeks. Either way, we handle everything: design, content migration, testing, and launch.
Can we update the website ourselves?
Yes! We build every site on WordPress, so you have full control. Add sermons, update service times, post events, change photos, anytime. We provide training so your team feels confident, and we're here if you need help with anything more complex.
Do you migrate our existing content?
We migrate all content from your main pages at no extra cost. If you need sermons, events, or blog posts migrated, we can provide a custom quote. We also clean up and reorganize content that's gotten messy over the years.
What makes this different from Squarespace or Wix?
Three things: it's built specifically for churches (giving integration, sermon archives, event management), you get a dedicated team handling everything (not a DIY template), and it's optimized to convert visitors into Sunday guests. A generic website builder gives you a site. We give you a growth tool.
Do we own the website?
You own all your content, images, and data. The website is hosted and maintained as part of your subscription. If you ever cancel, we provide a full export of all your content so you're never locked in.
How does billing work?
Tailored websites are billed monthly at $97/mo with a $2,000 one-time setup fee. Commit to 12 months and we waive the setup fee. That's the option most churches choose. Custom websites have custom pricing based on your church's needs. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
Do you design websites for small churches?
Absolutely. Some of our best work is with churches under 200 members. A smaller church actually benefits more from a professional website because you don't have the name recognition or word-of-mouth that megachurches rely on. Your website is how new families find you. Our $97/month tailored plan was built specifically to give smaller churches a professional online presence without a massive budget.
Will my church website be optimized for Google?
Every site we build includes on-page SEO: proper heading structure, meta descriptions, image alt text, fast load times, mobile responsiveness, XML sitemap submission, and Google Analytics setup. For churches that want to dominate local search results, we offer a Local SEO service that optimizes your Google Business Profile, builds local citations, and targets "churches near me" searches in your area.
Can you integrate our church management software?
Yes. We regularly integrate with Planning Center, Church Community Builder, Breeze, Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Subsplash, and other popular church platforms. Your giving platform, event registration, and member tools can all connect directly to your website so everything works together.
What if I already have a website I don't like?
Most of our clients come to us with an existing site that's outdated, slow, or not mobile-friendly. We handle the full redesign and migration. Your domain name stays the same, your Google rankings are preserved through proper redirects, and your congregation won't miss a beat. We've redesigned hundreds of church websites and know how to make the transition seamless.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?
Yes. Your monthly subscription includes hosting, SSL certificates, daily backups, WordPress core and plugin updates, security monitoring, and ongoing support by phone. You never have to worry about your site going down, getting hacked, or falling behind on updates. We handle all of it.
Can my church website accept online donations?
Every site we build includes online giving integration. We work with Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Planning Center Giving, and other popular platforms. Members can give in 3 taps from their phone, set up recurring donations, and even give during a livestream. We make sure the giving experience is seamless on both desktop and mobile.

Somewhere right now, a family is Googling your church.

They'll land on your website and make a decision in 5 seconds. Will they see a fast, welcoming, mobile-friendly site that says "you belong here," or a dated page that sends them to the church down the street?

Starting at $97/month. Tailored sites ready in 1-2 weeks.
