Can we update the site ourselves after it's built?

Yes. We set it up so that someone on your staff or a volunteer can make basic updates — adding events, changing service times, posting announcements. We'll walk you through it. If you'd rather have us handle updates, that's covered under the hosting plan.

We don't have a logo or any branding. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Many smaller churches don't. We can work with what you have, even if that's just a name and a cross. If you do want a logo designed, that's a separate project starting at $500 and takes one to two weeks.

What if we already have a website but it's outdated?

We'll take a look at it. Sometimes it makes sense to rebuild from scratch, sometimes there's a foundation worth keeping. Either way, the goal is the same — a site that's accurate, fast, and easy for visitors to use.

Do you work with churches of any denomination?

Yes. The structure of a good church website doesn't change much between denominations. Service times, beliefs, ministries, how to connect — those needs are universal.

How do church websites show up when someone searches for churches near Malakoff?

That comes down to a few things: having your church name and address consistent across Google, keeping your Google Business Profile updated, and having a website that loads fast with the right information on it. The website we build covers that last part. If you want help with the rest, our Website and SEO package starting at $3,500 handles all of it.

Web Design for Churches in Malakoff, TX

Most churches in small towns have either no website at all or one that was set up years ago and never touched again. If your church in Malakoff has a site that still lists last year's VBS dates, you're not alone — but you are making it harder for new families to walk through your doors.

You Probably Already Tried This Once

Somebody in the congregation volunteered to build the church a website. Maybe it was a deacon's kid home from college, maybe it was a free Wix page someone threw together between Wednesday night supper and choir practice. It worked for a while. Then the person who built it moved on, nobody had the login, and the site just sat there collecting dust.

That's not a criticism — it's how it goes for most small churches. The budget is tight, the staff is small, and a website never feels as urgent as keeping the lights on or funding the youth mission trip. But here's the problem: when a young family moves to the Malakoff area — maybe someone working at the power station, maybe folks settling near Lake Palestine — the first thing they do is search for churches nearby. And if your site looks abandoned, they assume the church might be too.

A church website doesn't need to be fancy. It needs to be current, clear, and easy to find. That's a low bar, but it matters more than most church leaders realize.

What a Church Website Actually Needs to Do

There's a lot of advice out there about church websites. Most of it overcomplicates things. Here's what actually matters:

1. **Service times and location on the front page.** Not buried in a menu. Not on a separate "About" page. Right there, immediately, with a link to directions. If someone has to hunt for when you meet, they'll just try the next church on the list.

2. **A plain explanation of who you are.** Your beliefs, your ministries, your community programs. Visitors want to know what to expect before they show up. A short, honest description does more than a mission statement written by committee.

3. **An event calendar that's actually current.** If it still shows your fall festival from last October, it does more harm than good. A simple calendar that gets updated — even monthly — tells people your church is active and engaged.

4. **A way to connect before visiting.** Prayer request forms, volunteer sign-ups, contact info for the pastor. Some people aren't ready to walk in on Sunday morning. Give them a low-pressure way to reach out first.

5. **Fast load times on a phone.** Most people searching for a church are doing it from their couch on a Saturday night. If your site takes forever to load or looks broken on mobile, that visit isn't happening.

That's the list. No video production, no app, no social media integration suite. Just the basics, done right.

What This Costs and How Long It Takes

For most churches in Malakoff and the surrounding Henderson County area, a full website with everything listed above — service info, beliefs page, calendar, contact and connection forms — runs starting at $1,500 and takes about a week to build. Hosting after that is starting at $50 a month, which covers keeping the site live, secure, and updated.

If your church is brand new or just needs a single-page site with service times, location, and contact info, a simple site starts at $300 and can be done in a few days.

We're based in Tyler, about 45 minutes up the road. Close enough to meet in person if that matters to your leadership team, which for churches it usually does. The site gets built by one person — not handed off through a chain — so the pastor or church admin talks directly to whoever's doing the work.

Stewardship matters to churches. We get that. There's no pressure to add things you don't need, and we won't push features that don't serve your congregation. If a simple site handles it, we'll say so.
