Can we keep our current domain name and email addresses?

Yes. Your domain transfers over and your email stays the same. Nothing changes for your staff or congregation on that front—just the website itself gets rebuilt.

Who updates the site after it's built—do we need a tech person?

We can handle updates for you, or we can set it up so someone on your team can make basic changes. Most churches have at least one person comfortable enough with a computer to swap out an event or update service times. We'll make sure that's easy to do.

We have a small congregation. Is a redesign really worth it for a church our size?

A church in a town like Alto probably relies more on its website than a megachurch does, honestly. Larger churches have name recognition. Smaller ones need their online presence to do the heavy lifting when someone's searching for a place to worship. Size of the congregation doesn't change the need for a site that works.

Can we accept online donations or tithes through the site?

We can integrate a giving platform into the redesign. Most churches use a third-party processor for donations, and we'll build that into the site so it feels native rather than sending people off to some other page.

How do we handle the event calendar without it becoming a mess?

We set up a calendar system that's simple to maintain. The key is making it easy enough that someone actually keeps it current. A gorgeous calendar that's three months out of date helps nobody. We'll walk your team through how to keep it updated in a couple minutes each week.

When Was the Last Time You Looked at Your Site on a Phone?

Here's a question worth sitting with: if someone new to Alto—maybe they just moved out near the Heritage Routes, maybe they're visiting family—searches for a church on Sunday morning, what do they find when they tap your link?

Most church websites were set up by a well-meaning volunteer a few years back using whatever free or cheap platform was handy at the time. And that was fine. It got the job done. But the web moved on. Half the people looking for your service times are doing it from a phone screen while they drink coffee, and if your site pinches and zooms and loads like it's thinking real hard about whether it wants to show up—they'll just try the next church down the list. That's not a judgment on your ministry. It's just how phones work.

The frustrating part is that everything people actually need is probably on your site somewhere. Service times, your beliefs, maybe a calendar. But if it's hard to find or hard to read on a small screen, it might as well not be there. A redesign isn't about making things prettier. It's about making sure the information that matters is easy to get to, fast to load, and clear enough that someone brand new knows exactly where to show up and when.

What a Church Site Actually Needs to Do

Churches have a weird spot in web design. You're not selling anything. You're not running an online store. But you still need people to take action—show up on Sunday, sign up for a small group, submit a prayer request, find out about VBS.

So the site has to do a few things well. Service times and your address should be impossible to miss. Your beliefs and what your church is about should be right there, written in plain language, not buried in a PDF. If you've got ministries, youth programs, community outreach—those need their own space. And an event calendar that actually gets updated is worth more than any fancy design element.

We also build in connection points. A volunteer interest form. A prayer request page. A simple way for first-time visitors to ask a question without feeling like they're committing to something. These aren't complicated features, but they make the difference between a site that informs and one that actually brings people through the door.

So What Does This Cost and How Does It Work?

Fair question. No runaround.

For most Alto churches, a full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. That gets you a mobile-first site, built with clean modern code, designed around what your church specifically needs. Not a template with your logo dropped in. An actual site.

If you want search visibility baked in from day one—so when someone searches "churches in Alto TX" you actually show up—that's our Website+SEO package, starting at $3,500, and takes one to two weeks.

Hosting runs $50 a month. You own the code. You're not locked into a platform that holds your site hostage if you stop paying. And you're not stuck waiting on some third-party support team when you need your Easter service times updated.

We're a web design company in Tyler. Cherokee County is a short drive. We build the site, hand you something that works, and keep the hosting solid so you don't have to think about it.
