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

Yes. We set it up so your staff or volunteers can make basic updates — adding events, changing service times, posting announcements. You won't need to call us every time something changes.

What if we already have a site on Wix or Squarespace?

We'll pull everything worth keeping — your text, photos, any content that still works — and rebuild from there. You won't lose what you've already put together. But you'll stop paying monthly fees to a platform you don't really control.

Do you work with small churches or just bigger ones?

Size doesn't matter. A 50-person church needs to be found online just as much as one with 500 members. The Simple Site package starting at $300 works well for smaller congregations that just need the basics done right.

How do you handle event calendars?

We build a clean events section that's easy to update without any technical knowledge. No clunky third-party widgets that break every few months. Just a page where you add your events and they show up looking good on every device.

Will this help us show up on Google Maps?

That's more about your Google Business Profile than your website — but yes, we make sure your site supports it. Correct address markup, consistent contact info, and proper local SEO structure all feed into how Google displays your church in map results.

Church website redesign for Gilmer congregations

If someone in Gilmer is looking for a church home, they're going to Google it. And if your site loads slow, looks rough on a phone, or doesn't even list your service times clearly — they're gone before they ever set foot in your building.

Your website might be the first impression

A lot of churches treat their website like an afterthought. Something somebody set up years ago on a free platform, maybe added a few photos, and never touched again. That's not a criticism — you've got a congregation to shepherd, ministries to run, people to care for. The website just slid down the list. But it matters more than you think.

What a church site actually needs to do

Folks checking out a church want three things fast: when do you meet, where are you, and what do you believe. That's visit one. If your site can answer those questions in about ten seconds on a phone screen, you're ahead of most churches in Upshur County.

But there's a second layer too. Event calendars that actually stay current. Info about youth groups, small groups, community programs. Maybe a way to submit prayer requests or sign up to volunteer. Stuff that keeps your existing congregation connected during the week — not just Sunday morning.

Most template church sites make this harder than it should be. You end up with a homepage that looks fine but buries everything else. Or the calendar widget breaks. Or the mobile version cuts off half the nav menu. And nobody tells you because your members just call the office instead.

How we'd rebuild it

We start from scratch. No templates, no drag-and-drop builders, no platforms you're renting space on. You get a site you actually own — the code, the design, all of it.

Mobile-first is the default. Not "also works on mobile" — we design for the phone screen first and scale up from there. Because that's how most people are going to find you. Sitting in their car after driving past your building on Highway 271. Standing in line at Gilmer Grocery. Scrolling on the couch Sunday night thinking about trying somewhere new.

We build in real SEO structure so that when someone searches "churches in Gilmer TX" or "Baptist church near me" you actually have a shot at showing up. Your service times, your address, your denomination — all marked up properly so Google can read it and display it right.

And then the stuff that keeps people engaged. A clean events page that's dead simple to update. Contact forms that go to a real inbox. Embedded maps so someone visiting from out near the Upshur County Courthouse area can get directions without leaving your site. Pages for each ministry that explain what's happening and how to get involved.

A full church website redesign starts at $1,500 and typically takes about a week. If you want search visibility baked in from day one — structured data, local SEO, Google Business Profile setup — that's our Website+SEO package starting at $3,500. Both come with hosting available at $50 a month so you don't have to think about servers or security updates.

Your church is doing real work in Gilmer. Your website should make it easy for people to find that work and join in.
