Can someone on our church staff update the site without knowing code?

Yes. We set up a simple content system so your team can change service times, add events, and post announcements without touching any code. If something bigger needs to change, we're a phone call away.

We have a very small budget. Is this realistic for us?

A full church website starts at $1,500, which is a one-time cost. After that, hosting is $50 a month. There are no surprise add-ons. If even that's tight, we can talk about a simpler site starting at $300 that covers the basics and leaves room to grow later.

What happens to our old site?

We can keep it running while the new one is being built, then switch over when you're ready. Nothing goes dark during the process. If you want to keep your current domain name, that transfers over too.

Do you work with churches that use specific tools like Planning Center or Church Center?

We can link to those tools from your site. If your congregation already uses a platform for giving or event registration, we'll make sure it's easy to get to from the new site. We just won't build the site itself on a locked-in platform.

How do we handle sermon recordings or video?

We can embed video from YouTube or Vimeo directly on your site. If you record sermons, we'll set up a page where people can find them by date or series. It doesn't add much to the build time.

Website Redesign · Mineola, TX

Church Website Redesign in Mineola

Most church websites in small towns got set up years ago on a free or cheap platform. Somebody in the congregation volunteered, picked a template, and did their best. That's how it goes. But the site hasn't been touched since, and now it's quietly working against you.

You Already Tried the Easy Route

At some point, someone on staff or in the congregation built your church a website. Maybe it was on Wix or Squarespace. Maybe it was a church-specific platform like Faithlife or Church Center. It looked fine at the time. But now it loads slow on phones, the service times are buried, and half the pages still say "coming soon."

The real problem isn't that it's ugly. It's that someone in Mineola searches for a church on Sunday morning—maybe they just moved to Wood County, maybe they're visiting family—and your site doesn't show up. Or it does, and they tap it on their phone, and nothing works right. They hit the next result instead. You never know it happened.

These platforms also lock you in. You can't move your site. You can't own your code. You're paying monthly for something you can't control and can't take with you. That's a bad deal for any organization, but it's a worse deal for a church that runs on tight budgets and volunteer labor.

What a Church Website Actually Needs to Do

A church site isn't a business site. The goals are different. Here's what yours should handle, in order of priority:

1. **Service times and location, immediately visible.** No clicking around. Someone lands on the homepage and knows when to show up and where to go. If your church is off Highway 69 near the Wood County Courthouse, say that plainly.

2. **A clear picture of who you are.** Beliefs, ministries, community programs, kids' stuff, small groups—whatever your church offers. People want to know what they're walking into before they walk in. This isn't about selling. It's about being honest and specific.

3. **Ways to connect without showing up first.** A prayer request form. A volunteer sign-up. An event calendar that actually gets updated. These are low-barrier entry points for people who aren't ready to visit yet but want to be part of something.

4. **Fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to update.** Your site needs to load quick on a phone over a mediocre connection. And someone on your team needs to be able to update the sermon schedule or add an event without calling a developer.

How We Build It

We start from scratch. No templates, no drag-and-drop builders, no platforms you'll be stuck paying for. You get a site built with clean code that you own outright.

The process takes about a week for a full church website, starting at $1,500. That includes mobile-first design, proper page structure for search engines, and a layout that puts your most important info where people actually look. If you want ongoing hosting, that's $50 a month—we keep it running, secure, and fast.

We're in Tyler, about 30 minutes down the road from Mineola. You're not dealing with a company three states away. And you're not locked into anything. The site is yours. If you ever want to take it somewhere else, you can.
