Can we still update the site ourselves after you build it?

Yes. We'll set it up so your staff or volunteers can make basic updates — new events, schedule changes, blog posts — without needing to call anyone. If you need a bigger change down the road, we're around.

What happens to our old website content?

We'll pull over anything worth keeping — sermon archives, ministry descriptions, photos. Most of the time a redesign is also a good excuse to clean house and cut pages nobody's visited in two years.

Do you build donation or giving pages?

We can integrate with whatever giving platform your church uses — Tithe.ly, Pushpay, PayPal, whatever. We don't process donations directly, but we make sure the button is where people expect it and the process is simple.

How do you handle the event calendar?

We'll set up a calendar that's easy to update and displays cleanly on phones. If you already use a Google Calendar or Planning Center, we can pull from that so you're not entering things twice.

Our church is small — do we really need a custom site?

Small churches in small towns might need a good website more than big ones. A large church has name recognition. If someone's searching for a church in Overton and your site doesn't show up or looks abandoned, they're going to pick the one that does show up. Size of the congregation doesn't change that.

Website Redesign · Overton, TX

Website redesign for churches in Overton

You probably already tried updating your church's website. Maybe someone on the worship team volunteered, or you paid for one of those church-specific website platforms a few years back. It looked fine at the time. Now it loads slow on phones, the service times are buried somewhere nobody checks, and visitors drive past your building because Google sent them to an outdated address.

What went wrong the first time

Most church websites get built with good intentions and zero strategy. Somebody picks a template, drops in a cross graphic, lists Sunday morning at 10:30, and calls it done. That works for about six months. Then the youth group starts, the Wednesday night schedule changes, someone adds a page for the food pantry, and suddenly the whole thing is a maze that nobody — including your own members — can find anything on.

The other common path: you signed up for a church website builder. Monthly fee, drag-and-drop editor, built-in sermon player. Sounds reasonable. But now you can't move your site, you can't change the layout beyond what they allow, and you're paying every month for something that looks like every other church site on the platform. Your congregation in Overton doesn't look like a megachurch in Houston. Your website shouldn't either.

A redesign isn't about making things prettier. It's about making the site do its job — tell people who you are, when you meet, and how to show up.

What a church website actually needs to do

1. **Answer the first three questions.** When someone new to Overton searches for a church — maybe they just moved, maybe they're visiting family in Rusk County — they want service times, an address, and some idea of what to expect. That information should be visible in seconds, on any device, without scrolling through a slideshow.

2. **Give your community a reason to come back to the site.** An event calendar that's actually current. Information about small groups, youth programs, or community meals. If your church runs a food pantry or hosts Overton ISD events, that should be easy to find and easy to update.

3. **Make it simple to connect.** Prayer request forms, volunteer sign-ups, contact info for specific ministries. Not fifteen fields and a CAPTCHA — just a short form that goes to the right person.

4. **Load fast and work on phones.** A good chunk of the people looking for your church are doing it from their truck in a parking lot or their couch on a Sunday morning. If the site takes forever or the text is tiny on a phone screen, they'll just move on.

5. **Show up in search results.** Proper page titles, clean URLs, a Google Business listing that matches your site. Basic stuff that most church website builders skip or bury behind an upgrade tier.

What this costs and how it works

For most churches in the Overton area, a full website redesign starts at $1,500. That gets you a custom-built site — not a template — with mobile-first design, an event section, service info, ministry pages, and contact forms. Takes about a week. You own the code when it's done. No platform lock-in.

If you want search visibility built in from the start — so folks searching for churches near Overton or in Rusk County actually find you — the website plus SEO package starts at $3,500 and runs one to two weeks. Hosting after that is $50 a month.

We build the site, hand you something that works, and stay out of your way unless you need us. That's about it.
