Who it's for
Whether you're a single parish, an independent congregation, a growing new church, or several churches sharing a vicar, the same simple idea applies: a proper website, built once, kept current by me.
Parish churches
A huge amount of what a parish church needs from a website is the same wherever you are: clear service times, who the vicar or churchwardens are, how to find the building, and somewhere to put news of christenings, weddings, funerals and the regular round of parish life. Most parish sites I build sit on a very traditional structure underneath — home, about, services, news, contact, safeguarding — but written properly for your actual church rather than filled in from a template.
If your parish already has a site through a diocesan scheme or an old freelance build, that's usually where the conversation starts: something was built once, a while ago, and it's been quietly going stale ever since because nobody has the time or the technical confidence to keep it updated. Replacing it with something you can hand content to — rather than something you have to log into — tends to be the whole fix.
Independent & free churches
Independent, Baptist, Pentecostal and other free churches often have a different job for their website to do — less about a fixed parish boundary, more about welcoming people who've never been before and giving a real sense of what a Sunday, or a midweek group, actually feels like. That usually means more emphasis on "what to expect if you visit," on ministries and groups (youth work, prayer meetings, community outreach), and on a website that reads as warm and current rather than formal and static.
Because updates are unlimited and there's no login required from your end, a leadership team can send through a new sermon series, a testimony, or details of an upcoming baptism service as often as it's actually happening — which for a lot of these churches is genuinely often.
Church plants & growing churches
A new or growing church is usually working with the least spare time and the smallest budget of any of these — which is exactly the situation this service is built for. £50 a month, no setup fee, gets a properly built site live without a big upfront cost, and because there's no CMS to learn, nobody on a small leadership team has to become the unofficial website person on top of everything else they're already doing.
It also means the site can grow alongside the church rather than needing a redesign every time something changes — a new venue, a new service time, a new ministry starting up — is just another update sent through, built, and published.
Groups & benefices
A large share of the churches I build for aren't on their own at all — they're part of a benefice or group of parishes sharing one vicar, one PCC structure, and now one website, with each individual church properly represented within it rather than reduced to a single line in a list. Pricing works per church on the same site: £50 a month for the first, £15 a month for each one after that, so a nine-parish group costs the same, church for church, as a single parish would.
This is common enough, and different enough in how it's structured, that it has its own page — see Groups & Benefices for the full detail on how shared sites, shared pricing, and multiple update-senders actually work in practice.
Most churches don't fit neatly into one box, and that's fine — the approach flexes to what your church actually needs, not the other way round. Send a message and we'll talk it through.
