Church Web Site Design:
No matter what size the church, no matter what size the budget – we can help your church to integrate an excellent and effective web site into your communications strategy. We will want to have an initial (free to you) consultation to hear your ministry story and to assess your ministry needs before we proceed. We will customize the services and pricing to your specific ministry. We can do something to accommodate any budget!
There are many good church website design solutions and packages for churches available today. What make MinistryStory different is that we don’t just design a website…
- Content Matters: we help you craft your story
- Your Church Culture: we integrate the culture of your church into the site through text, pictures, and video
- Marketing Focus: we look at everything we do through a marketing lens – what is your message communicating and how is it being received by a new visitor to your site
- Designed For First-Time Visitors: the front page is designed specifically to communicate to someone who has never been to your church before
- Search Engine Optimization Matters: – alot! You can have the prettiest website but if no-one can find it…it is useless. We will work hard to make sure you’ll be found!
- Usability: our sites are crafted to maximize the user experience while at the same time being easy for you to manage YOUR content
- Mobile: your site must accessible on a mobile phone or tablet. Our sites are “responsive” which means they automatically adjust to the screen size of the device being used. This makes your content accessible anywhere!

What Does it Cost?
That is the question everyone wants the answer to. Because each project is customized to the needs of the church and I am very careful to work towards good stewardship within your budget constraints, I really need to talk to you to determine what you need. No two projects are the same. That said, the minimum typically starts at the $700.00 + expenses mark. The average site is around $1200 – $1400. I typically advise a church to budget between $1000 – $1500 and then we can easily work within those parameters. Larger churches (over 500 attendees) of course have greater needs and should budget over $2000.
Please contact me to discuss your specific ministry. I promise to be fair and transparent in the quoting process.
