Leading church website builders

Websites4Christians are one of the leading church website builders.  We build websites for Chrisitan organisations and churchs that stand out from the crowd.  We focus on making easy for you to spread God's Word and keep your membership up to date by building websites that are easy to maintian and update.  Once we've completed the church website design we start to focuss on building the software that will enable you to easily update and maintain your site.

The first part of the building process is to pull together all the content that you want in your website.  This often means going through an existing site and reviewing all of the existing content and then deciding how much (if any) you want to take forward into your new design.  We're happy to proide help and guidance about what works and what doesn't work.  Over time we've gained experience about the things that seem to work on websites and how to target you content at your visitors.

Content is only part of the build

Having great content is perhaps the most important thing a website needs.  However our church website design services go much further.  Often as church website builders we need to build a secure area for the church membership.  This area can include all the information that you don't want in the public domain.  A good example might be ensuring that all the children's photos are in the membership area.  That said we'd suggest that having some pictures on the main, open part of the website is important too.  After all if you're considering going to church and you have a young family you'll want to know that the church is family friendly.  There is no better way of saying we're family friendly than pictures of kids on the website!

Whilst you're working on the content we'll build the areas for photos, sermons, rotas etc.  Since we've built a lot of church websites we can suggest a lot of things that you might want to consider.  The great thing about working with us is you don't need to pick right away.  We'll happily add features when you need them.  So rather than having to make all the decisions at once you can wait.

Building is an on-going process

Churches want to add new features to their websites all the time.  They get new initatives and ideas from members on an on-going basis.  For Websites4Christians this isn't a problem.  We have a background of software development so if you see something on a website that you'd like added to yours then we can create it for you.  Often we'll be able to add it at low or no cost.  

A good church website design has the ability to evolve and that's what we offer you.  A partnership that will last and is supported by a mutual desire to let others heard God's Word and hopefully they ultimately will come to know Him. 

Christian website design that stands out from the crowd!

Christian website design is at the heart of what we do!  Our company was started to help Christian organisations stand out on the internet.  We try to go further and at lower cost so that it is easy for Christian groups to get on line easily.  We don't limit your imagination with site builder applications that are limited in their capabilities.  Instead we offer you the ability to design exactly what you want!  Our designer works with you to understand what will fit your organisation and they then create a design that highlights this to your visitors.  We're able to do this because we offer bespoke development rather than trying to make a pre-built solution fit the bill.  It's the difference between off the peg and tailored solutions - except we keep the cost down because our mission is to help spread God's Word!  

You don't need to take the standard approach - you can stand out from the crowd.

Today visitors are looking for Christian website builders who can produce a design that is a bit different and features that enhance their experience when they use your website.  So it's important that Christian website design meets those needs.  Often it's tempting to buy a website "deal" that comes with a site builder system that will make it "easy" to build and update your website.  However you'll often find that once you start using the site builder it starts to show it's limitations pretty quickly.  It might not have something to allow you to put your sermons onto your page, or it might limit the number of pages you're allowed.  You might not be able to mix audio and video.  We know this because we have the same system that we can offer customers - it's just that we don't supply it.  In practise we've found that the system limitations don't allow the building of great websites, websites that really show what your church is all about.

The great thing about our way of working is that we're God centric.  We always aim to get you the best website possible because we want God's Word to be known and we think that by helping you to build something great that will happen.  So we offer low cost Christian website design and development but with a premium service delivery.   This means that you don't have to compromise of design or features to keep the costs low.  Instead we think about what works and what will help promote God and explain to visitors how they can get to know you and your organisation.

So when it comes to Christian website design (or church website design) why not talk to us and stand out from the crowd.  As a company we're focused on helping God's Word spread across the internet in the most effective way possible which is why we don't do standard but instead build from the begin a great looking and highly functional church website. 

Church website design services

Websites4Christians offer a variety of church website design services which generally fall into one of two categories: Church website design or Christian website design. Our services cover both areas:  our focus is to build powerful church websites (or Christian websites) which help to promote the Word of God across the internet.  Of course we also love to build websites for charities and businesses too but at our heart we're aiming to help Christian organisations when it comes to websites, the internet and all things IT related.

Your church is special and unique

We want you to have something that's built just for you that's why we don't offer site builder systems or pre designed templates.  We think when you're spreading the Word of God it's worthwhile taking the time to make something that truly reflects your church identity.  Something that's built just for you.  Your church is unique and your website should be too.  You should have a website that reflects your church and its membership.  Something that's designed based on what you believe and what you want to share.  So to ensure that you get the best solution for your church or Christian organisation our designs are all tailor made for you.  We work with you to understand what your particular needs are and we start from there.  This means that you end up with something that reflects your organisation or church membership more accurately.  Something that doesn't look like every other church website! 

Easy to update and maintain

Although we build bespoke, tailor made websites we still supply a system that's easy to update.  You can log in from any computer and adjust the text, add new pages, change images, upload sermons, create sliders and more... 

Our church website design services include a lot of thought about the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the website.  We don't deliver a site and then simply point you at the on-line manuals and expect it all to be fine.  Instead we take the time to ensure that you can make the updates that you want.  Unlike others we provide free personalised training for you.  So when you want to add something to the site but you've forgotten how to add it you just need to give us a call.  Our aim is to help spread God's Word so we're happy to help make your website into the best that it can be.

Of course if you'd prefer we'll happily undertake the updates to your site for you.  You simply email us the changes you'd like and we'll update the site for you.  This service can prove very useful when the person running the website for the church (or organisation) leaves.  Often there is no one to take over.  We'll happily step in until someone else can be found and when they are we'll provide training to get them up to speed.

Church website design

Websites4Christians are leaders in low cost church website design providing bespoke websites for churches (we also provide Christian website design for Christian organisations as opposed to churches). We build tailor-made websites for each of our customers. After discussing options the possibilities with you, we come up with a design and then build it just for you. It's the difference between "off the shelf" and bespoke tailoring.

Over time as church website builders we have built up a process which enables you to build the website you've been looking for. We start with a conversation where we discuss in depth the kind of things you’d like to use your website for and who you are trying to reach. This tends to be a broad discussion and covers all the features you want for your website both now and in the future.  Often this includes discussion about two types of visitor; church members and directed visitors.

The two types of church website visitor have differing needs and so when we design your church website we account for each of them.  The church membership often has it's own private area where details like the church directory, photographs and church duty rotas are shared.  The directed visitors often have pages built specifically for them.  For example if your church is running a youth outreach event and has sent out flyers then the flyers can direct visitors to a specific page.  We work through all the options with you to ensure your church website will be able to cope effectively whoever the visitor is.

Building the landing page 

Once we've completed the initial design our designer produces a landing or home page for your site. This page helps define the look, style and colours that will be used in the rest of the website. We iterate with you this design until it’s something you’re really excited about.  Once completed this initial design is built into a full website mock up. We add in all the content and pages that you are hoping for. This mock up allows us to quickly adjust the look and feel of the site and the pages within it to fit your vision. With the mock up complete we can move to full build.

The full build stage is where you start to see your site come alive on the internet. We add in all the forms and other functional pages (like links to Google maps or Vimeo/YouTube videos). This stage can be quite quick since all the work has been completed by building the mock up and design brief. With the site now ready we transfer it to the final destination URL (for example our domain name is www.websites4christians.com).

This of course is not the end but the beginning. We now provide training and support in using your site and even offer a full updating service. You can call us at any time and we’ll happily help you change your thoughts into practical reality.

Finally it’s worth remembering that as part of our church website design and development service we also include a full email service. This allows you email addresses that you can use on your phone, computer, tablet etc for your church.  We even provide you with web-mail so you can access your email from any computer.
