Design and copy, not a template drop
Every page is designed around what your church needs a visitor to do next, and written in your voice, not filler text you're expected to replace later.
Website Design
A church website your staff can actually keep current.
Most church websites aren't badly designed. They're abandoned, because whoever built them left and nobody on staff has forty minutes to figure out how to change a service time. We build the site on WordPress, write the words, connect your YouTube stream so sermons post themselves, and hand it over in a state your admin can run.
WordPress · fixed scope · fixed price · typically live in six to eight weeks
What's included
Everything a church site needs, and nothing it doesn't.
No page templates you're expected to fill in yourself, no plugin sprawl, no “content coming soon” three months after launch.
The stuff churches always bolt on badly
Service times, directions, and “what do I do with my kids” answered above the fold. Giving, events, sermons, and forms wired in properly instead of duct-taped to the footer.
Built for the person who has to update it
Your admin can change a service time, add an event, or swap a photo without calling anyone. We hand it over with a walkthrough and a written cheat sheet.
Fast, findable, and accessible
Mobile-first, quick on a phone in a church parking lot, structured so Google can read it, and legible for the 70-year-old member as well as the 20-year-old visitor.
Sermons that post themselves
We connect your YouTube channel so your livestream lands in a playlist on the site automatically. When Sunday's service ends, it's on the sermon page without anyone logging in.
WordPress, in your name
Built on WordPress, so you're not locked to us or to a proprietary builder. Domain, hosting, and logins stay with your church.
The process
You'll always know what week we're in.
The most common way a church website project fails is that everyone loses track of whose turn it is. So here's the whole thing, in order, with who does what.
-
01
Week 0
Conversation
A real conversation about your congregation, your staff capacity, and what's actually broken. You get a fixed scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
-
02
Weeks 1 to 2
Content and structure
We map the pages, gather what exists, and write what doesn't. This is the step most church website projects die in, so we drive it instead of waiting on you.
-
03
Weeks 2 to 4
Design
You see the real homepage in a browser, on a phone, with your content in it. Two rounds of revisions included, in plain language. No design jargon required.
-
04
Weeks 4 to 6
Build and connect
Every page built, giving and forms connected, the YouTube sermon playlist and calendar wired up, and everything tested on real phones.
-
05
Weeks 6 to 7
Launch and handoff
We move the domain, watch it for a week, and train your staff on the five things they'll actually need to do. You leave the call able to run it.
How we work
The parts churches get burned on.
Every church has a story about a website project that went sideways. These are the four places it usually happens.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You know the number before we start. No hourly surprises, no “that's out of scope” after the fact.
A real timeline, in writing
Most builds land in six to eight weeks. If your content slips, we tell you what that moves. Nobody disappears for three months.
You own everything
Domain, hosting, content, and accounts stay in your church's name. If you ever leave, you leave with the site.
We don't hold your edits hostage
Training and documentation are included. Ongoing care is available if you want it. It isn't required to keep the lights on.
Live examples
Three churches, live right now.
Not concepts. Not representative work. Three sites you can open in another tab, built for three completely different problems.
Dalton First UMC
A 180-year-old downtown church with twenty-odd ministry pages, and a homepage that still asks a visitor for one decision.
Grace UMC, Prattville
A congregation that worships in a YMCA, so the website has to do the job a building normally does.
Further, Together
A $1.5M capital campaign with every line item, and every price, on one page.
Built by someone in the room
We've sat in the staff meeting where the website comes up.
Wesley AI isn't an agency that took a church client once. Mat has spent more than a decade in ministry (worship, creative direction, communications), which means the site gets built around how a church office actually runs.
That the volunteer photographer will send you 400 images the week of launch. That the youth pastor will want an event page at 9pm on a Thursday. That “can you just add one thing” is never one thing. The build is designed around those realities instead of pretending they won't happen.
Website Design
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Quoted per church.
Every church is a different size with a different mess to untangle, so builds are quoted rather than listed. We start with a Zoom call, then you get a fixed scope and a number in writing before any work begins.

For a church whose site works but looks and reads like 2016.

Homepage and “I'm new here” rewritten
Mobile and speed cleanup

Full sitemap and page structure rebuilt
Copywriting for every core page
Giving, forms, events, and YouTube sermons wired in

Every package is quoted in writing before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprise line items.
