A professional website that turns online visitors into first-time attenders.

This document is a summary of White Oak Media's Church Website Design service — prepared to help ministry leaders evaluate whether a new website is the right investment for their church right now.

Why this matters for your ministry

Before a first-time visitor ever steps through your doors, they visit your website. Studies consistently show that over 80% of people check a church's website before attending for the first time. If that experience is confusing, outdated, or slow to load, they often don't come back.

A clear, welcoming website that answers the questions visitors are actually asking — What time do you meet? What should I expect? Is there programming for my kids? — is an act of pastoral hospitality. It lowers the barrier to walking in.

A well-built site also frees your staff from answering repetitive questions by phone and email, returning those hours to ministry work.

What’s Included

Fully custom design (no templates)

Mobile-first, fast-loading build

Dedicated 'Plan Your Visit' page

Sermon archive & events calendar

Online giving integration

CMS — your team updates content without a developer

Hosting, domain, and security monitoring

Local SEO foundation (schema markup, sitemap, Google indexing)

Ongoing support — updates handled for you

The Investment

$295/ month

All-inclusive. No setup fee. No hosting bills. No developer invoices.

For context: $295/month is less than most churches spend on a single direct-mail piece. It covers your entire digital presence — design, hosting, maintenance, and a dedicated support team.

A Note on Doing Nothing

A church that's hard to find online or confusing to navigate isn't just missing a marketing opportunity — it's creating friction for people who are actively looking for a place to belong. Every month without a clear, welcoming website is a month of missed first impressions.
