Questions, answered plainly

A service that builds a website for your church, group or benefice, then keeps it updated for you every week — free for the church, funded by sponsors.

Yes — parish churches, independent, Baptist and Pentecostal churches, new church plants, and groups or benefices of any size. See Who It's For.

That's common — most churches getting in touch already have a site that's gone stale or become hard to update. See Switch to Us for how moving over works.

Nothing. The build, the hosting and every weekly update are funded by sponsors through one shared pot, not billed to your church. See Sponsorship for the full detail.

No, never. The full build, hosting and ongoing weekly updates are all covered by sponsorship from day one.

Every sponsor — a church member, a local business, or money raised through a fundraiser — pays into one shared pot. Each week the pot is allocated, and every £20 a month of support in it funds one more church website.

The site stays live for a period while new sponsors are found or we talk through the options together. I'll always contact you directly first.

No — sponsorship pays for the site, it doesn't come with editorial control. What goes on your church's site stays between you and me. Sponsored sites carry a simple "Supported by" credit.

One batch of changes — however much or little you send — built and published together. Every sponsored site gets a weekly round. Full detail on Keeping Your Site Current.

Anyone your church nominates — a vicar, churchwarden, magazine editor or event organiser can all send content directly. There's no login required.

Whatever's easiest — email, WhatsApp, a phone call, or a forwarded newsletter all work.

Your weekly round is usually published within a couple of business days of being sent. Say so when you send it, and something time-sensitive gets turned around faster.

One website represents the whole group, with a shared home page plus an individual section for each church. It's free, not per church — see Groups & Benefices.

No — there's no per-church surcharge. A nine-parish benefice is funded exactly the same way as a single parish, because it's one website, not several.

Yes — its own dedication, history, service times and contact details, so no parish in the group gets reduced to a single line in a list.

Yes — whoever looks after news for each church can send updates directly for their own section, rather than everything going through one benefice-wide webmaster.

Yes — safeguarding contact details and front-page visibility are built into every site, in line with Church of England guidance, and kept current as that guidance is updated. See Safeguarding & Online Safety.

Very much so — churches, and often older members of the congregation, are a known target for scams. Every site includes clear signposting to Action Fraud. See Safeguarding & Online Safety.

Yes. The new site is built alongside your current one, and nothing changes for visitors until it's ready and the domain is pointed across, on a date you agree. See Switch to Us.

No — the new site is only switched live once it's built and you've approved it, so there's continuous coverage throughout.

If your church already has one, I'll help point it at the new site. If it isn't registered yet, that's handled as part of getting started.

Get in touch through the contact page, by phone, email or WhatsApp. We'll have a conversation about your church or group, agree what the site needs to include, and take it from there.

No — the site is hand-built rather than built on a page-builder or CMS, so there's no login to edit it yourself. You send updates through and they're built and published for you as part of the weekly update round.

Yes — hosting is included at no cost to your church, with no separate bill or renewal to manage. Help getting a domain name registered is included when you get started too.

Yes — see the Privacy Policy for how enquiry and contact-form data is handled. A hand-built site with no login and no plugins also has a much smaller technical footprint to worry about than most template-based platforms.
