YOUR CHURCH'S WEBSITE HAS ONE JOB
The Primary Focus Of Your Church’s Website
We get several requests per month for new church websites and a good 50% of all of those initial conversations the pastor or comms director is asking about features that they do not need—yet. We are here to give you a starting point if you are a small church (less than 100 in weekly attendance) you need to accomplish this one goal on your website.
Whether your church is just now considering its first website or your church has had a website for years, the importance and role are the same—to reach new people in your community. In other words, outreach.
The primary job of a church website is to attract and educate potential new visitors. Do not over complicate it. Every church starts here. No matter if you are a church of fifteen, fifty, or even fifteen hundred, the church website is used to answer some very basic questions for anyone who is considering a visit. The catch is—the website must look great doing it. People will not read your website if it is ugly and/or too complicated—it must be well designed too.
If your church’s website is well designed it allows a person to do a little fact-finding about your church—in the safety of their own time and place. They can explore all the questions they have and perhaps learn a bit about what to expect should they make a visit.
In essence—you empower the people you seek—to find you.
This will also extend your guest or visitor experience well before they ever step foot in your church.
So if you are a small church with a website or a new church looking to start one do not get caught up with all the razzle-dazzle and extras you see with larger church websites. You do not need most of those tools—yet. There are secondary and tertiary jobs we want to accomplish but your needs, for now, are simple. Inform and educate potential visitors about your church, your beliefs, and what to expect.
There will be a time and place for the online sermons, the pastor’s blogs, the cell group agendas, and certainly the weekly event calendars but for now . . . for now your church website only needs to serve the lost or unchurched who are looking for you.

Arlene with Celebration Church
Because of you [Integrity Web Studios], I see a growth in our school—and I see a lot of our school events increasing in participation. We have been really blessed by having this [website and weekly maintenance], I feel like, I am getting all the credit as the marketing director but it is you [Integrity Web Studios] that is doing all the work. We have gotten so many compliments from parents, new customers [parents] and my BOSS!
Cindy Johnson - Crescent City Christian School
Integrity went above and beyond the scope of what they were even paid to do. Integrity Web Studios cares for their clients and their client's success. If you have a church, or you are a pastor or any kind of ministry then I highly recommend you go with Integrity Web Studios.
Rob with 4Thirteen Fitness
Shane did a terrific job in creating our website. We are very happy.
James Wurm - Archdiocese of New Orleans - School Food & Nutrition
We have gotten a lot of new students because of our website. Because of clicks online and some people simply Googling us and finding our website and being really interested in what we have to offer. We were severely lacking in web presence before Integrity Web Studios. We wanted to extend our reach and better communicate with our community, our parents and anyone searching for Christian private schools who may be outside of our area.
Leslie Reed - Riverside Academy
While there are so many web developers to choose from, you get what you pay for and more with Integrity Web Studios. He is not only good at what he does, he is a good person overall. He actually cares about his clients and really lives up his business name.
