Church Website Redesign
Your church has grown and changed. If your website still looks like it did a decade ago, it is quietly telling guests something that isn’t true.
A church website redesign keeps what works (your content, your giving and sermon tools, your search history) and rebuilds the rest so a first-time guest can find service times, location and what to expect on a phone in seconds. Redesigns with Gina Thomas Studio usually fit the Ministry package, from $3,500, over 4–6 weeks.
Signs it’s time
- Service times are hard to find, or out of date somewhere on the site.
- The site is hard to read or pinch-and-zoom on a phone.
- The menu has more than seven or eight items, and nobody remembers what half of them are.
- Only one person knows how to update it, and they’re busy.
- The photos are stock images, or of a building, not your people.
- There’s no clear page for someone planning their first visit.
What changes, and what stays
Stays: your sermons archive, your giving and church management tools, the pages people actually use, and your web addresses where possible, so you don’t lose what Google already knows about you. When an address does change, I set up redirects from the old one.
Changes: the structure, the words and the design. Fewer pages, clearer next steps, and a homepage that leads with what guests need: when, where, and what to expect.
How a redesign works
- Audit. I walk through your current site the way a first-time guest would, and share what I find.
- Simplify. Together we decide what to keep, merge or retire.
- Design and build. A new site, built by me, connected to your existing tools.
- Move over. Redirects, search setup and a launch your congregation barely notices, except that it’s better.
Curious what your church could look like? Try the Sketchbook on the homepage: type your web address and watch it redrawn.
Questions
Will we lose our Google ranking if we redesign?
Not if it is done carefully. Pages that matter keep their addresses where possible, old addresses redirect to new ones, and the sitemap is resubmitted to Google at launch.
Can you redesign a Squarespace, Wix or WordPress church site?
Yes. Gina can redesign and rebuild sites from any platform, and will recommend whether to stay on your current platform or move.
How long does a church website redesign take?
Most redesigns take 4–6 weeks from the first call to launch.
Tell me about your church.
A short note is enough. I’ll reply within two business days with honest next steps, even if that’s “you don’t need a new site yet.”
