Let's Build Your
Church Website
in 2022

Let’s name off your problems!

There are 1 of 3 reasons you are here:

1. Your church website is not performing or none existent.

2. Your current website just isn't cutting it anymore and you need to get a new one.

3. Chris Pratt visited your church and you figured it's the best time to grow your church online.

‍

But what concerns the other two points, is that every time a new church comes to us, they say the same things:

• Our church website is outdated

• Our users are having a hard time navigating the website

• Our website is slow

• My website isn't reaching anybody

• We have been a church for years, and still don't have a website

• My website guy just won't get back to me on time.

‍

*These concerns don’t apply to you?
Congratulations 🎉 you’re an anomaly, and we can still help you.

‍

how we solve those issues?

Queue our entrance: We’re hitRefresh; we love churches AND we love helping them.

In fact:

We grew up in church (but more on that later), and we also grew up on the internet.

We have helped multiple churches (big and small) solve their online problems on the web.

‍

But how do we do it?

Well, it's simple, we have studied design and development for the majority of our lives, and
‍we know how to solve problems on your website.

To address all the points mentioned above, here's what we can do about them:

• Have an outdated website? we can make it look pretty!
• Your church members (or potential ones) can't find your information? We specialize in UI/UX and can help your user navigate your website with a clear design.
• Your church website is slow? We use pure code (no plugins) which runs super fast on the internet, and we use a CDN and AWS (these are fancy acronyms of things that host your website rapidly).
• Trouble getting traffic on your website? We have a team of SEO experts who will create a strategy for your website to rank higher and better.

And what our clients love the most is that we are a great fit for small church websites and megachurch websites.

(Feel free to Contact Us anytime if you have any questions whatsoever. )

But here comes the best part:
We use the best website builder on the market, the award-winning platform called Webflow.

Let's dive a little bit deeper into our process

‍

Understanding Our Process

Now that we have established what we solve and how we solve it, let's go over what your experience with us will look like:

Step 1: Starting With Hello

All good friendships start with a greeting, and that is where you and our team will be starting.

After we will be done talking about why our Creative Director Vlad named his Husky "Alaska", we will talk about more serious topics, such as:

• What is your church's vision?
• What kind of personality does your church portray?
• What goal(s) are you trying to achieve by building a website for your church?
• Does your church have a brand?
• And more...

Once we hang up (mutually), we get straight to work! No more waiting weeks for a rough draft.

‍

Step 2: Time to Design

This is Vlad:

We love Vlad, He will be in charge of giving your church a new look on the web.

With 5+ years of visual design experience, everything he designs is user experience-oriented and customer-driven.

‍

Almost there,

At the end of the initial design phase, you will be presented with a wireframe that will showcase the layout of your website. Once you approve, we will get straight to the design process

‍

You'll love this stage:

After we will be done researching and crafting the right design for your church, we will show you what your church website will officially look like. This is where you marvel at it, or request revisions.

He will create a good-looking design with users in mind because, in the end, their experience matters the most and the results need to speak for themselves.

‍

Step 3: Developing the Design

This is Alan:

We love him too, He will be in charge of taking the design you just approved and bringing it to life.

Alan has been using what he describes as "the best church website building platform" on the market called Webflow since 2019.

Why? you may or may not be asking.

Well because not only does it help properly structure the website and make it look exactly as it is on the design, but this tool also offers a great system to manage your church content.

Most churches have video libraries, events pages, blog posts, messages, etc which need to be published and continuously managed. Well, Webflow offers a great Content Management System which allows you to:

• Add Content
• Remove Content
• Edit Content
• Have multiple content editors.
• Edit Visually

‍

What About Web Hosting For Your Church?

- Well, we take good care of that as well.

We host through Webflow, and they so happen to provide top quality hosting services

What do we mean by that?

• Superfast content delivery via Amazon Cloudfront and Fastly (two of the best content delivery networks on the market)
• Reliable Hosting via Webflow
• Scalability-friendly
• Secure HTTPS/SSL Hosting

In other words, you don't have to worry about your website loading too slowly or not loading at all, or too many people visiting your website causing it to crash.

So.... Who are we? (And what do we know about Church)

‍

Alan and Vlad (aka "we")  have been attending church from a very young age, and we were always involved in various departments, whether it's:

• Worship
• Media
• Kids
• Ushers
• Enter that one custom church department here

So on and so forth...

And so when we met each other at Flame of Fire Ministry (now known as Flame of Fire Church), our sole passion was to see the church grow and reach people online.

We would start getting more involved in the creative department and help out the media team in any way we could.

During that period, we have learned the ins and outs of growing a church online, whether it's through social media or indexing on google.

And today, our desire remains the same, we want to help your church overcome the online barrier that it faces and help facilitate your online experience (we'll elaborate more on that later).

You can learn more about us on our About page.

‍

"Why Should I Work with You?"

In many instances, churches work with digital agencies that do not understand their needs.

What ends up happening is you hire an agency and start explaining to them what you need, and why you need it. But with us, it's the other way around

‍

Now don't get the wrong idea

We are here to understand what your church is about, and what vision your church has. But instead of you having to do your own research and scramble ideas as to what kind of pages you will need or what kind of user experience works best for churchgoers, we have accumulated enough knowledge and experience to take that weight off of you.

In short, we are here to take the headache portion out of creating your website-building experience.

This exact process has been used to help ZOE Church build their website.

And what does ZOE's Media Relations person says about us at the end of it all?

"I’ve had nothing but the best interactions and experiences working with this quick and excellent team!"
