Give your church website a fresh look by updating the design theme in a few simple steps. With customizable themes, your church website can look completely new. Change the menu, layout, color scheme, fonts, and more to fit your needs.

Visuals communicate as much as words, if not more, that’s why your church website design should demand serious attention. Whether you’re designing your own website from scratch (and if so, impressive), using a website builder, or hiring a designer, you’ll want to know the basics of website design.

When you entered the ministry, you probably didn’t dream of sitting at your computer tinkering with your church website.
And now you don’t have to.
Faithlife Sites frees you to focus on what matters most by giving you a church website that runs itself.
Plus, it’s free.
Faithlife Sites takes the work you and your staff already do every week—like keeping a calendar, creating announcements, or uploading a sermon—and uses it to automatically populate your church website.
You can get your site up and running in minutes and leave the updating to us.
When you send newsletters, create events, or post sermons through your Faithlife church group, all that information shows up on your website instantly. You never have to worry about conflicting or out-of-date information on your site, because Faithlife keeps everything in sync automatically.
And if you already use Faithlife tools like Proclaim and Faithlife Sermons, your work is even more effortless.
Now when someone asks, “Who runs your church website?” you can truly answer, “No one.”
Your church website is the front door of your church. When families are searching for a new church home, they start online. When they hit your homepage, you want to be sure you’re putting your best foot forward—accurately representing the heart and mission of your ministry.
You also want to be sure everything is clear and up to date.
Visitors will easily find:
Plus, Faithlife Sites offers members-only pages, revealing custom content to anyone in your church’s Faithlife group. That way sensitive information—like your church directory—isn’t exposed to the the whole internet, but is still easy to find for those in your church.
All of this helps bring more people into your church family, and bring your church family closer together.
Why rely on one tech-savvy person to make changes to your church website? If you or your staff need to change something, you should be able to do so immediately.
With Faithlife Sites, you can. You can grant anyone admin access, and no one needs to know any coding.
Simply update the relevant information in your Faithlife.com church group—such as event details or a new small group discussion PDF—and it will show up instantly on your website, beautifully designed and ready to go.
All your information lives in one central, easy-to-navigate place.
If you can type, you can have a website.
